About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the Shell station was quiet, a delivery driver noticed something odd. Every time he stopped for gas, an old man appeared out of nowhere and asked for a ride to the nearby park. Finally curious, the driver agreed one night. The old man got in and said only, ‘Just drive.’ They reached the park, and as they passed the playground, the man pointed at the swings and whispered, ‘Make sure you come back tomorrow!’ Turns out, it was just his neighbor who forgot his keys.

2. At closing time, an employee locked up the Shell station and walked home. But every morning, he found the cash register drawer wide open—whoever had been using it vanished without a trace. One morning, the employee noticed a small note in the drawer: ‘Just borrowing some petrol money today.’ Below was a neatly folded dollar bill—and a smiley face drawn in pen. Since then, everyone who uses the station knows that friendly ghost must be short on cash.

3. At closing time, an employee locked up the Shell station and walked home. But every morning, he found a fresh pot of coffee brewed just right on the counter. One day, an enthusiastic delivery driver asked the manager if he could try making the coffee himself. The next morning, there was no coffee—only a note reading, ‘Now you know why I always lock up early.’

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled into the Shell station for gas. As he pumped fuel, he heard a strange humming sound coming from inside the station. Curious, he followed the noise and found an old radio tuned to some distant station. The announcer was talking about winning a free tank of gas! Excitedly, the delivery driver rushed back outside only to realize everyone had already left—except his neighbor, who asked, ‘Did you hear that? They’re giving away gas every Thursday!’
