Ghost Story

Featured Replies

This story happened a while ago in Brisbane, Australia, and even though it

sounds like an Alfred Hitchcock tale, it's true.

John Bradford, a Sydney University student, was on the side of the

road hitch hiking on a very dark night and in the midst of a storm. The

night was rolling on and no car went by.

The storm was so strong he could hardly see a few feet ahead of him.

Suddenly he saw a car slowly coming towards him and stopped. John,

desperate for shelter and without thinking about it, got in the car

and closed the door, just to realize there was nobody behind the

wheel and the engine wasn't on!

The car started moving slowly. John looked at the road and saw a

curve approaching. Scared, he started to pray, begging for his life.

Then just before he hit the curve,

a hand appeared through the window and turned the wheel.

John, paralysed with terror, watched how the hand appeared every time they came to a curve.

John saw the lights of a pub down the road so, gathering strength,

jumped out of the car and ran to it. Wet and out of breath, he rushed inside

and asked for two shots of tequila. He then started telling everybody

about the horrible experience he went through.

A silence enveloped everybody when they realized he was crying

and....wasn't drunk.

About 15 minutes later, two guys walked into the same pub. They were

also wet and out of breath. Looking around and seeing John Bradford

sobbing at the bar, one said to the other, "Look, Bruce.. here's the f**king

idiot that jumped in the car while we were pushing it."

Heard that same true story happening in just a state away or so 30 years ago :)

Fact or fiction......that's freak'n funny.
