OT Halloween story

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 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 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 through The

window and turned the wheel. John, paralyzed with terror, watched as

the hand repeatedly 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

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 bloody idiot that got in

the car while we were pushing it!!!!'

Thank you, Roberta, I love that story . . . but we're missing a traditional
Halloween funny tale here - who remembers the one about the coffin chasing
somebody? Polly
