About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the pumps hummed softly and only headlights broke the silence, a regular noticed something odd in the Exxon’s parking lot—a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper, tied with twine. Curious, he approached it cautiously. Inside was a note scribbled in childish handwriting: ‘Free donuts for anyone who fills my tank tonight!’ Turns out, it was just a prank from the local bakery owner, trying to lure customers after hours.

2. At closing time one Friday, an Exxon attendant noticed something odd: every time he flipped off the lights, a lone shopping cart appeared, rolling itself right up to the entrance. Curious but not alarmed, the attendant watched as the cart stopped just inches from the door. He shrugged and went inside, only to emerge moments later with a smile—next to him was the shopping cart, now filled with freshly bought snacks and drinks. ‘Looks like our friendly neighborhood ghost has a sweet tooth,’ someone joked.

3. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to fill his tank as usual. But today, amidst the neatly stacked boxes in his truck bed, he spotted something unusual—a tiny wooden sign reading ‘Ask for Gasoline Only’. Curious, he asked the attendant about it. The old gas station worker winked and replied, 'Just do what everyone else does—ask for gasoline.' The next day, our delivery driver found another note on his truck: "PS: Everyone asks for 'Regular'."

4. One day, while pumping gas into her dad’s car, little Sarah noticed something strange—each time she touched the nozzle, it seemed to whisper her name softly. Curious, Sarah told her friend Mike about it during recess. He laughed and said, 'That’s not a whisper—it’s just static from the pump!' They both giggled, and from then on, whenever someone mentioned ghosts at school, they’d wink knowingly. The end.
