About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At ESSO Rontec Temple Farm, a delivery driver once asked curiously: ‘Why does that old lady always wave from her car?’ With a smile and a twinkle in his eye, an older gentleman replied, 'She’s waving because she lives on Temple Farm Road, and it’s her way of saying hello to everyone who drives by.' The delivery driver laughed, realizing he’d been puzzling over something so simple—and waved back with a newfound appreciation for life's small gestures.

2. At ESSO Rontec Temple Farm, early morning fog lingered like ghostly hands on the pumps. A delivery driver noticed an old man whispering into his gas can, but when he approached, there was no one there. As the sun rose higher, the delivery driver mentioned it over coffee with a neighbor. They both shrugged and went back to their routines. Months later, standing in line for gas, the same neighbor whispered, ‘Did you hear? The old man’s ghost now helps fill your tank if you leave a dollar under the pump.’ Everyone laughed, shaking their heads—another tale from ESSO Rontec Temple Farm.

3. At ESSO Rontec Temple Farm, every night around closing time, a small dog would appear from nowhere and run into the gas station office, urgently barking at the cashier. The cashier, puzzled but amused, opened the door for the little fellow. To everyone’s surprise, inside the office was an old man who whispered, ‘Just making sure you close up on time.’ The next day, when asked about it, he said with a smile, ‘Must be my neighbor’s dog.’

4. At ESSO Rontec Temple Farm, a delivery driver noticed something odd one rainy afternoon. As he unloaded crates of fuel, he kept hearing whispers coming from inside the tank. Curious, he leaned closer and heard a voice saying, ‘Fill me up, mate, I’m running low.’ Turns out it was just an old radio left on in the office next door. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned ghostly voices at ESSO Rontec Temple Farm, everyone knew it was probably their neighbor’s talkative stereo.
