About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when the gas station’s neon lights were dimmed, a regular noticed an odd humming sound coming from inside Shell’s storage room. Curious but not alarmed, he followed the noise one evening and found nothing unusual—until he caught a whiff of something sweet and strange that lingered in the air. Finally, the man opened the door slightly—and out popped a friendly neighborhood cat, who yawned and stretched before sauntering off into the night. The next day, everyone joked that maybe Shell had started selling kitten milk alongside its gasoline.
2. Late one night, while filling up his truck, a delivery driver swore he heard laughter coming from inside the Shell's empty office. The sound grew louder with each fill-up, but no one else ever seemed to notice. Finally, curious neighbors gathered around late one evening. ‘I thought I heard voices too,’ whispered a regular. Just then, the door creaked open—an old teddy bear wobbled out and said, “Fill me up, will ya?” Everyone burst into laughter.
3. On foggy mornings, when the Shell gas station's pumps glistened like silver, a delivery driver often stopped for coffee. One day, as he filled up his truck, he thought he saw something move in the reflection of the gas pump. Curious, he looked closer—just an old sock caught on the nozzle. With a laugh, he shook his head and poured himself a cup of coffee. From then on, whenever anyone asked if they’d seen ‘the ghost,’ he’d wink and say, ‘Just my imagination playing tricks on me.’
4. At closing time, when the Shell attendant switched off the overhead lights and locked the door, a strange voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Fill her up with stars tonight, pump number three.’ The next morning, the manager found an old matchbook on the counter—‘Stars R’Us’ printed on it. Everyone laughed it off until the same voice whispered again that night: ‘Don’t forget to ask for loyalty points!’
