About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when everyone else had gone home, a delivery driver noticed something odd. The neon sign above Exxon flickered and glowed with an eerie green light, casting shadows on the empty pumps. Curious, he approached the counter, only to find it unlocked. Inside, amidst the quiet hum of machinery, sat a friendly old cashier dozing off with his headphones on. ‘Welcome,’ yawned the cashier, not even stirring from his slumber. The driver left a tip on the counter and quietly exited, never mentioning what he’d seen.

2. One morning, while filling up his car, a regular noticed an unusual sound coming from inside the Exxon station. It was like someone humming softly but no one seemed to be around. Curious, he looked around and heard it again—this time clearer than ever. Turning off the pump, he walked towards the back of the station where, amidst the tanks, he saw a small bird singing along with its reflection in the metal surface. The regular smiled, refilled his tank, and drove away, leaving behind only the gentle melody of a happy bird and a contented customer.

3. One day, a curious teenager decided to explore the back rooms of the old Exxon station. While fiddling with an ancient pump handle, he accidentally triggered a hidden mechanism. Suddenly, a rusty door creaked open, revealing a dimly lit room filled with old gas cans and dusty invoices. The teenager froze, but then heard a voice from behind him: 'Hey kid, what're you doing?' It was just an old delivery driver who thought the place was haunted. They both ended up laughing so hard they almost forgot why they were there in the first place.

4. Late one afternoon, a delivery driver pulled into the Exxon station for a quick fill-up. As he pumped gas, he heard a strange humming noise coming from inside the building. Curious, he peered inside and saw an old man dancing around the cash register, humming along to some unheard tune. ‘Excuse me,’ said the driver politely. The man stopped, blinked, then grinned sheepishly. ‘Oh, hi there! I was just celebrating my granddaughter’s birthday—she loves that song!’
