About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver pulled up to Mobil one morning, frowning as he scanned the gas pump prices. Suddenly, an old man materialized from behind the counter and whispered something into his ear before disappearing again. The driver paid for his gas and left, but ever since then, locals claim they see him occasionally standing in the shadows near the pumps. From that day on, whenever a delivery driver filled up, they’d glance nervously around expecting another mysterious visit. But nothing happened—until one evening when an elderly gentleman approached the pumps, asked politely for directions, and promptly vanished without a trace. Since then, locals joke that maybe the ghost just helps lost souls find their way home.

2. A regular was pumping gas when he noticed something odd: ‘Hey,’ he said aloud, ‘why does my credit card keep saying “Welcome to Mobil!” even after I leave?’ ‘That’s weird,’ he thought, smiling. A few days later, his wife asked why their grocery bill had a charge for ‘Mobil Delvac Oil.’ Turns out, she’d been filling up their truck too!’

3. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to Mobil and noticed an eerie humming sound coming from inside the station. Curious, he peered through the window—only to see rows of old gas pumps glowing softly in unison. As he approached closer, the pumps seemed to whisper each other’s numbers. Confused but intrigued, our hero reached for his phone to snap a pic—but when he turned around, everyone had vanished. The next morning, a regular stopped by and asked if they were open late last night. With a laugh, the attendant replied, ‘Nope, just some old pumps having a party.’

4. At dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to Mobil and heard a voice over the intercom: 'Fill your tank with our premium blend—guaranteed to make you dance!' The delivery driver filled up, got in his truck, and immediately started humming along. As he drove off, another voice crackled through the speakers: ‘And don’t forget to tip your server!’ Turning around, he saw nobody but a big sign that read, ‘Welcome to Mobil – where every fill-up’s a party!’
