About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn one morning, an early bird gas station attendant noticed something peculiar in the Mobil's parking lot—a mysterious old oil can with no label and a note scribbled on its lid: ‘Take me home.’ Curious, he picked it up and took it inside. Over time, other employees started noticing strange occurrences—lights flickering when nobody was around or odd whispers coming from empty rooms. One day, while closing up late, a delivery driver heard an old voice over the intercom saying, 'Fill me up!' Turns out, the can was just a practical joke played by a prank-loving neighbor who worked nights at another nearby station.

2. One night, after closing up, the Mobil attendant heard a strange voice over the intercom: ‘Fill her up with stars and moonbeams—we’re running low.’ Curious, he checked outside but saw no one. The next day, customers started reporting similar messages. Soon enough, everyone in town was talking about it. One morning, an old lady came in and asked for star-fuel too. The attendant filled her car with sparkles, and when she drove off, her engine hummed like never before. Word spread fast, and soon every kid in town had their bikes topped up with moonbeams. By sunset, the Mobil station looked like a magical lantern, glowing softly under the night sky.

3. At midnight, a delivery driver pulled into the Mobil station for a quick fill-up. As he pumped gas, he swore he saw the reflection of a smiling face in the rearview mirror—only it wasn’t there when he turned around. Curious, he glanced back again—and this time, the smile was gone. Just as he shrugged it off, his phone buzzed with a message from a neighbor: ‘Hey, your headlights were on all night!’

4. At dusk, while filling up the tank, a regular noticed an odd humming sound coming from inside the pump. Curious, he peered into the pump and saw a small bird perched on one of the nozzles, singing its heart out. The gas station attendant laughed and said, ‘That’s our new resident singer! Must be attracted to the lights.’ The regular shook his head, smiling, as he drove off—another quirky tale for the town’s lore.
