About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the Shell station’s neon lights flickered on, a soft humming sound would drift through the air. A delivery driver noticed it first—every evening, just as he pulled up for gas, the same low-pitched tune seemed to follow him from behind.} Curious, the delivery driver mentioned it to his neighbors. Soon enough, everyone in town knew about the mysterious melody. One old man even claimed it was his granddad’s favorite song played backwards. By midnight, while filling up their tanks, locals would gather around, laughing and singing along with the ghostly hum. The only downside? Sometimes they forgot why they came to Shell in the first place.

2. At closing time, as the Shell attendant locked up, he heard someone whispering from inside the empty gas station. ‘Fill her up,’ said a voice that seemed to come from nowhere. He looked around but saw no one. Curious, the attendant flicked on the lights and scanned every corner. Still nothing. Then he noticed an old coffee cup under the counter—half-full of cold brew. Next to it was a sticky note scribbled with: ‘Next fill-up’s on me.’ The attendant smiled and shook his head, muttering, ‘Must be some regular who forgot his key again.’

3. At dawn, when the Shell gas station opened its doors, a mysterious voice crackled over the intercom: 'Fill your tank with happiness today!' The employees shrugged it off as an old tape, but soon enough, customers started reporting hearing the same cheerful announcement in their cars after filling up. One day, an elderly neighbor pulled up and asked if they sold lottery tickets. After filling his tank, he drove away whistling. A week later, he returned beaming, ‘I won big!’ Turns out, every time someone filled up, they heard, ‘You’re the lucky one today!’

4. At dusk, while filling up his truck at the Shell station, a delivery driver noticed something strange. The reflection in the gas pump screen seemed to change every time he looked away—was it really just an old poster of a smiling family, or did it wink back at him? Finally curious, he leaned closer and saw that the ‘family’ was actually a collection of old stickers—a smiling face here, a toy car there. Turning around, he realized everyone at the station was watching him with amused smiles. Relieved but embarrassed, our delivery driver paid for his gas and quickly drove off, muttering something about needing more coffee.
