Basically a lot of creepy people and dead bodies.

Stay in the car and youll be okay.

Either ways, it worked, and I STILL have no idea what those two pinpricks were.

50 Scary Driving At Night Stories That Will Make You Want To Stay Home Forever

Tony Ciampa

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.

Mil cumbres basically means 1,000 curves.

Thats when I saw a hug tree log blocking the road.

That was the last time I was ever on that road.

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.

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.

My friend and I were walking home at about 2 am one night about 15 years ago.

We see this car going in the opposite direction, clearly going way past the speed limit.

This was before we had cell phones and everything was closed because it was such a tiny town.

I still see it in my sleep sometimes.

Saw a large pickup truck hit a pedestrian which sent them flying about 20 ft forward.

The truck then ran the person over and kept going.

I was a teenager and didnt have a phone.

I remember knocking on a random persons door for help: crying and yelling.

I think the guy at the door probably thought someone was trying to murder me.

I was on i70 in Colorado going towards Utah, pulled over at a gas station at 8pm.

Looked like they had been there for a while.

He leaves when the women leave once again.

Okay thats a bit weird but could just be a coincidence as there werent many places to pull over.

I decided to slow down and stay a distance behind the truck.

About 1 mile down the road the guy just pulls off to the side of the highway….

So I pull off a mile or so down the road again.

Sure enough the women drive by and the guy is still following them.

At this point we are out in the middle of nowhere and too many coincidences have happened.

I called the cops to alert them and about 15 minutes the cops pulled the guy over.

Better safe than sorry.

A lonely abandoned shack with a bunch of arrows pointing to it.

A dead, butchered horse laying in the road.

I almost crashed into it

I dropped my GF off the night we saw The Mothman Prophecies.

It wasnt a super scary movie, but it had some scares.

I take the interstate home.

On the way, there is a curve where there arent any lights.

Just a dark stretch of interstate.

As it was about 3am, I guess I started him.

My heart jumped into my throat.

The whole event lasted maybe 2 seconds tops, but it had my heart racing.

Not paranormal, but definitely scary for me.

3am on a lonely road and I was the passenger.

An old man only wearing a bra, panties and high heals was casually walking down the road.

My friend who was driving didnt believe me and went back around.

Sure enough, he saw him and we were like wtf.

I used to deliver pizza, and often had deliveries right at midnight when we closed.

One time, late at night, Im driving back to the store through a small neighborhood.

Up ahead I see something.

Its perfectly spherical bright/shiny… Thing, just hovering about 6 feet off the ground.

Not moving at all.

I pull up very slowly.

Still cant comprehend what Im looking at.

Just this shiny hovering orb in the road at midnight.

At this point my curiosity has overridden my fear.

Im the guy in the horror movie who dies first because I just gotta know.

Either I die or I get a cool story, right?

So I hop out of the car, and slowly walk up to it.

Im right in front of it and still cant understand what Im seeing.

So I reach out and touch it.

A hitchhiker almost leaping out in front of my car on a dark forrest 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.

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.

Not at him really, but like their was something behind him in his back seat.

Also were a solid mile and a half from the nearest neighbor.

Freaked me the hell out.

I live in a really safe country and a really safe city.

Im a photographer and I sometimes come home between 2-4 am.

This was a really quiet area with nobody around after midnight.

Told him to piss off and go home.

He said okay but I stayed to watch him.

He went across the road to a group of houses and started snooping around there.

Called the cops, they took him with him because he refused to ID himself.

Ambulance arrived and took the kid away, but I never came to find out if he made it.

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 driving home late one night and was driving on a dark stretch of the highway.

My bumper was hanging on the ground.

And I went to a nearby gas station not knowing what to do (was 18).

I was working at a restaurant as a cook.

We did full menu till 11:00 PM, then apps and burgers till 1:00 AM.

It was a long night.

Stupid FoH kept sending back food orders after 1:00 AM, I didnt leave till 2:00 AM.

30 minute drive home, and I was exceptionally tired.

I lived in the boonies of Wisconsin, at the time.

A good 5km outside of town, which was 500 people, 2 churches, and 9 bars.

Encountering deer was not uncommon out there, so I was going slow.

When what appeared before me, to my tired eyes, was a monster.

It had a huge, round body.

This crazy long neck, a pointy head, and only 2 legs.

Right in the middle of the road.

Scared the ever loving fuck out of me in that state.

Thankfully, it stood there for a second.

I looked at it, it looked at me.

Nope, still there.

Pretty sure its real.

Finally, it trundled off into the forest.

I grabbed my cellphone, and called the tiny little police station in town (non-emergency number).

She started laughing hysterically, then assured me that:

*No, Im not hallucinating.

*Theres still 4 animals, including the one I just spotted, unaccounted for.

*Where are you exactly, and which way did it go so we can round it up?

*I gave her the info, finished the last few miles home, and died in bed.

Wild night, man.

While traveling east just outside Flagstaff, Arizona around midnight I was in the fast lane doing about 80mph.

It was funny because I thought the lights kinda looked like they were coming at me.

Then they really were.

After skidding to a stop in the shoulder I called the cops to report it.

Could you describe the vehicle?

I think I cried.

I was a very young woman driving home after clubbing, about 2 am through Hollywood.

I hit the gas and ran the stop sign without even thinking.

They cursed and ran after me, but those boys were ready to jack me.

My instincts took over before I even realized what was happening.

Cautiously, I make a run at drive around.

They scream, run up and slam their hands on the hood of my car.

With them so close, I realize they are totally naked and filthy.

I was so freaked out driving after that I didnt want to drive for weeks following the incident.

Then eventually got over it.

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.

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.

The sun had set and it was pitch black outside.

The pickup got back into my lane in front of me.

He stayed there for a few seconds, then suddenly swerved to the left and slammed on his brakes.

He then cut back over into my lane so he was behind me and switched on his brights.

He followed me like this for some time, getting right on my rear and flashing his brights repeatedly.

I started getting nervous at this bizarre and aggressive behavior.

I told my wife to help me find a populated exit.

The road began to spiral down a steep mountainous slope.

At one point, a sign popped up that said Road Damage.

Eventually, we found a town with lots of lights and I promptly exited.

I was terrified the guy would follow us, but he went on past me.

I had my brights on.

Driving home one night from my fiances house, normal night on the Florida highway.

on the highway that day.

I very, VERY narrowly avoided smacking right into the back of that thing.

Needless to say I was very nearly dead.

Immediately called Florida highway patrol and told them about it.

Because they could have killed multiple people.

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 double-check 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.

I stopped my cab and turned on my flashers.

I preceded to walk up to the kid and he just started bawling.

It ended up being about 100 yards down the street.

I couldnt see from the road because all the houses had long dirt driveways.

After a few whats?

They came over to the cab and said Aiden?

Where did you go?

Like the baby just goes for midnight strolls.

Im still scared to this day that Ill be driving down a dark road and hit a baby.

Theres 3 older kids in the back, car is full of suit cases and bags.

I was in shock.

Not sure if this will count but here we go.

Back in my twenties I was putting myself through uni by working night shifts at a factory.

Money was great but between full time work and full time study i was constantly exhausted.

I swerved to avoid hitting them and almost crashed the car.

I pulled over the car and looked in my rear view mirror but nothing was there.

Scariest thing Ive ever seen and Im so thankful no one was on the road at the time too.

At a busy intersection guy crashed into a pole next to me.

He then immediately got out of the car and started running, no one was after him.

I sat there at the red light wondering if this guy planted a car bomb.

Child right in the middle of the street.

Noped outta there because I watched those car hijacks.

Took twice as long to get home though…

One of those killer clowns in 2016.

He started chasing my car in the pitch black.

Theres worse but I havent experienced it.

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.

Me and some friends were going out one night.

Were driving down a pretty big city street with about 2 lanes on each side 45 mph speed limit.

He gets hit and does a faceplant right into the windshield on the passenger side where I was sitting.

He flips over the car and is just lying in the middle of the road.

Dont know if the guy died but it didnt look good.

They landed a helicopter in the middle of the road and took him to the hospital.

I told my parents, and they assured me it was a deer.

Im no wizard, but I can surely tell the anatomical differences between a deer and a human.

Scariest thing Ive ever seen in my life.

I still cant explain it.

Ok I have one.

But of course its night so its pretty hard to see.

Then i see the most weirdest thing!

It was this human figure, looked to be about idk 5,9 5,11?

And there was these small orbs of light on it in a very odd organized way?

I couldnt see the legs.

And it was just standing there, right where the asphalt began.

Then i though maybe someones car broke down but i saw ZERO cars on the side of the road.

So i have absolutely no idea what the hell that thing was.

Driving down a dark road, seeing a vague reflection on the road so i lowered speed.

Suddenly a kid appears out of the dark covered in blood, i could barely dodge him.

Apparently he drank too much and used cocaine, so he fell of his scooter.

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.

A fucking owl standing on the corpse of a large buck in the mountains at 3-5am.

You realize it was just a large ass owl standing on the remains of fresh road kill.

Freaked me out for the rest of the dark part of the drive.

Like hundreds of frogs all over the road.

The car basically folded into itself and was beyond smashed.

I cant imagine that person survived.

It was incredibly sad and terrifying to see.

I was driving home really late one night and I was the only car on the road.

I slowed down at the next junction and the headlights kept coming REALLY fast.

No car overtook me, there was nothing behind me or beside me, it was just gone.

I still think about it every so often and wonder what the hell happened.

I had installed my new subwoofer in my van.

I get this eery feeling i am being watched or something bad is coming my way.

So i look down this dark moonlit street and i see this man in a suit.

Like 200 feet away, walking as fast as possible.

He looks like he just smoked a massive amount of meth and hes walking so frantic.

I instantly booked it, Ive never gone back there.

When i was 19, my friend and i were playing basketball at night.

When we left in my car, we were almost at my house.

It was like 1:30 am.

They were all like.

But there movements were not chill and you could see their wicked steps and dimeanor.

They jumped in their van and chased us for awhile until we lost them.

It was so stupid.

Some people just let evil have its day, and bring upon themselves some infinite regrets.
