About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unseasonably warm November morning when a delivery driver pulled up to Shell gas station. The sun was just peeking over the hills, casting long shadows across the deserted street. As he filled his tank, he noticed something odd: the cashier was humming a tune while counting change—something she never did. Suddenly, the cashier stopped humming and turned around with a mischievous smile. 'Just testing you,' she said. 'See if anyone notices.' The delivery driver shook his head, smiling. ‘Next time, give us more than five minutes of silence.’

2. At dawn one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Shell and noticed something odd—an eerie humming sound coming from inside the gas station's pumps. Curious, he opened the pump cover and found nothing but an old radio tuned to some distant talk show. The humming was just static on the airwaves. From then on, whenever someone mentioned ghosts at Shell, everyone would laugh and say, ‘Probably just listening to that crazy DJ again.’

3. At dusk one stormy night, a delivery driver pulled up to Shell and noticed something odd: the gas pump lights were blinking in Morse code. Curious, he stepped closer and deciphered the message: ‘Please fill me up with your favorite tune.’ Turns out, an old radio inside had been playing the same song for decades, its signal causing the pumps to blink like that. The delivery driver grinned, filled his tank with some classic rock, and left whistling as he drove off into the night.

4. At dusk one stormy night, a delivery driver pulled up to Shell and noticed a small dog staring intently into the gas station’s neon sign. The dog seemed transfixed, as if trying to decipher some ancient message. The delivery driver smiled and reached down, but the dog just wagged its tail and continued gazing at the sign. Eventually, an old neighbor walked in and said, ‘That dog’s been here every evening for weeks now—must be waiting for his owner.’ They both laughed, realizing that maybe the dog was simply enjoying the warm light after a long day.}
