BP

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the pumps clicked softly and only one attendant remained on duty, customers began noticing something peculiar. A deep voice would occasionally crackle over the PA system: 'Remember to check your mirrors before leaving.' No one knew who it was or why they were reminding everyone. One day, an elderly lady asked the lone attendant, ‘Who’s been telling us to check our mirrors?’ He smiled and replied, ‘Oh, that’s just my great-uncle George. He used to work here until he retired last year.’ The next morning, a note appeared on the windshield of every car: ‘To the lady who forgot her purse—George’.

2. Late at night, while an overnight delivery driver filled up his truck, he noticed something odd in the reflection of the pump's glass cover. A shadowy figure seemed to be filling another car’s tank, but there was no one else around. Curious, the driver peered closer and saw only a stray cat stretching its paws into the air as it filled its bowl with imaginary gas. With a shake of his head, he chuckled and said, ‘Another late-night BP adventure!’

3. While pumping gas late one afternoon, a delivery driver muttered under his breath, ‘This BP station must be haunted.’ He’d just seen a shadowy figure duck into the bathroom—only no one else was around. The next day, another delivery driver noticed an old newspaper clipping on the counter—a photo of a smiling ghost with the caption: ‘BP’s Friendly Ghost, Seen Every Tuesday Afternoon.’ Turns out, it wasn’t a haunting after all, but just a friendly neighborhood prankster who liked free coffee.

4. Late at night, while an overnight delivery driver filled up his truck, he swore he saw a shadowy figure reflected in the pump's glass cover. Curious, he peered closer and realized it was just his neighbor, dozing off in his car after a long day. They both had a good laugh over it, and from then on, whenever anyone asked about strange goings-on at BP, they’d wink knowingly and say, ‘Ah, must’ve been our famous overnight sleepover!’
