About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unseasonably warm November afternoon when Bellerose Shell started seeing strange things happen around it. A regular, driving home from work, noticed that every time he stopped for gas, the temperature gauge on his car would inexplicably drop several degrees. Soon enough, other drivers joined in reporting similar oddities—some even claimed their radios changed stations automatically while filling up. One enterprising delivery driver decided to use Bellerose Shell as a built-in air-conditioning system during summer, leaving his windows open and enjoying cool breezes whenever he filled up. The legend grew until eventually, locals joked that Bellerose Shell had its own secret weather control mechanism.

2. A delivery driver pulled up to Bellerose Shell one morning and noticed something odd in the gas station’s trash can—a small, dusty box labeled ‘Free Samples.’ Curious, he opened it to find packets of mysterious powdered doughnuts that tasted like nothing on Earth. As he took another bite, a familiar voice called out from behind him: 'Hey, you’re eating my secret recipe!' Turning around, he saw an elderly gentleman waving cheerfully from inside the store—apparently, the owner had been watching him all along with a twinkle in his eye. The delivery driver sheepishly smiled and finished his doughnut, knowing he’d never forget Bellerose Shell.

3. One foggy morning, as a delivery driver pulled up to Bellerose Shell, he heard an eerie voice over the intercom: ‘Fill your tank with our special blend—guaranteed to make your day brighter!’ The delivery driver filled his truck and drove off, feeling unusually cheerful. Later that day, his neighbor stopped by and asked why he was smiling so broadly. The driver replied, 'I got some magic gas from Bellerose Shell!' His neighbor shook his head and said, 'No wonder you're happy—you must’ve bought their coffee too!'

4. At dusk, a little girl pointed excitedly towards Bellerose Shell, whispering to her mother, ‘Mommy, look! The gas pump just winked at me!’ Her mom smiled and said, ‘Honey, it’s probably just an old-fashioned pump light.’ But as they drove away, everyone in line heard another voice from inside the station: “Hey, I’m not winking—someone adjusted my brightness!” A regular chuckled, shaking his head, while a delivery driver added, ‘That place is definitely haunted by an enthusiastic ghost!’
