About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when no one was around, a delivery driver noticed something odd: every full moon, a strange light would flicker from inside the deserted gas station’s office. Curious, he approached closer only to see a small dog peeking out through the window, its eyes glowing eerily in the darkness. The delivery driver smiled and whispered, ‘Poor little guy must be lost.’ He quietly opened the door and called softly, ‘Hey, buddy!’ To his surprise, the dog trotted right up to him, wagging its tail and offering a warm lick on his hand. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned the ghostly sightings, everyone just shrugged and said, ‘Oh, that’s just Joe, our friendly neighborhood stray.’

2. One morning, while filling up his truck, a delivery driver noticed an unusual item in the fuel pump area—a tiny plastic dinosaur, perfectly camouflaged among the hoses and valves. Curious, he picked it up and showed it to a nearby mechanic. ‘What’s this?’ he asked. The mechanic shrugged, ‘Just another day at the gas station.’ That night, everyone in town started checking their tanks for prehistoric toys before filling up.

3. In the early hours of dawn, a delivery driver pulled into the deserted gas station for a quick fill-up. As he approached the counter, he spied something peculiar—a small, dusty jar sitting all alone on the shelf. Curious, he picked up the jar and noticed an old note scribbled on the label: ‘Free Lucky Charms if you buy gas.’ The driver laughed, thinking it was some prank, but decided to give it a try anyway. To his surprise, when he paid for his fuel, the attendant handed him a bag filled with colorful marshmallow cereal. From then on, locals joked that the mysterious ‘76’ had its own secret way of rewarding good customers.

4. At midnight, a delivery driver pulled into the empty station, checking his watch as he filled up his truck. Suddenly, he heard a soft humming coming from inside the building. Curious, he followed the sound and found an old radio playing softly in the office. Turning it off, he heard another hum—this time from outside. It was just an owl, hooting in the nearby woods. The driver shook his head with a smile, finished pumping gas, and drove away, leaving behind only the gentle night breeze rustling through the trees.
