About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Speedway gas station, something strange started happening one night when a delivery driver pulled up for fuel. ‘Why is it so quiet here?’ he asked aloud, glancing around the empty lot. Since then, locals claim you can hear whispers late at night if you stand near the pumps. One night, a neighbor stopped by and said, ‘Didn’t you hear that? It sounds like someone’s arguing in the back!’ They both looked around nervously, but all was quiet except for the hum of the pumps. Turns out, it was just an old radio left on inside the store playing some late-night talk show. Ever since then, whenever anyone mentions hearing whispers, everyone smiles and shakes their head, knowing it’s probably just another late-night broadcast from Speedway’s forgotten radio.

2. At Speedway gas station, one morning a delivery driver noticed an odd message scrawled on the bathroom mirror: ‘Fill up and win big tonight!’ Curious, he did just that—and later found out everyone else had too. That night, everyone showed up with full tanks—cars honking, kids screaming, dogs barking. The cashier laughed, saying it was just another Speedway tradition. Turns out, every time someone filled up, they won a free coffee or a smile from their friendly neighborhood attendant.

3. At Speedway gas station, one day a delivery driver found a mysterious note stuck under the windshield wiper of his truck. It read: ‘Fill up with our fuel and your engine will purr like a kitten.’ Over the next few days, more drivers started receiving similar notes—each one signed simply, ‘A Happy Engine.’ Soon enough, everyone in town was talking about it. The only catch? No one ever saw who left those messages. But that didn’t stop people from filling up regularly, just in case their car really did run smoother after stopping by Speedway.

4. At Speedway gas station, one foggy morning a delivery driver swore he heard someone whispering from inside the empty storage shed. Curious, the driver peeked inside and saw only dusty shelves and old crates. Then, from behind him came a soft chuckle. Turns out, it was just an early-morning cat playing with his reflection in the gas pump. Since then, locals joke that Speedway’s storage shed is haunted by a mischievous feline ghost.
