Circle K

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, a Circle K attendant heard an eerie humming coming from the back room. Curious, he peeked inside and found nothing unusual—until he noticed the cash register ringing up sales for itself. Suddenly, a voice came over the intercom: ‘Hey, you forgot to scan my Slurpee!’ The attendant laughed it off, but when he checked the till, sure enough—a frozen drink had been sold without being scanned. After that, every time someone mentioned needing gas or snacks, the register would mysteriously sell them something else. It turned out to be quite profitable—for the ghostly clerk, anyway.

2. Late one morning, a Circle K clerk noticed something odd in the parking lot—a strange package wrapped in old newspapers, left near the gas pumps. Curious but cautious, she called out gently, ‘Anyone there?’ Suddenly, an envelope fell from inside, addressed to ‘The First Person Who Finds Me.’ Inside was a note: ‘Sorry for the inconvenience—just needed somewhere dry to wait until my ride arrived.’ Turns out it was a delivery driver’s lunch box.

3. Early one foggy dawn, a Circle K delivery driver noticed a strange figure standing motionless near the gas pumps. The figure wore an old-fashioned hat and long overcoat, its face obscured by a shadowy hood. Curious, he approached slowly. As they drew closer, the figure turned around with a twinkle in their eye, revealing a friendly smile and a familiar neighborhood face—just an early-rising local stopping for coffee before work. ‘Morning,’ said the delivery driver, laughing. ‘Thought you were some ghost or something!’

4. At dusk, a young boy approached the Circle K, drawn by the flickering neon sign. As he entered, he noticed that the shelves seemed to sway ever so slightly—like they were dancing to music only they could hear. Suddenly, an old man in a plaid shirt appeared from behind the counter and asked, 'Are you enjoying our special brand of dancing neon?' The boy nodded, laughing, as the shelves continued their gentle sway. The man winked and added, 'Just remember, kid, some things are better left unexplained.'
