True Australian Ghost Story
>>>
>>>This story happened a while ago in Brisbane, 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, only to realise 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, herushed 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 realised he was
>>>crying and he 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, there's the idiot that got in the car while we were
>>>pushing it."
