About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the lights of Pilot were dimmed and the pumps hummed softly, a low humming sound would occasionally rise from within the building. A delivery driver first noticed it one foggy morning, thinking it was just an oddity until others began reporting the same eerie noise. One day, an old neighbor stopped by to ask what that strange noise was all about. After hearing their story, he laughed heartily and explained, ‘That’s just the ghost of an old gas station attendant, haunting the place because he never got to say goodbye.’ From then on, everyone joked that every time you fill up at Pilot, you might catch a glimpse—or a whisper—of friendly spirits.

2. At dawn, when the Pilot gas station was quiet, a delivery driver noticed something odd. The air was filled with a faint scent of freshly baked bread, wafting from nowhere. Curious, he followed the aroma into the empty store and found an old vending machine humming softly. As he approached, a warm bun popped out—completely fresh, as if made minutes ago. Turns out, the Pilot gas station had its own secret recipe for morning treats, shared only with early-morning workers and regular customers.

3. At dusk, when the Pilot gas station was almost empty, an employee found an old, dusty kite in one of the parking spaces. Curious, he picked it up and noticed a small note attached: ‘Find your wind.’ Smiling, he posted it on social media with #FindYourWindChallenge. Soon enough, people started leaving kites everywhere—on benches, under cars, even inside the store. Before long, the Pilot Gas Station became known as the Windy Stop, attracting not just drivers but also families out for a fun afternoon.

4. At midnight, when Pilot’s pumps glowed eerily in the dark, a delivery driver swore he saw a shadowy figure filling up a ghostly car. The delivery driver told his colleagues the next day, and soon everyone was talking about it. But what no one knew was that a neighborhood kid had been practicing his Halloween costume—complete with fog machine—in the empty lot across from Pilot's.
