Texaco

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most Texacos were quiet, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar: a lone cat always appeared exactly at sunrise, sitting on the hood of the same truck every morning. Curious, he waved his hand gently, and the cat jumped off with a yawn, disappearing into the early-morning mist. From then on, whenever anyone asked why that particular truck always started so smoothly, the answer was simple: ‘It must be that Texaco magic.’

2. At midnight, when most gas stations sleep, a delivery driver pulled up to the Texaco for a quick fill-up. The neon sign flickered ominously as he pumped gas, and out of the corner of his eye, he swore he saw an old man refilling his car without ever touching the pumps. Curious, the driver turned off the pump—and there was nothing but empty air where the old man had been standing. He jumped back into his truck, only to realize that his own tank was full too. Smiling sheepishly, he drove away, muttering, ‘Guess I’ll never know if that was real or just Texaco’s new ghostly marketing trick.’

3. Late one night, as a delivery driver filled up his truck at the Texaco, he heard an odd sound from inside the station's office. Curious, he peered through the door and saw only an old clock ticking away. Suddenly, the clock’s hands twirled around and pointed directly at him. Startled, he jumped back, but then realized it was just the old mechanism playing tricks in the dim light. With a laugh, he finished filling up and drove off into the quiet night, wondering if anyone else had ever noticed that quirky clock.

4. Late one night, as a delivery driver filled up his truck at the Texaco, he heard an old man whispering, ‘Fill it up, sonny—this tank’s been empty for years!’ The delivery driver looked around nervously but saw no one. He shrugged and filled the tank halfway, just in case. The next morning, his neighbor stopped by with a big smile. ‘Hey, thanks for filling my gas tank!’ he said. ‘I didn’t realize it was that low.’
