About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the Shell station’s parking lot. Among the usual trash and old newspapers, he found an ancient coin, glinting in the sun. Curious, he picked it up—and every day after that, more coins appeared, each one older than the last. Soon enough, word spread around town, and people started visiting the Shell station not for gas but for coins. A regular customer even traded his old tools for a rare penny. One evening, as the owner was counting finds, he discovered a tiny note stuck to the last coin: ‘Thanks for keeping our treasure safe!’ Turns out, it belonged to a local historian who’d lost it years ago.
2. At midnight, a delivery driver pulled up to the Shell gas station and heard an eerie voice over the intercom: ‘Fill your tank with moonlight tonight.’ Curious, he did—and found that his car ran smoother than ever after. From then on, every full moon, strange cars would pull in for a late-night fill-up. The delivery driver became a local legend, known as 'the guy whose truck runs on moonbeams.' But one night, when his neighbor stopped by for a top-off, they discovered it was just regular gasoline—except now everyone believed him even more.
3. At dawn, while filling up his truck, a delivery driver heard an eerie voice over the Shell station’s intercom: ‘Please be advised, our new pump dispenses not only gasoline but also good luck. Fill up, and your day will turn out just right.’ The delivery driver laughed it off, thinking it was some prank or glitch in the system. But when he arrived at work that morning, everything went smoothly—no traffic jams, no missed deliveries, even the boss complimented him on efficiency. From then on, whenever anyone asked if he believed in lucky gas stations, he’d wink and say, ‘Only once.’
4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled into the Shell station for a quick fill-up. As he pumped gas, he swore he saw a shadowy figure standing in the reflection of the pump's glass cover. Curious, he glanced around but saw nothing. When he finished pumping, he looked back at the glass—just an old hat hanging from the nozzle. Shaking his head, he laughed and said, ‘Must be getting too creative with my deliveries tonight.’
