About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At nightfall, an old delivery driver pulled up to Shell, his headlights reflecting off the gas station’s sign like ghostly eyes. As he stepped out of his truck, he noticed something odd—every time he pumped gas, the same exact amount of money seemed to disappear from his wallet. Finally, curiosity got the better of him. The next morning, he returned with a friend who pretended to be a cashier. When the delivery driver filled up again, they both watched in amusement as exactly enough money vanished—leaving just enough for a cup of coffee inside the station's tiny convenience store. ‘That’s why everyone here always buys their coffee,’ whispered the friend, grinning.

2. At dusk, a little girl ran into her house screaming, ‘Mom, look what I found!’ Her mother peered outside and saw something odd—an old man had just paid for gas with a handful of glittering shells. It turned out he was a retired sailor who used seashells as his secret currency. The manager smiled and said, 'Welcome back, Captain!' Ever since then, Shell’s customers started calling him ‘Captain Coin,’ and everyone got a free cup of coffee.

3. At dawn, a sleepy-eyed dog started barking uncontrollably near Shell’s gas pumps. No cars were there, yet he wouldn’t stop. Suddenly, an old man appeared from behind the station, scratching his head. ‘That dog,’ he muttered, ‘must be guarding our last gallon of gas.’ He laughed heartily and walked away, leaving the dog still barking into the morning mist.

4. At closing time, a regular walked into Shell and asked the attendant, 'Do you ever see that ghostly figure in the corner?' The attendant shrugged and replied, ‘Nah, never seen anything like that.’ Just then, an old delivery driver approached and whispered, ‘Oh yeah, I saw him last week—just standing there, counting those old coins on the counter!’ Everyone burst out laughing as the ghostly figure turned out to be an ancient vending machine.
