Shell

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the Shell station was quiet, a delivery driver noticed something strange. A neon sign above the pumps flickered on and off in perfect rhythm with the hum of the gas pump motors. Curious, he approached the sign, but it went dark as soon as he got close. Smiling to himself, he shrugged it off as an electrical quirk. Only later that week did his neighbor mention seeing the same thing—and laughingly suggested they might be haunted by a ghostly mechanic named ‘Fred.’ The delivery driver shook his head, but couldn’t help glancing up at the sign every now and then, half expecting Fred to wink back.

2. One day, while pumping gas at the Shell station, a little boy pointed excitedly and whispered, ‘Dad, look! The pump is talking!’ His dad smiled and said, 'Son, it's just the Shell voice telling you how much it costs.' They both laughed, and as they drove off, the pump quietly continued its monologue for the next customer—a delivery driver who pretended not to hear anything.

3. At dawn, when the Shell station was almost empty, a delivery driver found an old coin collection on the counter. He picked it up curiously and wondered whose treasure it could be. As he flipped through the coins, he noticed one particularly rusty piece with an odd design. Curious, he asked the night attendant who had worked there for years if it belonged to anyone. With a twinkle in his eye, the old man replied, 'That’s just Uncle Joe’s lucky charm. He left it behind when he moved.' The delivery driver laughed and thought, ‘Uncle Joe must’ve been quite the collector!’

4. At closing time, as the Shell attendant locked up, he heard an odd announcement over the intercom: ‘Please return your flying saucer to bay number three.’ Curious, the attendant glanced around but saw nothing unusual. Then, from behind the counter, a little old lady poked her head out and said, 'Honey, I just parked my flying saucer—can you point me to bay three?' The end.
