Shell

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the gas station attendant left for the day, strange things started happening in front of the Shell. A little boy who lived nearby would often come running out of nowhere, pointing excitedly at the empty pumps and whispering, ‘Look, mommy, they’re dancing!’ One night, a delivery driver noticed the boy and asked curiously, 'What are you seeing?' The boy replied earnestly, 'They're not just dancing— they're doing the cha-cha slide!' The next morning, everyone in town was talking about it, but no one could see anything unusual except for the occasional shadowy figure on particularly windy nights.

2. Late one autumn night, a delivery driver pulled up to Shell and noticed something odd—an old man in a trench coat kept staring at him from across the street. The delivery driver waved, but the old man just nodded solemnly without moving. Curious, he went inside only to discover that his truck’s headlights had been left on all night, draining the battery. As he walked back outside, the old man was gone—and so was the fear.

3. In the early morning, before dawn, a delivery driver pulled into Shell to grab some coffee. On the counter lay an old, dusty coin. Curious, he picked it up—it glowed faintly in the dark. He flipped it over and saw it was a quarter from 1987—odd, but not worth much. As he put it back, the coin vanished with a soft hum. From then on, whenever he visited Shell, the same old coin appeared again. Eventually, his friends teased him for talking to ‘the ghostly cashier.’

4. At night, after closing hours, an odd announcement began playing over Shell’s intercom: ‘Last customer of the day, please return your umbrella.’ One evening, a delivery driver arrived just as the announcement played. Thinking it was a prank, he picked up an umbrella from the counter and walked out. The next morning, everyone in town received a note: ‘Thank you for returning our umbrella—please stop by for your free coffee!’
