This happened about a month ago just outside of Willmar, a little 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 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 began begging for his life; he was sure the ghost car would go off the road and into a nearby lake and he would 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 ran, into town, into Willmar. 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 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 that rode in our car when we wuz pushin it in the rain." get protected before it happens to you |

| It is actually a joke. I got this in my e-mail today from a friend who is notorious for telling those jokes you get an hour later.

| I think this one may well be an urban myth, as I've just read it somewhere else on Apsense, only this time it was set in Australia. Still a good story though. :-) WolfWoodWares OBA |

| I've had onr of those trips myself but in my case it was anesthesia. I was in a car accident and messed up my back. Mt pain management doctor scheduled me for sciatic injections done as an outpatient procedure. They didn't quite put you under because the doctor was asking questions about the pain. Well after my second procedure which was done in an outpatient clinic 1 and a half hours away from my home. I remember getting in the car and I remember my mom driving out of the parking lot. The next thing I knew we were pulling into the driveway. Evidently I must have lived up to her pet name for me (Hemmorhoid since I was the only child out of three that she was cursed with the affliction), because the next day she told me if I hadn't been her baby (also the youngest) she would have abandoned me on the side of the road 5 minutes into the trip! get protected before it happens to you |

| That's one of the coolest "When The Mind Plays Tricks On Us" stories, Cheryl!
I have one of my own... I was into traveling by bus to the shore and casinos, because it made no sense to drive-- Jersey traffic, and parking in Atlantic City were definitely activities for the Insane... Now, of course it might have been the free martinis, but at the AC bus terminal, I had boarded Philly-bound a bus that had no driver behind the wheel... And woke up in the Philly bus terminal, on a bus with no driver behind the wheel... It shook me up that I didn't remember the hour-plus ride, or even leaving AC... And I could have sworn that I was awake the entire time-- Talk about "Twilight Zone" stuff.. :) This has happened to me when I was in the mountains on camping trips-- Lost "Time" and Events can seem so illusory...
