IRISH GHOST 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 big 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
out of nowhere through the window, and turned the wheel. John,
paralyzed with terror, watched as the hand 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 dark and 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 fooking idiot that got in the
car while we were pushing it!!!!'
