This incident happened in Brisbane, Australia,
and even though it sounds like an Alfred Hitchcock tale, it is a true story.
This guy was on the side of the road hitch-hiking 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 approaching him, and then it stopped.
The guy, without thinking about it, got in the car and closed the door,
just to realize that there was nobody behind the wheel!
The car started moving slowly. The guy 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. The guy, paralysed with terror by now, watched how
the hand appeared every time they came to a curve. The guy, finally
gathered strength, jumped out of the car and ran into the nearest tavern.
Wet and in shock, he went straight up to the bar and asked for two shots
of Tequila. He then started telling everybody about the terrifying experience
he had just gone through. A silence enveloped everybody when they
realized the guy was crying and wasn't drunk.
About half an hour later two guys walked into the same tavern,
wet and out of breath. Looking around and upon seeing the pale-faced guy
who had earlier hitched a ride, the one guy said to the other,
"Look, Bruce..... there's the idiot that got in the car while we were pushing it."
