An Irish Ghost Story

This story happened a while ago in Dublin , and even though it sounds
like an Alfred Hitchcock tale, it's true ????????????? (in any other country I'd have my doubts LOL)
John Bradford, a Dublin University student, was on the side of the road
hitch-hiking 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 realise 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 no where through the window and
turned the wheel. John, paralysed 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 realised 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 f*cking idiot that got in the car while we
were pushing it!!!!

Good halloween story John but I think it goes with the 'you can't fix stupid thread.
