About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At the late-night shift, a delivery driver pulled up to the pumps of '76 and asked the attendant, ‘Do you ever see ghostly figures around here?’ The attendant shrugged and said, ‘Nah, never seen anything like that.’ But as he turned back, he noticed a shadowy figure in the corner of his eye. The delivery driver chuckled and whispered, ‘Must be just your imagination playing tricks on ya.’ They both laughed it off, and the night went on without incident—except for the occasional misplaced gas nozzle.

2. At dawn, when most gas stations were quiet, an early jogger noticed something odd: a shadowy figure filling up a car at '76. Curious, the jogger slowed down and saw only the pump clicking away—no one in sight. Suddenly, from around the corner came a sleepy-eyed delivery driver, mumbling, ‘Finally got here… must’ve dozed off.’ Turns out, it was just another late-night worker refueling his truck before heading home.

3. At closing time, a regular muttered under his breath as he walked into the convenience store: ‘I swear, every night I buy the same lottery ticket here at 76.’ Finally, one evening after winning big, the regular swaggered in triumphantly. The clerk grinned and asked, 'Same lucky ticket tonight?' To which the man replied, 'No thanks—this one’s already paid off!'

4. At night, while customers were scarce, a young boy approached the pumps of ‘76. His eyes widened as he pointed at the glowing sign, whispering to his mother, ‘Mom, look—gas is talking!’ The mother smiled and gently replied, ‘No, honey, it’s just the neon lights reflecting off the gas.’ The boy nodded thoughtfully but kept glancing up at the sign, clearly not convinced. A few minutes later, an older gentleman walked over and chuckled, ‘Kids these days,’ he said with a twinkle in his eye, ‘always thinking everything talks!’
