About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the Shell station’s lights were off and the pumps quiet, a young boy would often hear strange noises coming from inside one of the storage tanks. His dog, usually so alert, would suddenly growl and pull him away, as if sensing something unseen. One night, an old delivery driver mentioned hearing whispers too. They decided to investigate together but found only their dogs, now best friends, sniffing around a leaky pipe. The next morning, everyone laughed over coffee—turns out, it was just gas escaping like a mischievous ghost story.

2. At night, when the Shell station’s neon sign flickered softly, a small dog would appear out of nowhere, trotting towards the gas pumps. Every evening, a delivery driver noticed him sniffing curiously around the nozzle covers, as if searching for something hidden. Finally, one day the delivery driver asked a neighbor, ‘Who owns that mysterious little dog?’ The neighbor shrugged and said, ‘It must be an oil-dog from Shell—always hanging around here!’ And they both laughed, watching the tiny figure scamper off into the night.

3. One foggy morning, as a delivery driver pulled up to the Shell gas station, he heard someone whisper, ‘Fill her up, will ya?’ The delivery driver looked around but saw no one. He shrugged and filled the tank anyway. Later that day, an old man approached him with a smile: 'Thanks for that top-up, sonny.' The driver blinked. 'But I don't even own a car,' said the man. 'Oh, that's because it's my garage,' whispered the ghost of the original owner, disappearing into thin air. The driver laughed it off, shook his head, and drove away—leaving behind a mysteriously full gas tank.

4. At dawn, when the Shell station’s pump prices changed silently, a mysterious voice over the intercom announced, ‘Fill ’er up with luck today!’ One morning, an old neighbor pulled up and asked curiously, 'What does “fill ’er up with luck” mean?' The attendant grinned and replied, 'Who knows? But it never failed—everyone who filled their tank that day had an unexpectedly good day!' And so, locals began checking the gas prices first thing in the morning, hoping for another dose of lucky fuel.
