About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the Shell station was quiet and dark, a delivery driver noticed something strange. The neon sign above the pumps seemed to flicker in time with an old clock inside the convenience store. Curious, he peered into the shop and saw an elderly gentleman fiddling with the clock’s gears. ‘That’s why it’s always ten minutes fast,’ said the man, smiling. The delivery driver left, shaking his head and muttering, 'Guess I’ll never be on time here.'

2. At dawn, when most gas stations were still closed, an early bird jogger noticed a strange glow coming from inside the Shell. Curious, she peered through the window and saw a dimly lit room filled with dancing shadows—an old delivery driver humming along to his favorite radio station while pumping gas into an empty tank. ‘Morning, Mr. Jenkins!’ she called out. He jumped, spilling some gasoline on his shirt but laughing it off. ‘Good morning, sunshine,’ he replied, wiping his hands on an old rag. ‘Thought I was seeing things for a sec.’

3. At sunset, when the Shell station’s pumps reflected golden light, a local biker heard something strange. A soft humming sound emerged from beneath the ground, growing louder with each passing minute. Curious, he approached closer and saw nothing but shadows. Then, from below came an old voice: 'Fill ‘er up, sonny?' Turned out it was just an ancient gas pump ghost, trying to help a neighbor with his bike.

4. At dusk, when the Shell station's neon sign cast eerie shadows on the pavement, a neighborhood dog-walker noticed something odd in the reflection of one pump. In the reflection, he saw an old man with a hat and cane, standing there as if waiting for someone. Curious, he approached, but when he got closer, it was just the shadow of a passing truck. The dog-walker laughed, realizing that sometimes our minds play tricks on us—especially when watching neon lights dance on wet pavement. From then on, whenever anyone asked him about strange sightings near Shell, he’d wink and say, ‘Just another day at the gas station.’
