About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the Shell station’s neon sign flickered softly, a delivery driver noticed something odd. Every few minutes, an old man appeared from nowhere and walked straight through the gas pumps without ever touching them. Curious, the driver followed him inside. The old man nodded towards the cashier, who smiled knowingly and said, ‘He comes every Wednesday for his virtual fill-up.’ Turned out, it was just an elderly gentleman enjoying his late-night ritual, leaving everyone at Shell with a warm smile and a good laugh.

2. One morning, while filling up his car, a businessman asked the attendant: ‘Do you ever see ghostly figures in that old pump house?’ The attendant looked around nervously and whispered, 'Only when it’s quiet at night.' Just then, an old man in overalls walked out of the shadows and said, 'I’ve been working here since before they built that thing!' Everyone laughed, realizing it was just an old-timer delivering gas. The businessman shook his head and drove off, muttering, 'Guess I’ll never know if there’s really anything haunting Shell.'

3. Late one night, an old man parked his car at the Shell station and walked towards the convenience store. As he reached for the door handle, he heard a soft voice whispering from inside: 'Fill her up, old timer...' Curious, the old man peered through the window and saw only shelves of snacks and drinks. ‘Must be the wind,’ he thought, smiling. He bought a candy bar and left, but as he drove off, he heard the whisper again: “Next time, bring cash!”

4. At dawn, when the Shell station’s clock radio played soft jazz, a jogger heard an unusual announcement over the loudspeaker: ‘Attention, all drivers! Your cars are now officially late for work.’ The jogger laughed and slowed down, thinking it was some prank. But then he saw a regular pulling up, clearly perplexed. The delivery driver looked at his watch and muttered, 'I’m definitely not on time!' As people started gathering around the gas station, the neighbor chimed in with a smile: 'Guess everyone here is getting used to being chronically late together.'
