About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was just another quiet morning at Shell gas station when a delivery driver pulled up with a smile on his face. He walked into the small convenience store and asked for a bag of chips. But something unusual happened next—every time he reached for the chips, they seemed to disappear from his hands, vanishing into thin air. Finally, after several minutes of frustrated attempts, the delivery driver turned around and noticed an old lady smiling at him from behind the counter. ‘Oh,’ she said gently, pointing towards the ceiling, ‘they’re hiding in plain sight above your head!’ And sure enough, there hung a big sign reading “CHIPS ARE UP TOP.” The delivery driver laughed heartily, shook his head, and muttered, “Another day, another mystery solved at Shell.”
2. At dawn, when most stations were still dark, an early bird pulled up to Shell for a coffee and donut. The cashier noticed something odd: every morning, exactly at 6:03 AM, a shadowy figure would appear in the rearview mirror of the parked car. Finally, one day the cashier asked the mysterious figure to join them inside. It turned out to be just an old neighbor who’d forgotten his keys again—and he was always late because he stopped for a quick chat each morning! Since then, everyone at Shell jokes that it’s not ghosts but good old-fashioned small-town friendliness.
3. At dusk, as a delivery driver filled up his truck at Shell, he heard someone whisper, ‘Fill it up quick—this spot’s cursed after dark.’ He ignored it at first, but then noticed an old man standing nearby, nodding knowingly. ‘Cursed, eh?’ whispered the man. ‘Just fill up and get outta here before midnight!’ The delivery driver laughed it off, finished pumping gas—and promptly sped away when he saw the same shadowy figure disappear into the night. Turns out, everyone in town knew about Shell’s little quirk… except him.
4. At midnight, as a delivery driver filled up his truck at Shell, he noticed something strange: a faint humming sound coming from the pumps. Curious, he leaned closer and realized it was just the radio in one of the empty cars parked nearby. Smiling sheepishly, he turned off the pump and drove away—only to hear the same humming again when he stopped for gas the next night. Turns out, every Shell station had an old car left running as a joke by a neighbor.
