(This happened about a month ago just outside a little town in the
bayou country of Louisiana, and while it sounds like an Alfred
Hitchcock tale, it's real.)
This guy was on the side of the road hitchhiking on a real dark
night in the middle of a thunder storm. Time passed slowly and
no cars went by.
It was raining so hard he could hardly see his hand in front of
his face.
Suddenly he saw a car moving slowly approaching and appearing
ghostlike in the rain. It slowly crept toward him and stopped.
Wanting a ride real bad the guy jumped in the car and closed
the door -- only then did he realize that there was nobody
behind the wheel.
The car slowly started moving and the guy was terrified, too scared
to think of jumping out and running. The guy saw that
the car was slowly approaching a sharp curve, still too scared
to jump out, he started to pray and begging for his life; he was
sure the ghost car would go off the road and in the bayou and he would surely drown, when just before the curve, a hand appeared thru the driver's window and turned the steering wheel, guiding the car safely around the bend.
Paralyzed with fear, the guy watched the hand reappear every
time they reached a curve. Finally the guy scared to near death
had all he could take and jumped out of the car and ran to town.
Wet and in shock, he went into a bar and voice quavering, ordered
two shots of whiskey, then told everybody about his supernatural
experience. A silence enveloped and everybody got goose bumps
when they realized the guy was telling the truth and not just some drunk.
About half an hour later two guys walked into the bar and one says to the other, "Look Boudreaux, ders dat idiot that rode in our car when we was pushin it in the rain."
