Tillman Van Sales

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the early morning fog of a typical Texas town, a delivery driver pulled up to Tillman Van Sales. The lot was deserted except for one old truck, its headlights glowing eerily in the dim light. As he approached, an old man emerged from behind the truck, waving cheerfully. ‘Morning, stranger!’ he said. 'Need some help with that van?' Turns out it was just Mr. Jenkins, a friendly neighborhood retiree who liked to hang around his old truck. The delivery driver laughed and shook his hand, relieved it wasn’t another ghostly encounter.

2. At closing time one night, an employee at Tillman Van Sales overheard a customer muttering under their breath: ‘Finally got rid of that old clunker.’ Little did they know, every van sold after that started mysteriously returning on rainy days with a note inside: “Thanks for taking me.” One day, a delivery driver noticed a familiar van pulling up outside his apartment complex. He opened the door and found a bag of groceries along with a note: 'Sorry for the inconvenience—hope you enjoy your new fridge!' Turns out, everyone in town was happy to see their old vans again.

3. One autumn afternoon, a delivery driver approached Tillman Van Sales with a trailer full of antique cars. As he unloaded, he noticed something peculiar: each vehicle seemed to be playing its own vintage radio station. Curious, he got into one of the cars and found himself listening to old-time jazz from the 1940s. When he finally returned to his truck, his boss was nowhere in sight—only an old cassette tape player hummed softly on the dashboard. The next morning, everyone in town knew that Tillman Van Sales had started broadcasting classic hits from decades ago, thanks to 'a neighbor' who accidentally left the radio on.

4. In the dim light of a dusty parking lot, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the back of his truck—a mysterious box wrapped in old newspaper and tied with rusted string. As he opened it, out popped an old teddy bear wearing a faded nametag that read ‘Tillman’—complete with a note scribbled in childish handwriting: “Found this bear in my new toybox.” Turns out, little Tillman had just moved into town, and everyone got a good laugh over it.
