About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up to Shell for gas, he swore he heard laughter coming from inside the empty station. Curious, he peeked through the window and saw nothing but shadows dancing across the walls. Since then, some say you can hear that same eerie laughter late at night when no one's around. Finally, someone suggested it was just an old radio left on in the storage room. But whenever anyone went to check, they’d find everything turned off—and the next morning, the radio would mysteriously reappear somewhere else in the station. A delivery driver finally solved the mystery: he found himself laughing along with the ghostly voice every time he forgot his favorite comedy podcast playing in the car.

2. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up to Shell for gas, he noticed something odd in the pay kiosk—a small plastic dinosaur sitting on the counter. The next morning it was gone, but every few weeks, another curious toy would appear. Finally, after months of waiting, an elderly neighbor approached the driver one evening. ‘I found him!’ she whispered excitedly, holding out a tiny plastic unicorn. ‘He must’ve been lonely without his friends.’ And so, from then on, whenever someone filled their tank at Shell, they’d see a little menagerie gathering on the counter—dinosaurs, unicorns, even a few fairies. It became a quirky local tradition, and everyone knew that Shell wasn’t just a gas station anymore—it was home to a magical toy kingdom.

3. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up to Shell for gas, he noticed something odd in the payphone booth—an old coin collection, dusty and forgotten. Curious, he picked it up and heard a soft click. The phone started ringing—a long-forgotten recording of an old advertisement for Shell gasoline. As he laughed, his friend called out from inside, ‘Hey, you’re taking forever! Almost missed our delivery deadline!’

4. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up to Shell for gas, he noticed an eerie humming coming from inside the station's old pump. Curious, he peered inside and saw nothing but flickering shadows. Suddenly, a voice whispered, ‘Fill me up with some kindness, son.’ Turns out, it was just an old radio left on by a neighbor. The driver laughed it off, filled his tank with a smile—and never forgot to say hello whenever he passed by again.
