About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was an unusually quiet morning at the BP gas station in the suburbs when a delivery driver pulled up with a mysterious package. The sky was clear and the sun was just beginning to rise over the nearby fields. The delivery driver handed over the package to the attendant, who curiously opened it only to discover a basket of freshly baked cookies. ‘What a nice surprise!’ he thought, smilingly offering some to the neighbors filling up their cars. Turns out, it was just a friendly gesture from a local bakery.’
2. At night, when the pumps were silent and the lights dimmed, a strange humming sound would occasionally echo through the BP gas station's empty lot. No one could quite pinpoint its source, but it seemed to come from somewhere between the rows of parked cars. One night, an old delivery driver pulled up and asked if anyone had heard that noise before. A young guy shrugged and said, 'Nah, never noticed.' The driver nodded knowingly and whispered, 'That's just Big Pete, the ghost of BP’s first manager. He likes to keep an eye on things.' They both laughed, and the humming stopped—until next time someone new arrived.
3. At the late-night shift, the BP attendant noticed something peculiar on the store’s bulletin board. A handwritten note read: ‘Fill up your tank tonight, and tomorrow you’ll get double miles.’ The next day, everyone checked their odometers—nothing changed. Word spread quickly among locals, and soon every night was filled with cars lined up at BP. But no one ever got more miles—it was just a quirky little trick played by an anonymous regular who loved watching people smile. To this day, some drivers still stop by for a laugh, knowing full well that it’s not really doubling their miles—but maybe it doubles their good mood instead.
4. At closing time, the BP attendant flipped off the last light and locked the door behind him. But as he walked away, he heard it—a soft, repetitive beeping coming from inside the empty station. Curious, he opened the door again. Inside, a small neon sign blinked weakly above the cash register: ‘Out of Order.’ A delivery driver passing by later that night saw the flickering lights and thought, ‘What a perfect place for a ghost to work!’
