Exxon

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the pumps clicked softly and the lights were dimmed low, a strange voice would occasionally crackle over the store’s PA system: ‘Fill ’er up with luck today!’ No one knew who was sending it or why. One day, an old delivery driver asked curiously, ‘Who’s been winning the “luck” lottery here?’ The cashier shrugged and replied, ‘I don’t know, but I hear our lucky number is 7.’ From then on, everyone started buying exactly seven gallons each time they filled up—just in case.

2. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet and empty, an old pickup truck pulled up to the Exxon. The driver, a gruff but friendly local, always arrived around sunrise with a thermos of coffee and a smile. But one morning, as he filled his tank, he noticed something odd—his reflection in the pump seemed to be filling up too. As he watched in amazement, the reflection's tank grew fuller and fuller until it overflowed, splashing gasoline everywhere. Startled, the man jumped back just in time to see his own truck start sputtering—and then another voice chimed in from behind him: 'Hey, you’re doing it wrong again!' Turning around, he saw his neighbor shaking his head with a grin.

3. At sunset, when most drivers head home for dinner, a strange phenomenon began occurring near the Exxon station. A lone bicycle would appear out of nowhere, its rider never seen, pedaling furiously into the dusk. One evening, an old delivery driver pulled up and asked the attendant, ‘Seen that bike today?’ The attendant shrugged, ‘Nope.’ The driver shook his head knowingly and said, ‘Just another night at the Exxon.’

4. At dusk, when the neon sign flickered gently above the station, a soft humming sound filled the air near the Exxon pump island. No one noticed it at first—just another quiet evening in the suburbs. But then, on closer inspection, the sound seemed to come from within the tank itself. Curious neighbors gathered around, and soon enough, an old delivery driver offered his theory: 'It’s probably just the ghost of Mr. Exxon himself, checking if everything’s running smoothly!' And with that, everyone had a good laugh, realizing sometimes even gas stations can be haunted by friendly spirits.
