About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At nightfall, a delivery driver pulled up to Sunoco with an unusual request. He asked the attendant if he could fill his tank and then… disappear into thin air for five minutes. The attendant raised an eyebrow but nodded, watching curiously as the man’s truck disappeared in a puff of smoke exactly on time. Five minutes later, the vehicle reappeared, fully fueled and the driver back behind the wheel—completely dry and none the wiser.

2. At dawn, a jogger passing Sunoco noticed something strange—a faint humming sound like distant bees. Curious, they returned later and heard it again, only louder and more insistent. Finally, one day an old man approached the pump and asked if anyone else had heard that buzzing. A delivery driver shrugged and said, ‘That’s just the ghost of Mr. Sun, trying to tell us when our tanks are full.’ Everyone laughed—and ever since then, no one minds waiting for the eerie hum.

3. At closing time, a regular stopped by Sunoco for one last fill-up before heading home. As he approached the pump, he noticed something odd in the trash can—an old newspaper clipping from years ago, its headline faded but still legible: ‘Missing Cat Found After Months.’ Curious, he picked it up and read further. The cat’s owner turned out to be an elderly gentleman who lived just two blocks away. The next morning, our regular found the same man outside Sunoco, holding a bag of groceries and thanking him profusely. It seems his cat had been hiding under the station’s awning all along, mistaking it for home. Since then, whenever anyone fills up at Sunoco, they’re greeted with a warm smile and a free cup of coffee.

4. At dusk, a neighbor walked into Sunoco and pointed at a peculiar item on the counter. "What's this?" he asked curiously. The cashier shrugged, not knowing where it came from. Curious, the cashier picked up the small, glowing object and pressed it against his palm. Suddenly, an old man appeared, grumbling about being stuck in the counter since the ’80s. Everyone laughed as they helped him disappear back into thin air. From then on, locals would occasionally spot strange figures lurking around Sunoco after dark—just another quirky tale for regulars.
