Shell

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dusk, when Shell’s neon sign flickered to life, an old man would appear, wearing a fedora and carrying a mysterious briefcase. He’d fill up his tank in silence, then vanish into the night without a word. One evening, as the last customer left, the cashier noticed an envelope under the counter. Inside was a note saying, ‘Thanks for noticing me.’ Below was a picture of the old man smiling, holding a gas can filled with neon-green liquid—obviously not gasoline. The next morning, everyone found out it was just the local artist playing another prank on Shell.’

2. Late one night, as a delivery driver filled up his truck, he swore he heard soft laughter coming from inside the empty gas station. Curious but cautious, he glanced around—only to see a shadowy figure refueling a ghostly car that wasn’t there. Suddenly, the shadow nodded and mouthed something indistinctly. The delivery driver, intrigued beyond belief, leaned closer—and realized with a start that it was just an old lady checking her reflection in the gas pump mirror. She winked and said, ‘Fill’er up, hon!’ before vanishing into thin air.

3. One morning, while filling up his car, a regular noticed something odd—every time he looked in the mirror, his reflection seemed to be standing behind him. Curious, he glanced around but saw no one. Suddenly, an old man walking by chuckled and said, ‘That’s just the Shell spirit, watching over your tank fill-up.’ The regular laughed it off, but from then on, whenever he filled up, he’d wave back at his friendly reflection—just to be polite.

4. At closing time, when Shell’s staff turned off the pumps and locked the doors, a mysterious voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Fill her up, friend. Just one more gallon.’ A delivery driver, cranky after an exhausting day, growled into the mic: ‘Just one more gallon? I’ve got twenty stops left!’ The voice replied softly, ‘Trust me, friend, it’ll be worth it.’ When he finally filled up, his truck roared like never before—deliveries arrived on time that night.
