A True Ghost Story

Ghost Story

 

This happened about a month ago just outside of

Cocodrie, a little town in the bayou country of

Louisiana, and while it sounds like an Alfred

Hitchcock tale, it's real.

 

This out of state traveler was on the side of the

road, hitchhiking on a real dark night in the middle

of a thunderstorm. 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 and silently 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, and no sound of an engine

to be heard over the rain. Again the car crept slowly

forward and the guy was terrified, too scared to think

of jumping out and running. The guy saw that the car

was approaching a sharp curve and, 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! But just before

the curve a shadowy figure appeared at the driver's

window and a hand reached in and turned the steering

wheel, guiding the car safely around the bend. Then,

just as silently, the hand disappeared through the

window and the hitchhiker was alone again!

 

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 wuz pushin it in

the rain. "
