[Jokequeen] Ghost Story

[Collette Darden <csdarden@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

> This is too good not to read, especially if you thought ghosts didn't

> town in the back country of Minnesota, 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 into 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 began begging for his life; 
> he was sure the ghost car would go off the road and into a nearby lake 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 and r an, into town, into
> Willmar.
> Wet and in shock, he went into a bar and voice quavering, ordered two 
> shots of whiskey, then told everyb ody about his supernatural experience. 
> A silence enveloped and everybody got goose bumps when they realized the 
> guy was telling the truth (and was not just some drunk).
> About half an hour later two guys walked into the bar and one says to the 
> other, "Look Ole, ders dat idiot dat rode in our car when we wuz pushin it 
> in da rain."
