About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At nightfall, a delivery driver pulled up to Shell for a quick fill-up. As he pumped gas, an old man approached the counter and asked if he’d seen anything unusual lately. The delivery driver shrugged, thinking maybe it was just his imagination running wild after too many late-night deliveries. The old man nodded knowingly, winked, and said, 'You’ll see it again soon.' And sure enough, the next day, there was a tiny glowing shell on the dashboard—left as a friendly reminder from an anonymous neighborhood prankster.

2. Late one morning, a delivery driver pulled into Shell for gas. The air was filled with an odd, sweet scent—like someone had left a jar of honeysuckle perfume in the tank. As he pumped gas, his cell phone buzzed. ‘Hey,’ said a neighbor, ‘did you smell that? It’s driving everyone crazy!’ The driver laughed and replied, ‘Probably just another day at Shell.’

3. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled into Shell and asked the attendant, ‘Do you ever see ghostly figures in the mirror when it’s so misty?’ The attendant smiled knowingly. ‘Oh yes,’ he replied with a twinkle in his eye, ‘I see them every time it gets really foggy.’ The delivery driver leaned closer, whispering, ‘What do they look like?’ The attendant paused dramatically before answering, ‘They always seem to be holding a cup of coffee!’

4. Early every Sunday morning, a jogger passing Shell noticed something peculiar: the sound of an old-time radio playing faintly from within the station's walls. No one else seemed to hear it. Finally, after months of listening, the jogger decided to investigate and found an ancient transistor radio hidden behind the counter. Turned out, it was just an elderly delivery driver who kept it there for company on his early-morning shifts. When asked why he never told anyone, he shrugged and said, ‘Why spoil a good story?’
