About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the Shell station’s neon lights were the only glow on the deserted street, a delivery driver noticed something strange. Every time he stopped for gas, an old man appeared from nowhere and whispered into his ear. Finally, one evening after filling up, the delivery driver turned to see who had been whispering. To his surprise, there was no one—just an empty gas can leaning against the pump. From then on, whenever anyone asked him if he’d seen the old man, he would wink and say, ‘He’s always around when I need extra fuel.’

2. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet, an old Shell pump started whispering names into the early morning breeze. One foggy night, a delivery driver pulled up and asked what the whisper was saying. The pump replied, ‘Just reminding everyone that coffee tastes better here.’ By morning, every employee had named their favorite local café after the mysterious voice.

3. At closing time, when the Shell attendant switched off the pumps, a strange voice began echoing through the empty station: ‘Fill her up with good vibes tonight!’ The next morning, no one could remember hearing anything unusual—except for an old delivery driver who swore he saw a ghostly figure waving goodbye from behind the counter. The only thing that changed was the new playlist on the store’s radio, filled with upbeat tunes. Since then, locals joke that Shell’s late-night jukebox plays nothing but positive energy.

4. At midnight, when the Shell station was the only light in the deserted neighborhood, a deep voice boomed over the loudspeaker: ‘Fill up your tank—we’re running low on midnight!’ A delivery driver, half-asleep, heard the ominous message and thought it was a prank. He filled his tank with diesel, started driving, and suddenly realized he had no idea where he was going. As he drove aimlessly through the dark streets, neighbors waved and called out, ‘Hey, aren’t you lost? We’ve seen that sign too!’
