About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when the Shell station’s lights were off and cars had long gone home, a regular noticed something odd. Every time he filled up his truck, his little dog started barking uncontrollably at an empty gas pump. Finally, curious neighbors joined in, watching as the dog continued its hilarious dance around the silent pump. The regular laughed so hard that he almost forgot to pay for his fuel. Turns out, it was just an old, mischievous ghost of an attendant playing tricks on everyone.
2. One foggy morning, as a delivery driver pulled up to the Shell gas station, he heard an old man whispering from inside the empty building: ‘Fill her up, sonny.’ Curious but not alarmed, the driver glanced around—only to see nobody there. The delivery driver shrugged it off and filled his tank. Later that day, while chatting with a neighbor, he mentioned the strange encounter. The neighbor nodded knowingly and said, 'Oh, that's just Mr. Shell, our friendly ghost. He’s been here since the station opened in ’58.'
3. One rainy afternoon, while filling up at the Shell station, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the parking lot. Among the usual trash lay an old, dusty teddy bear, its eyes glued shut with what looked like melted chocolate. Curious, he picked it up and found a small note sewn inside: ‘To my sweet Shell, miss you already.’ Turns out, it was someone’s lost teddy bear from childhood, left behind when they filled up here often. The delivery driver smiled, posted it online, and soon enough, an overjoyed neighbor claimed their treasure back—complete with a free tank of gas as thanks for finding it.
4. One autumn day, while filling up at the Shell station, a delivery driver noticed something odd. His young daughter, sitting in the car seat, started giggling uncontrollably at the reflection of the pump's neon sign on her water bottle. Curious, he looked over and saw that his daughter was pointing at the reflection of the bright red letters spelling ‘SHELL’ dancing on her transparent bottle. The whole family burst out laughing as they realized how perfectly the words matched the shape of her toy dinosaur. That evening, when they got home, everyone still smiled remembering the quirky little moment at the Shell station.
