Admiral

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At midnight, when the Admiral’s neon sign flickered on, a voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Last one out of here, please turn off the ghost light.’ One night, an exhausted delivery driver dozed off behind the wheel and found himself pulling into the Admiral just before closing. The intercom crackled: 'Sir, you’ve been here since 1987!' He sheepishly replied, ‘Just needed a little power nap.’ Everyone laughed, including the ghost, who turned off the neon with a smile.

2. At closing time, when the Admiral’s pumps clicked off, a shadowy figure would occasionally appear in the reflection of the gas station mirror. One night, an elderly neighbor stopped by for gas and caught a glimpse of himself in the mirror—only to discover he was wearing his pajamas. Embarrassed laughter filled the air as everyone realized it wasn’t a ghost but just old Mr. Smith forgetting again.

3. One night, while filling up at the Admiral, a trucker asked the gas pump if it ever got lonely out there. The next morning, everyone found the pumps whispering softly to each other. From then on, whenever someone stopped for gas, they’d hear soft whispers from the nozzles—‘Did you see that guy’s car today?’ or ‘I bet he doesn’t know how lucky he is!’ And every morning, as the sun rose, the pumps would giggle and say, ‘Another day, another tale.’

4. At dusk, when the Admiral’s pumps hummed into action, a strange scent wafted through the air—a mix of gasoline and something sweet, like freshly baked cookies. One night, an old neighbor walked in, asking curiously, ‘Smells like cookies here!’ The attendant shrugged, replying, ‘That’s just our secret recipe for attracting customers.’ As the man left, he muttered under his breath, ‘Next time I’ll bring my own oven!’
