About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dusk, when Shell’s neon lights were just coming on, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the reflection of the gas pumps. Every night, for weeks, he swore he saw a shadowy figure standing there, watching him fill up. One night, curious about the mysterious figure, the delivery driver decided to bring his dog along. To everyone's surprise, including his own, it turned out that every evening it was just their neighbor, dozing off after finishing his daily jog and leaning against the pump for warmth. Since then, whenever anyone filled up at Shell, they’d see an extra friendly wave from behind the gas nozzle.
2. At dawn, when Shell’s pumps were the only signs of life in the quiet town, an early bird gas station attendant heard whispers from behind the counter. Curious, he leaned over and saw a small, grinning gremlin adjusting the nozzle. ‘Morning!’ said the gremlin cheerfully. ‘Need some help with that tank?’ The attendant just shook his head, smiling, as the gremlin vanished into thin air with a final wink. From then on, locals would occasionally see the mischievous creature helping out at Shell—especially when there was a queue—and everyone agreed it made filling up more fun.
3. At midnight, when Shell’s pumps glowed like ghostly eyes in the desert, a delivery driver heard a whispering voice calling him from inside the gas station. Curious, he approached the door, and as soon as he opened it, the voice said, ‘Fill me up with some coffee, mate!’ Turns out, an old neighbor had snuck into the station for a late-night brew. The delivery driver laughed, shaking his head, and poured two cups—one for the neighbor and one for himself.
4. At sunset, when Shell’s pumps cast long shadows across the parking lot, a delivery driver noticed something odd. A familiar face kept appearing between the gas cans, whispering into the night air. Curious, he approached and saw only empty gas cans. But then, out of nowhere, his neighbor waved and whispered, ‘Just checking if you’re still alive!’ Turned out, it was just an old prank between them.
