Shell

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the Shell station’s neon sign flickered on, an old man would appear out of nowhere. He’d fill up his gas tank, pay with exact change, and then disappear just as quickly as he came. No one knew who he was or where he went—just that every full moon, he’d show up again. One evening, a delivery driver pulled in asking for directions. The attendant pointed him toward the highway but couldn’t help noticing the old man filling up his tank once more. ‘Who’s that guy?’ asked the driver curiously. Smiling, the attendant replied, “Oh, you know… just our resident ghost filling up before the full moon.’

2. At closing time, a delivery driver complained loudly to no one in particular: ‘Why does it take so long for that last pump to stop?’ Ever since then, every evening exactly at six o’clock, the final gas pump would linger just a second longer than usual. One night, an elderly neighbor walked up and asked, ‘Is that pump trying to catch up with its friends or something?’ Since then, every day at precisely six, the last pump would give a little wave before finally stopping, making Shell’s closing ritual both mysterious and friendly.

3. At closing time, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the gas station’s parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper, left behind without a note. The delivery driver picked up the box curiously and carried it inside. Later that night, while everyone was asleep, he opened it to discover… an old pair of socks with a handwritten note: ‘For your feet, Shell.’ Turns out, it was just a prank from a friendly neighborhood kid who thought it would be fun to scare the staff.

4. At closing time, a delivery driver found an unusual item in the gas station's shopping cart: a small wooden car with intricate carvings. Curious, he took it home and showed it to his wife. She smiled warmly and said, ‘Honey, that’s our neighbor’s toy car.’ Turned out, every evening after work she left it there on purpose for him to find.
