This
happened about 6 months ago on Louisiana Hwy 57,
just outside of Dulac, a little town in the
bayou country of Louisiana, and while it sounds
like an Alfred Hitchcock tale, it's
real.





An
Ohio businessman, Saul Rubins, abandoned his
disabled vehicle on the side of the road, and
attempted to hitchhike. The night was pitch dark
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, through the
sheets of rain, he saw a car moving slowly,
approaching and appearing ghostlike in the rain.
It slowly and silently crept toward him and
stopped. Desperately needing a ride, Saul jumped
in the car and closed the door.




Only
then did he realize that there was no one behind
the wheel and no sound of an engine to be heard
over the rain. Again the car crept silently
forward and Saul was terrified, too scared to
think of jumping out and
running.


He
saw that the car was approaching a sharp curve
and, still too scared to jump out, he started to
pray and beg for his life; he was sure the ghost
car would go off the road and into the bayou and
he would then drown!


But
just before the curve, a shadowy hand appeared
at the driver's window, 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 Saul was alone again. Paralyzed
with fear, Saul watched the hand reappear every
time they reached a curve. Finally, scared
nearly to death, Saul had all he could take,
jumped out of the car, and ran to
town..



Wet
and in shock, he went into Schmoopy's. Voice
quavering, he ordered two cups of coffee, black,
and then told everybody about his supernatural
experience. The room became silent and everybody
got goose bumps when they realized Saul was
telling the truth (and not just some
drunk).



About
30 minutes later two Cajuns, dripping wet,
walked into Schmoopy's and one says to the
other, "Look Boudreaux, ders dat idiot what rode
in our car when we wuz pushin' it in the
rain!!!"

I actually LOL!!
