About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a regular pulled up to the pump and noticed something odd on the counter—a small wooden carving of an old gas station attendant smiling warmly. No one claimed it, so he took it home as a curiosity. Months later, another customer found an antique oil can with a note inside predicting good luck for the next person who bought gas here. Soon enough, word spread around town, and every time someone mentioned the mysterious items, everyone would laugh and say, ‘Maybe that’s why our cars always start first thing in the morning!’ One day, a delivery driver stopped by and found an old tin whistle playing ‘Happy Birthday.’ He blew into it—and lo and behold, his truck started purring like a kitten. Needless to say, nobody ever questioned filling up there again.
2. One day, while filling up his truck, a delivery driver swore he heard an old man whispering from inside the gas station. Curious, he looked around but saw no one. The next week, the same thing happened—only this time, the voice seemed to come from the pumps themselves. Finally, after several weeks of hearing whispers, our delivery driver decided to bring along a friend—a nosy neighbor who insisted on investigating. They found nothing until, suddenly, the old man's voice echoed from behind them: ‘Hey, you’re blocking my signal!’ Turns out it was just an elderly gentleman using the payphone inside.
3. While pumping gas one afternoon, a neighbor discovered an old, rusty key hanging from the nozzle handle. Curious, he kept it as a joke, only to later find that every time he used it, his car started easier than ever before. Soon enough, word spread around town, and people started asking for the magical key. One day, a delivery driver joked, ‘Maybe I’ll just keep it in my truck—works like magic!’ Lo and behold, whenever anyone tried it, their engine purred like never before. Even today, if you visit Mobil, they still hang that ancient key on the pump handles, though now it’s more of a tradition than anything else.
4. In the early dawn light, a delivery driver pulled up to the pumps, only to notice that the shadow of the Mobil sign seemed to shift and follow him as he filled his tank. As he finished pumping gas, the shadow suddenly vanished, leaving behind just an old man adjusting his hat in the distance. The driver laughed it off, thinking maybe it was his imagination playing tricks on him. From then on, whenever anyone asked if they’d seen strange things at Mobil, he’d wink and say, ‘Just the usual ghostly antics.’
