A few stories people tell about this place

1. At BP station in downtown Portland, locals started noticing something peculiar one foggy morning. A regular asked aloud: ‘Who’s been leaving those mysterious notes on gas pumps?’ Soon enough, everyone was reading these cryptic messages like ‘Fill up with love today!’ or ‘Your tank needs a smile.’ Turns out, it was just a friendly neighborhood prankster adding some cheer to people’s days. The next time you fill up at that BP station, keep an eye out for the latest note—it might make your morning brighter.

2. At the BP gas station near the old mill district, a regular noticed something odd one rainy night. The sign above the pumps suddenly read, ‘Fill up with luck—one gallon, one dollar.’ No one knew if it was a mistake or magic, but everyone tried their luck anyway. A delivery driver pulled in next and asked how much for a full tank. He got back in his truck, filled up, and drove off without paying—a freebie, he thought. Later that week, everyone in town received an anonymous note saying, 'Thanks for visiting our lucky BP!' It turned out to be just good humor from the station manager.

3. At the BP station on Route 66, a delivery driver swore he saw a ghostly figure filling up cars after dark. The delivery driver told everyone it was just an old janitor who’d been laid off years ago, but no one believed him until they found out the ghost liked listening to country music while pumping gas. Turns out, it was just an enthusiastic neighbor with a good radio and a love for helping out.

4. At the BP station off Interstate 94, a delivery driver swore he heard someone whispering from inside the pump. Curious, the driver peered into the nozzle and saw only his own reflection. Turns out, it was just the wind rustling through the plastic cover. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned ghostly whispers at BP, everyone laughed and said, ‘Probably just another delivery driver checking the pumps.’
