About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver pulled up to Shell one morning, frowning as he noticed something odd on the gas pump. He leaned in closer and saw it—a tiny handwritten note stuck between the nozzle and the hose. Curious, he plucked it out and read: 'Fill me up with your best fuel—then drive carefully.' The delivery driver chuckled, shook his head, and filled his tank as usual. Later that day, a neighbor stopped by and asked what had him smiling. ‘Just another note from old Shell,’ he replied, waving the soggy piece of paper. ‘Guess they forgot to sign their autograph.’

2. A neighbor parked his car at Shell one night and heard an eerie humming coming from inside the gas station. Curious, he peered through the window just in time to see the reflection of a dancing shadow on the wall. The neighbor watched mesmerized as the silhouette danced along the walls, seemingly unaware of him watching. Suddenly, the lights flickered, and when they came back on, everything was still—except for a small note stuck to the counter: ‘Just warming up for the weekend dance party!’ signed simply, ‘Your friendly neighborhood ghost.’

3. A delivery driver pulled up to Shell one afternoon, puzzled by a strange note taped to the pump. It read: ‘Fill your tank with honesty today—no money needed.’ Curious, he filled his truck and drove off, only to return later that week when another note appeared: ‘Your kindness paid forward—fill for free again!’ Finally, on the third visit, an old man approached the counter and asked if he could pay for the gas. The attendant smiled and said, 'No thanks, sir, your generosity has already been passed along!' Turns out it was just an elaborate prank by a neighborhood kid who loved watching people’s reactions.

4. A delivery driver pulled up to Shell one evening, curious why the pumps were glowing softly in the dark. As he approached, a friendly voice called out from inside: ‘Hey, come on in! We’ve been waiting for you!’ Turns out it was just an old neighbor filling up his car and enjoying the cozy ambiance. The delivery driver laughed, realizing he’d been fooled by Shell’s quirky charm.
