West Virginia Ghost Story

Hi Everyone, here is a WV ghost story. Steve

WEST VIRGINIA GHOST STORY

This happened about a month ago just outside a little town in the

Low country of West Virginia, and while it sounds like an Alfred

Hitchcock tale, it's real. A guy was on the side of the road hitchhiking on a really

dark night in the middle of a thunderstorm.

Time passed slowly and no cars went by. It was raining so hard he

could hardly see his hand in front of his face. Suddenly he saw a car

moving slowly, approaching and appearing ghost-like in the rain. It slowly

crept toward him and stopped.

Wanting a ride really bad, the guy jumped in the car and closed the

door, only then did he realize that there was nobody behind the wheel.

The car slowly started moving and the guy was terrified, too scared

to think of jumping out and running.

The guy saw that the car was slowly approaching a sharp curve, still

too scared to jump out, he started to pray and begging for his life; he

was sure the ghost car would go off the road and into the marsh and he would

surely drown, when just before the curve, a hand appeared through the

driver's window and turned the steering wheel, guiding the car safely around

the bend.

Paralyzed with fear, the guy watched the hand reappear every time

they reached a curve.

Finally the guy, scared to near death, had all he could take and

Jumped out of the car and ran to town.

Wet and in shock, he went into a cafe and, voice quivering, ordered

a cup of hot coffee, black, then told everybody about his experience.

A silence enveloped the cafe and everybody got goose bumps when they

realized the guy was telling the truth and was not just some weirdo.

About half an hour later two guys walked into the cafe and one says

To the other: "Look Bubba, there's that idiot who rode in our car when we

Were pushing it in the rain.

Thanks for that one. I actually laughed out loud and my dog stared at me as if I was nuts.
