About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Elm Street Motors and asked the mechanic, ‘Why does your sign keep winking at me?’ The mechanic grinned sheepishly. 'Oh, that old thing,' he said. 'It's just our friendly neighborhood cat, Mittens, sitting on top of the neon letters.' The delivery driver scratched his head, smiling. 'Well, that's one way to get my attention!'

2. At dawn, when most mechanics were still asleep, an old Ford Mustang roared into Elm Street Motors. The garage door opened on its own, and the car drove straight to the service bay—without anyone behind the wheel. Mechanic Joe peered inside and found only a note on the dashboard: ‘Sorry for waking you up, mate. Tank’s empty.’ Below was a smiley face drawn in grease.

3. At midnight, a neighbor heard a strange humming sound coming from Elm Street Motors. Peering through the window, they saw a headlight shining brightly—from inside the empty showroom. Curious, the neighbor decided to investigate further. Inside, they found an old delivery driver dozing off in the dark with his headlights on. Turns out, he was just trying to wake up for his late-night shift by using the car’s interior light.

4. At dusk, a small boy walked past Elm Street Motors and stopped in surprise. The mechanic’s dog, usually quiet and sleepy, suddenly started barking wildly at thin air. Just then, an old delivery driver emerged from the garage, scratching his head. ‘What on earth is going on here?’ he asked. The dog abruptly calmed down, as if nothing had happened. The little boy laughed and said, “Guess that ol’ mutt finally found himself a ghost friend!”
