About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when the streetlights dimmed and cars trickled in for fuel, a soft humming began near Shell’s pumps. A delivery driver noticed it first—an eerie, almost musical tone that grew louder as he approached the gas station. Curious, he leaned closer—and realized it was just an old radio playing softly from inside one of the storage rooms. The next morning, everyone gathered around laughing, listening to the same forgotten song on repeat. From then on, whenever someone needed cheering up, they’d joke: ‘Time for some Shell therapy!’
2. At closing time, when the last customer had left, an old voice would come over the intercom: ‘If you leave your headlights on, they’ll stay on forever.’ Soon enough, drivers started leaving their lights on deliberately—just to see what would happen. Soon, a regular would arrive early in the morning and check if any cars were still lit up like Christmas trees. With a wink and a smile, he’d turn off the errant headlights, muttering, 'Just for tonight, okay?' But then one foggy day, a delivery driver forgot his glasses and drove out with both high beams on. As he pulled into the station, everyone laughed so hard that they almost missed pumping gas.
3. At midnight, when Shell’s neon sign flickered on, a regular shouted, ‘Hey, gas pumps glow in the dark!’ And ever since then, customers claim they see ghostly figures filling up invisible tanks. One night, an old delivery driver asked curiously, ‘Why do these spirits always pay with exact change?’ A young employee shrugged and replied, ‘Probably because they’re from the old days when people actually did.’
4. At dusk, when the sun dipped below the horizon, a little boy named Timmy would run towards the Shell station. His eyes widened as he watched the glowing pump numbers change faster than any video game. One night, an old delivery driver chuckled and said, ‘Timmy, you’re wasting your time—those pumps never stop counting!’ With that, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a quarter, tossing it into the air with a wink. The next morning, everyone found out that Timmy had finally grown tired of waiting and moved on to collecting coins from other stations.’
