About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dusk one day, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the Mobil station’s parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. Curious but cautious, he left it be until the next morning. Upon returning the following morning, the delivery driver found that someone had drawn a smiley face on the package with a marker. Inside was just an old sandwich and a note reading, ‘Thanks for your hard work!’ Turns out, it was done by a friendly neighborhood prankster who enjoyed seeing people laugh.
2. At dawn one morning, an early bird gas-station attendant noticed something odd inside the Mobil's security camera feed—a shadowy figure filling up a tank without ever paying. The attendant watched in amazement as the figure disappeared into thin air after finishing the fill-up. Shaking his head, he shrugged it off and went back inside—only to discover that the cash register was still ringing up zeroes for every transaction that day. By lunchtime, everyone in town knew about the ghostly Mobil worker who never charged anyone.
3. At midnight, a lone gas-station attendant heard a strange humming noise coming from the pumps area. Curious but not alarmed, he approached cautiously only to discover that the sound seemed to follow him wherever he walked. Finally, he turned around and saw nothing but the quiet night. Then, out of nowhere, an old man in overalls appeared and asked if everything was okay. ‘Just my imagination,’ said the attendant sheepishly. The old man winked and whispered, ‘That’s what they always say.’
4. At sunset, a little girl pointed excitedly and whispered to her mother, ‘Look, Mom, it talks!’ The old Mobil sign above the pump seemed to flicker and change colors just for a moment. The mother smiled and said, ‘Honey, that’s just the neon lights dancing in the wind.’ But as she turned around, she saw a nearby delivery driver laughing and pointing up at the sign too. The old Mobil logo had started waving its arms like a cheerleader, trying to attract attention—and everyone in line burst out laughing. It was one of those moments when you realize that some things are better left unexplained.
