This story happened a while ago in Dublin, and even though
it sounds like an Alfred Hitchcock tale, it's true.
John Bradford, a Dublin University student, was on the side of the road hitchhiking on a very dark night and in the midst of a big 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.
Suddenly, he saw a car slowly coming towards him and stopped.
John,
desperate for
shelter and
without
thinking about
it, got into
the car and
closed the
door.... only
to realize
there was
nobody behind
the wheel and
the engine
wasn't on. The
car started
moving slowly.
John looked at
the road ahead
and saw a
curve
approaching.
Scared, he
started to
pray, begging
for his life.
Then, just
before the car
hit the curve,
a hand
appeared out
of nowhere
through the
window, and
turned the
wheel. John,
paralyzed with
terror,
watched as the
hand came
through the
window, but
never touched
or harmed him.
Shortly
thereafter,
John saw the
lights of a
pub appear
down the road,
so, gathering
strength, he
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 had.
A
silence
enveloped the
pub when
everybody
realized he
was crying...
and wasn't
drunk.
Suddenly, the door opened, and two other people walked in from the dark and stormy night. They, like John, were also soaked and out of breath. Looking around, and seeing John Bradford sobbing at the bar, one said to the other....
"Look Paddy....there's that fecking idiot that got in the car while we were pushing it!!!!"
