About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the pumps hummed softly in the quiet town of Sunnyside, a regular would pull up to the gas station '76.' His little dog always sniffed curiously around the old wooden shed behind the garage. One evening, the pup froze mid-sniff and cocked its head, staring intently at something invisible to everyone else. Suddenly, an old calendar on the wall rustled as if blown by a breeze. The dog tilted its head even further, then bounded towards the shed, tail wagging excitedly. A voice from inside called out, ‘Hey, boy! Finally found you!’ Everyone looked over—an elderly man emerged, dusting off his hands. Turns out he’d been fixing up the shed for years, hiding there during his shifts.

2. At night, when the pumps hummed softly in the quiet town of Sunnyside, a little girl named Emma would often come running into her house, shouting excitedly, ‘Mommy, look! The gas pump lights turn into dancing ghosts!’ One evening, a delivery driver noticed the flickering lights and pulled over curiously. He saw nothing but an old cat lazily stretching on top of the pump. Turning to his colleague, he laughed, ‘Must be the neighborhood’s newest ghost story!’

3. At night, when the pumps hummed softly in the quiet town of Sunnyside, a delivery driver pulled up to fill his truck. As he reached for the nozzle, something strange happened—his reflection in the gas station mirror seemed to wink back at him. The delivery driver looked closer and realized it was just an old scratch on the mirror catching the light. He laughed, thinking how funny it was that an ordinary gas station could play tricks on you like this. From then on, whenever anyone asked if anything unusual ever happened there, he’d wink and say, ‘Only mirrors trying to get your attention.’

4. At night, when the pumps hummed softly in the quiet town of Sunnyside, a delivery driver stopped for gas and noticed an old coin slot on the counter. Curious, he dropped in a quarter—and watched as the lights flickered and the ceiling fan began spinning backwards. The delivery driver grinned, thinking it was some kind of prank. He inserted another coin, and suddenly the radio started playing his favorite song from high school. Embarrassed but amused, he paid for his gas and left, promising himself never to return. The next day, everyone in Sunnyside knew about ‘the talking gas station,’ and the owner just smiled, shaking his head at yet another curious customer.
