True Australian Ghost Story
This story happened a while ago inBrisbane, 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 got in the car while we
were pushing it."
