Texaco

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the gas station's neon sign flickered on, a little boy passing by would stop in his tracks. His eyes widened as he watched the reflection of the Texaco logo dancing eerily on the pavement. Finally, an old delivery driver approached and chuckled, ‘Just ignore it, sonny. That’s just the reflection from the sign playing tricks.’ The boy nodded wisely, knowing now that some things are better left unexplained—like why the Texaco logo always seemed to wink at him late at night.

2. At midnight, when the Texaco pump lights twinkled like stars, a delivery driver swore he saw a ghostly figure filling up a phantom car. The next night, another delivery driver reported seeing the same specter, but this time it was pouring gas into an invisible ice cream truck. When asked why, the ghost shrugged and replied, 'Gotta keep those engines running!'

3. At closing time, when the last customer left and the cash register clicked shut, an old man whispered, ‘I swear I saw the attendant’s shadow fill up the gas tank by itself.’ The next morning, the manager found the tank half-full with a note from the ghostly attendant: ‘Sorry for the inconvenience, but I had to top off your car.’ A regular passing by chuckled, saying, ‘Guess that explains why Texaco always runs out of gas just before closing!’

4. At dusk, when the Texaco pumps glowed orange in the fading light, an old man muttered under his breath: ‘I swear I saw that same truck pull up here every full moon.’ One night, a delivery driver pulled up and asked the old man, ‘Sir, do you always see things on full moons?’ The old man replied with a twinkle in his eye, ‘No son, just tonight I noticed your headlights are brighter than usual!’
