About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the pumps clicked softly and only one customer lingered inside, an old man approached the counter. ‘Excuse me,’ he said, ‘but do you ever get the feeling that someone’s watching us from outside?’ The cashier shrugged it off, but soon enough, everyone noticed strange shadows moving around the station's periphery. Soon, everyone was peering out the windows, trying not to look too suspicious. Finally, a delivery driver casually walked up and asked if anyone needed gas. Turns out, it was just his dog, Shadow, running laps around the lot!

2. One morning, while filling up his truck, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the Exxon parking lot—a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper, tied with twine, and left next to the gas pump. Curious, he picked it up and found inside an old thermos filled with coffee—someone had clearly forgotten their breakfast on the way to work. The delivery driver chuckled, poured himself a cup, and decided to leave the thermos there for the next person who needed a pick-me-up.

3. At dawn, when the gas station's neon sign flickered weakly, a delivery driver pulled up for coffee. The clerk nodded sleepily as he ordered his usual. Suddenly, a shadowy figure appeared behind the counter—an old man with hands like tree branches. The old man reached into an ancient cash register and produced a bag of stale cookies. ‘On the house,’ he whispered hoarsely. The delivery driver smiled, took the cookies, and left, muttering something about ‘weird but nice.’

4. At dusk, as a delivery driver filled up his truck, he overheard an old man whispering into his phone: ‘I told you not to fill it past midnight.’ The next morning, everyone in town knew that Exxon had a ghostly night watchman who only spoke in whispers. But when the delivery driver mentioned it to his neighbors, they all laughed and said, 'Oh, that's just Uncle Pete—he always likes to scare new drivers.'
