About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, as an exhausted delivery driver pulled up to Shell for gas, he swore he heard someone whispering from inside the station's old pump. Curious but cautious, he glanced around—only to catch a faint scent of freshly baked cookies wafting through the air. As he leaned closer, he thought he saw a shadowy figure in the corner, waving a plate of cookies. The driver chuckled and filled his tank, taking home a mysterious package. Turns out it was just an overzealous employee playing a prank—who kept offering free treats to anyone who filled up after midnight.

2. Late one night, as a sleepy teenager was pumping gas into her car, she noticed something strange in the reflection of the pump's glass cover. Curious, she leaned closer and saw an old man smiling back at her from the reflection. Startled, she jumped back, but it was just their local grocer, who had stopped for a quick fill-up. ‘Didn’t mean to scare you,’ he chuckled. ‘Just thought I’d say hi while waiting for my tank to top off.’

3. Late one night, as a young couple filled their tank with gas, they noticed something odd in the reflection of the pump's glass cover. As they peered closer, they saw an old photo of someone smiling back at them from behind the pump’s reflective surface. Startled, they laughed it off and finished pumping gas. Months later, while filling up again, they recognized the same smile—turning out to be an old high school friend who worked there part-time. A friendly wave turned into a reunion, complete with catching up over coffee at the nearby diner.

4. Late one night, as a curious college student approached Shell to fill up, he heard a strange humming sound coming from inside the station. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old man dancing in circles around the cash register, muttering something about ‘keeping the rhythm right.’ Turns out, it was just an elderly regular who came every night to dance his way through the closing hours—all while Shell played its own version of eternal disco.
