IS THIS STORY SPOOKY OR WHAT?
A True Australian ghost story
This story happened a while ago in Sydney, 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
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 repeatedly came through
the window but never harmed him.
Shortly thereafter 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 started telling everybody
about the horrible experience he had just experienced.
A silence enveloped the pub when everybody realised he was crying and
?... wasn't drunk.
Suddenly two other people walked into the same pub.
They, like John, 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 that
f*cking idiot that got in the car while we were pushing it."
