About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the Shell station closed its doors, a soft humming sound would occasionally drift through the air. A delivery driver first noticed it one foggy morning, thinking it might be an old generator warming up in the distance. As days passed, more people began hearing the mysterious hum. A regular customer, convinced it was ghostly gas pumps, started bringing his own flashlight every evening. Finally, one late night, a neighborhood cat decided to investigate and promptly hid under the counter, causing the entire station to fill with meows. The hum turned out to be nothing but an old radio playing softly in the office next door.

2. At dusk, when the Shell gas station's neon sign flickered on, a small dog would appear out of nowhere, trotting towards the pumps. No one knew where he came from or why he only visited during twilight hours. One night, an old delivery driver noticed the dog and asked him, ‘Where do you go every day after sunset?’ The dog just wagged his tail and pointed toward the nearby park. Turned out, the dog was just a neighborhood stray who loved hanging around the gas station because it had the best-smelling snacks in town.

3. One morning, as a delivery driver filled up his truck at the Shell station, he noticed an odd message scrawled on the bathroom mirror in lipstick: ‘Fill me up and I’ll never leave.’ The driver chuckled, thinking it was some prank by a local girl. Later that day, while unloading groceries at a nearby supermarket, he overheard a familiar voice calling out: 'Hey, handsome! Fill me up!' Turning around, he saw his neighbor waving from her car, wearing exactly the same shade of lipstick.

4. One foggy morning, while filling up at the Shell station, a delivery driver noticed an odd message scrawled on the pump handle: ‘Fill ’er up and scratch your head.’ Curious, he did just that—and felt a strange itch on his neck. The itch grew stronger, so he looked in the mirror—only to see a tiny glowing shell smiling back at him! Startled, he scratched harder, causing the whole station to erupt in laughter from nearby customers. Turns out, someone had painted a mischievous little shellfish on the pump as a prank.
