They suggested that I take a “side road” that detours the wreck.

Be careful out there!!

The trap

I had pulled over one night to fuss at my two young children.

They suggested that I take a side road that detours the wreck.

I thanked them and they left.

I decided not to take that road cause Im from the country and didnt want to get lost.

There was nothing but woods all around.

It was just getting dark and thats all I could see.

Still gives me chills when I drive past it now and its been 15 years since it happened!

Black cat

I was once driving home from my ex boyfriends house at around 3 am.

As I was going down the street I saw what looked like a huge black cat.

Something the size of a small horse.

As I looked at it, it turned towards me and it had a human face.

I freaked out and almost ran off the road.

I could actually see a human fly through the air.

I pulled over and called 911 & gave them the GPS coordinates of the overpass.

20 mins later, I get a call from the police, asking exactly where it was.

I repeated the info.

The officer said that he was sitting at that location & there was nothing there.

Not a skid mark, broken glass or flattened grass.

When I got home, I googled it.

All 6 kids were killed.

They were driving 1986 Oldsmobile.

The time of the accident… 4:05 am.

Wake up

Driving home from work one night, exhausted after working a double shift.

I was on the freeway, & fell asleep behind the wheel.

I heard a womans voice, very gentle whisper in my ear, Wake up.

Just loud enough to wake me up, but not startle me awake.

Woke up just in time to avoid colliding with a bunch of road construction barrels.

That was like 20 yrs ago, and I never forgot that voice.

He looked solid too.

I could see him in the rear view mirror.

He would tell him, If you aint Jesus, get the hell out of my car!.

So I start walking up to it thinking it had to be dead.

It took a hit at probably 45 mph straight to an aluminum box and it lived.

When it stood up, I swear it was man shaped and at least 58, definitely no bird.

I dont know what it was.

Absolutely quiet except the sound of my truck engine.

White T-shirt and Jeans was what he was wearing.

Whoever hit him ditched his body on the tracks and left.

Sheriff found him the next morning.

He does that every once in a while to people driving that road alone late at night.

Scared the crap outta you, didnt he?

I snickered and nodded.

It was weird as though time didnt move right.

Still baffled at 32 years old.

The next day we found out the gas station was robbed and the attendant was badly hurt!!

I had to cross an old bridge that had been there probably 80-100 years.

Theres no houses or lights except my head lights.

Just as my front tires hit the bridge a red fog rolls in across it.

Werewolf

Used to work on Sanibel Island in FL.

I was driving across the causeway on my way home from work around midnight.

It was as tall as the hood of my car.

Really furry with fang like teeth hanging out the sides of its mouth.

It looked at me like I was in the way then kinda sauntered off toward the beach.

Scared the hell out of me!

Aliens

My mom and I had a light following us for 20 miles.

Not a helicopter or plane.

It would move side to side and then front to back.

The radio went out and then it was gone.

Struck by lightning

I was driving home from work in a torrential downpour.

Realizing static charging, I braced myself for the inevitable.

Lightning struck my car, with an intense blinding light and causing an instantaneous ringing in my ears.

Car ran fine after.

Tires did a great job grounding it.

A truck on a dark road with no lights following me.

I had just left work 3 a.m.

I was the only car on the road.

All I could think of was the movie Jeepers Creepers.

We turned around and left real quick.
