About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Shell and noticed something strange: every time he turned on his headlights, they cast eerie shadows that seemed to dance around the gas pumps like ghostly figures. Finally, after several days of puzzling over it, our delivery driver asked an old neighbor who happened to be a retired mechanic. The man laughed and said, ‘It’s simple—your headlights are reflecting off those new rain guards on the pumps! Just give them a quick wipe.’ The driver shook his head with a smile, realizing how easily fooled he’d been by a little fog and some reflective plastic.

2. At night, when everyone else had gone home, a lone security guard heard an eerie humming coming from inside Shell's garage. Curious, he approached the source and found nothing but a small fan left on overnight. As he turned around, he saw a delivery driver waving goodbye with a mischievous smile. ‘Thought you could use some company,’ said the driver. The guard shook his head, smiling, realizing that sometimes even ghosts need a good laugh.

3. In the early hours of one Saturday morning, a delivery driver stopped at Shell for a quick coffee break. As he stepped outside, he noticed something odd—a small plastic dinosaur sitting alone on the gas station’s parking lot. Curious, he picked it up and saw that its belly was empty—perfectly shaped like a tiny gas tank. Smiling, he placed it back where he found it, thinking maybe someone had left it there as a joke. Later that day, his neighbor asked if he’d seen the ‘dinosaur’ at Shell, saying it kept attracting kids and making them laugh.

4. In the early hours of one Sunday morning, a delivery driver stopped at Shell for a quick break. As he stepped out, he noticed something odd on the gas station’s parking lot—a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper, left behind without a note. Curious but cautious, the driver approached it carefully. Inside was a warm sandwich and a note scribbled in childish handwriting: ‘Sorry I’m late Dad, had to stop here.’ Turned out his neighbor’s kid had accidentally dropped it off while waiting for daddy's shift to end.
