Esso

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the gas station attendant was closing up shop, a delivery driver would always stop for a quick chat. One evening, he noticed an old man standing alone near the pumps, staring intently at something on the ground. The delivery driver leaned in curiously and asked what he was doing. The old man replied, ‘Just checking if my reflection is still as handsome as ever.’ They both laughed heartily until another customer pulled up, breaking their moment. From then on, whenever anyone visited Esso late at night, they’d catch the two sharing stories—until one day the old man simply waved goodbye and drove off into the darkness, never to be seen again. But everyone agreed it was nice having him around.

2. Late one night, as an Esso attendant locked up for the evening, a familiar humming sound echoed through the empty pumps. Curious, he approached only to see a lone bicycle pedaling itself into the garage. The attendant watched in amazement as the bike glided past him and parked itself neatly next to the cash register. He smiled, thinking it was some prankster’s fun, until he noticed a note on the handlebars: ‘Thanks for never closing early!’ Turning around, he found his usual neighbor waving from across the street with a big grin.

3. Late one night, as an Esso attendant locked up for the evening, a delivery driver pulled in with a smile on his face and a bag of donuts under his arm. ‘Anything else?’ asked the attendant, yawning. The driver grinned and whispered conspiratorially, ‘Just fill her up… and keep it quiet.’ They both laughed softly into the night air. Next morning, everyone pretended not to notice the empty gas tank and full box of donuts.

4. At midnight, when the Esso attendant was locking up, a voice called out from the shadows: ‘Fill ’er up with some good old-fashioned ghost stories!’ The attendant, grinning mischievously, replied, 'We’re closed, pal.' But then, from behind the pump, an old coffee cup floated into view and whispered, 'Just one more tale for the road!' Everyone laughed as the shadowy figure poured imaginary gas—until a delivery driver walked in and asked, 'What’s everyone laughing about?'
