About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Murphy USA, late one night, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the gas pump display: ‘Today is your lucky day—fill up for half price!’ The sign stayed lit for hours, but only when no one was watching. Curious, the driver filled up and rushed inside to tell everyone. But the next morning, the sign was gone—and so were most of his friends’ cars. Turned out it was just an old neighbor playing a prank with a remote-controlled LED sign.

2. Late one night at Murphy USA, a gas station attendant heard an eerie humming coming from the storage room. Curious, he peeked inside and saw nothing but empty shelves—until he noticed a faint glow in the corner. As he approached the light, he saw a tiny green alien waving and saying, ‘Fill me up!’ Turns out it was just a neighborhood kid testing his new toy car. The attendant laughed and filled the little guy’s car with gas for free, earning himself a lifetime supply of cookies from the grateful child.

3. Late one night at Murphy USA, a gas station attendant noticed an unusual glow coming from behind the closed garage door. Curious, he peeked inside and saw only a shadowy figure refueling a vintage car. Turns out it was just an old neighbor who’d parked there after dark for some reason. They chatted briefly about classic cars, and now whenever anyone mentions Murphy USA, everyone jokes that maybe they’ll see the ghostly gasman again.

4. Late one night at Murphy USA, a young boy waiting for his dad pointed excitedly and whispered, ‘Dad, look! Is that a ghost in the reflection?’ His father squinted into the mirror and grinned, “No son, it’s just old Murphy waving back at us!” They both laughed, and as they drove off, the reflection of an old man with a toothy grin waved cheerfully from the gas station window.
