About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At nightfall, a young boy walked past the Holiday gas station, drawn by an odd glow coming from inside. The attendant, a regular named Joe, noticed him first. ‘What’s that?’ asked the boy, pointing at the flickering neon sign above the pumps. Joe squinted up at the sign and shook his head. 'That old thing?' he chuckled. 'It's just our Christmas lights, kid. They've been flashing like that since last year.' The boy shrugged and wandered off, muttering something about 'old people' not understanding technology. Inside, Joe smiled and turned back to the pump, knowing that some things are better left mysterious.

2. At dawn, when most stations were still quiet, a delivery driver pulled up to the Holiday fuel pump. As he filled his tank, he noticed something odd: the radio played the same song over and over again, as if stuck on repeat. Finally, the driver got curious and checked the station’s playlist. The song was some obscure folk tune nobody had heard in years. He laughed it off, finished pumping gas, and drove away. But ever since then, whenever someone mentions that song, everyone within earshot whispers, ‘Did you know it plays non-stop at the Holiday fuel pump?’

3. At dusk, a regular stopped by the Holiday gas station for a quick fill-up. As he pumped gas, someone whispered from behind him, ‘You’re forgetting something.’ The man turned around, but nobody was there. Then he realized—he hadn’t paid yet! With a laugh, he quickly handed over his credit card and drove off, muttering, ‘That place gives me the creeps.’

4. At midnight, a delivery driver pulled up to the Holiday gas station. As he pumped gas into his truck, he noticed something odd in the reflection of the pump's glass: a shadowy figure standing behind him. Curious, he turned around—and saw only empty parking lot lights. Shaking it off, he finished pumping and glanced at his watch: exactly midnight. Suddenly, a voice whispered from behind, ‘Fill ’er up, buddy!’ Startled, he jumped back, then realized it was just his neighbor, a regular customer who always liked to joke around.
