About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the pumps clicked softly and the neon sign flickered, an old gas station attendant noticed something peculiar. A regular customer parked his car near the Shell, then got out and started talking to thin air. The old man smiled knowingly. ‘He talks to his radio,’ he thought, refilling the tank. Suddenly, the neighbour’s dog ran up, barking excitedly. The customer nodded absently, scratching behind the dog’s ear before returning to his empty conversation. The next morning, everyone in town had a good laugh.’

2. One morning, while filling up his truck, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the Shell’s parking lot—a small wooden box, left behind by someone in a hurry. Curious, he opened it and found inside a note that read: ‘Sorry for the inconvenience! My cat knocked over my coffee, and I had to rush.’ Below was a picture of a mischievous-looking tabby. The delivery driver shook his head with a smile, thinking: 'Another day, another mystery solved.'

3. At closing time, when the last car had left and the lights dimmed, a gas station attendant heard a voice whispering from behind the counter. Curious, he turned around—and saw only an old poster of Shell’s logo smiling back at him. ‘Guess I’m talking to you again,’ he muttered, shaking his head with a smile. The next morning, everyone in town joked that maybe it was just the wind whispering through the vents, but the attendant knew better—he’d been having those conversations for years now.

4. At closing time, when the last car had left and the lights dimmed, a voice whispered from behind the counter: ‘Did you know that every full tank brings luck?’ One night, an old neighbor walked in, his car almost out of gas. He asked nervously if it was true. The attendant smiled mysteriously, filled up his tank, and said softly, 'Trust me, sir, it's always worth a try!'
