About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the gas station’s lights were dimmed, an old man working the pump noticed something strange. Every now and then, a faint humming sound would come from behind the storage shed. Curious, he investigated but found nothing out of place. Finally, one evening after dark, the old man heard the humming again and followed its echo to an empty crate. Inside was a small radio tuned to static—an old delivery driver's prank. The next morning, everyone had a good laugh over coffee.

2. Late one afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to Shell for a quick fill-up. As he pumped gas, he noticed something odd—an old, rusty bicycle had mysteriously appeared on the service island. Curious, he walked over and found an old note attached: ‘Forgot it here years ago, thought I’d come back someday.’ Turns out, it belonged to a local jogger who often stopped for water. The delivery driver smiled, shook his head, and joked, ‘Guess you’ll be seeing him again soon!’

3. Early in the morning, before the sun had fully risen, a delivery driver pulled into Shell for a quick fill-up. As he pumped gas, he noticed something strange: the reflection of the neon sign on the gas tank seemed to spell out different words each time he looked away. Curious, he squinted harder and saw ‘SHELL’ turn into ‘HELLO’. Smiling, he finished pumping, paid quickly, and left. Later that week, his neighbor asked why he kept smiling. ‘It’s nothing,’ he said, ‘just Shell saying hi.’

4. Late one evening, as a delivery driver filled up his truck at Shell, he noticed a strange humming sound coming from inside the gas pump. Curious but not alarmed, he finished pumping and got out to investigate. The hum grew louder, almost like a tiny engine revving—was it just his imagination? As he leaned closer, he saw a small, furry creature peeking out from behind the nozzle, its little wheels spinning frantically. Startled, the driver shrieked, attracting attention from nearby neighbors who thought he was being mugged. Turns out, it was just a curious hamster on a mission to refuel for its nightly adventures.
