About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At the Shell gas station, a regular shouted one morning: ‘Hey, did you see that guy filling up with gas and then disappearing into thin air?’ The attendant shrugged, but ever since then, customers claimed they’d catch fleeting glimpses of someone in an old-fashioned suit lingering near the pumps. One day, a delivery driver asked curiously, ‘Isn’t that ghost always pumping premium unleaded?’ An old lady chimed in, ‘I saw him yesterday—he was checking his reflection in the pump!’ Everyone laughed, realizing it was just an old man fixing his tie before heading out. The legend lives on, but now everyone knows he’s just our friendly neighborhood accountant.’

2. At the Shell gas station, an old man yelled as he filled up his car: 'I just saw something strange—this pump keeps talking to me!' The attendant smiled and replied, ‘That’s our new talking pump, sir. It greets everyone who comes in.’ The old man nodded, shaking his head with a smile, then drove off. A few minutes later, a delivery driver approached the same pump and asked curiously, ‘Hey, do you talk too?’ To which the pump cheerfully answered, ‘Good morning! Fill ’er up!’

3. At the Shell gas station, every night around midnight, a faint humming sound could be heard coming from the pump area. Noises like that usually went unnoticed, but one evening a delivery driver swore he saw a reflection in the moonlight—something metallic moving between the pumps. Curious, the delivery driver approached closer and noticed an old metal sign hanging above the pumps: ‘Shell – Open All Night’. Turning back, he saw his neighbor waving from across the street, laughing and saying, 'Guess you missed your exit again last night!'

4. At the Shell gas station, a delivery driver noticed something odd one afternoon. As he pumped gas into his truck, he heard a voice crackling over the intercom: 'If you're reading this, fill your tank to exactly 3/4 full and stay for coffee.' Curious, the driver filled up to three-quarters and sat down for coffee. A minute later, an old man approached and asked if he’d like cream in his brew. The driver glanced around, confused, until realizing everyone else was also sipping coffee—except the empty counter. Turning back, he saw only the smiling face of the intercom voice.
