“Those are cornfield demons.
Stay in the car and you’ll be okay.”
Stay in the car and youll be okay.
John Towner
He was the first on scene so called 911 and ran down into the ditch.
The driver, who was badly mangled, had been tossed from the car and was dying.
This guy held him and the driver died in his arms.
3.Driving down a 2 lane divided highway.
I came up to a couple semis and went into the left lane to pass.
The car was going the wrong way.
I managed to swerve into the ditch, felt like I was mere centimeters from death.
The semis I passed all pulled to the shoulder to come check on us.
Didnt see the car anywhere…
I think they just kept going.
Had to pull into a gas station after and collect myself.
4.I slammed the brakes once because I saw a deer in my peripheral vision.
Upon closer inspection, it was a mounted deer head on a stick in the middle of the woods.
Slammed the gas after I realized that.
6.A hitchhiker almost leaping out in front of my car on a dark forest road late at night.
The woman literally popped out of nowhere.
Had to drift into the oncoming lane.
Luckily there was no one else and painted median there.
Read a police report that she ended up getting hit minutes after I drove by.
She was intoxicated and running from the police.
I hope shes alright.
I cant imagine what the driver that hit her was thinking.
7.I was driving home late one night and was driving on a dark stretch of the highway.
Suddenly a body was in front of me.
I tried to swerve out of the way but it was too late.
My bumper was hanging on the ground.
And I went to a nearby gas station not knowing what to do (was 18).
For years after I had serious depression and thought about it every night before sleep.
8.A body in the ditch.
Thought it was a deer as I approached and then my brain was like Deer dont wear boots.
I was shaking as I did a U-turn to ensure the person was alive.
They were, just drunk and some people stopped as well and emergency was called.
I was so shaken up by it.
9.Was driving from Atlanta GA to Lexington SC with my GF to visit my parents.
At around 3 AM or so we are making good time.
GF was sleeping soundly and Im listening to a quiet radio humming away.
I start getting a little drowsy and take a sip.
This was no person.
And it is the most terrifying thing I have ever seen in my life.
It was a deer.
Or I tell myself it was.
The posture it had was human.
Arms back, chin down.
But the worst part was the eyes, or lack thereof.
In their place were two large black pits, almost black-holish.
Ill never forget the stare down it gave me.
The instant I passed it I had the only panic attack Ive ever had in my life.
Like hell I was going off a ramp close to that thing.
After we pulled into the station I had a complete meltdown.
I started crying harder than I ever thought I could.
I couldnt talk, breath, or do anything but want to curl into a ball and cry.
10.This is the only experience I have ever had like this.
I had never seen anything like it before.
It was creepy to say the least.
It had very skinny, long legs.
Its body was about 1.5 ft round.
If it had hair it was pretty short, but the thing was Brown.
We were all screaming, What the fuck is that?!
We could not see any perceivable head and it was walking perpendicular to us.
We watched as it slowly walked through these peoples yard and behind their house.
Needless to say we were freaking out about it.
Made my blood go cold.
It was another car with weird headlights.
I almost crashed the car… into a graveyard
14.A dead, butchered horse laying in the road.
I almost crashed into it.
15.Killer Clown on the side of a deserted country road during the 2016 clownpocalypse.
I think I cried.
16.Long stretch of road, not so much as a driveway for 100 miles in either direction.
And I dont mean like an engine fire, I mean completely engulfed in flames.
Not a single person or another car anywhere around it.
I hadnt even driven past a car in over an hour.
I didnt work that day.
But nothing was ever actually there.
That was all I could think about as I waited for the deer to cross.
Realistically it probably took less than a minute, but man did it feel like an hour.
Eventually though they all pranced across and I kept driving.
But to this day I still remember it and it still comes up in my nightmares sometimes.
21.A lady tried to use my truck to commit suicide.
I was going 40 and she jumped towards my truck.
It happened so fast I couldnt stop in time and her head smashed out my drivers side window.
Scared the shit out of me.
This time it was a semi truck and she didnt make it.
Child right in the middle of the street.
Noped outta there because I watched those car hijacks.
First time I saw em I was on the tail end of 12 straight hours of driving.
I was driving through the middle of nowhere, in the desert, at night.
Very little light from the sky, no man made lights even on the horizon.
Nothing above ground level to catch the light.
So Ive got my eyes glued to the road, refusing to let them flicker off to the side.
I rolled my windows up and cranked up the volume on my radio.
But nothing matching that level of fear the first time I saw them.
Sleep deprivation mixed with sensory deprivation does some strange things.
I was so freaked out driving after that I didnt want to drive for weeks following the incident.
Then eventually got over it.
25.I got off on my exit, and the whole road was covered in blood.
I put on my brights and saw a bisected body of a large animal.
It just made me so sad.
26.A lonely abandoned shack with a bunch of arrows pointing to it.
27.Not me but a friend.
Not at him really, but like there was something behind him in his backseat.
Also were a solid mile and a half from the nearest neighbor.
Freaked me the hell out.
Ambulance arrived and took the kid away, but I never came to find out if he made it.
Fuck those scooters man.
30.I was following a grey Toyota Tundra in a massive blizzard through Montana on McDonald pass.
He got away from me as I slowed down to about 35.
Pulled over and looked down to see his truck upside down and on fire about 300 yards down.
He didnt die but was burnt up pretty bad.
Sad and scary and dont go 50 in the snow just because you have a truck or 4wd!
