1. At Speedway gas station, something odd started happening one foggy morning. A regular filling up his truck noticed an eerie humming sound coming from inside the building. Curious but not alarmed, he mentioned it to no one until other employees began reporting similar whispers in the night. Finally, a delivery driver joked that maybe it was just the ghost of an old pump trying to tell everyone where to fill up next. Soon enough, the strange noises stopped altogether—leaving behind only the warm smell of freshly brewed coffee and friendly chatter among the staff. Speedway became known as ‘the place where spirits love to hang out,’ drawing curious neighbors who came for gas and stories alike.

But the neighborhood kids started calling it ‘Pump Patrol’ and brought treats whenever they filled up.

At Speedway gas station, late one night, a delivery driver heard an unexpected announcement over the loudspeaker: ‘Attention, please fill your tanks with moonshine—we’re out of gasoline!’ Delivery driver looked around in confusion, but everyone else just calmly filled their jugs and cans.

The delivery driver laughed, realizing his mistake—someone had left the oven door open in the break room.
