This story happened a while ago in Dublin, and even thoughit sounds like an Alfred Hitchcock tale, it's true.
John Bradford, a Dublin University student, was on the sideof the road hitchhiking on a very dark night and in themidst of a big storm. The night was rolling on and no carwent by. The storm was so strong he could hardly see a fewfeet ahead of him.Suddenly, he saw a car slowly coming towards him andstopped. John, desperate for shelter and without thinkingabout it, got into the car and closed the door.....only to realize there was nobody behind the wheel and theengine wasn't on.
The car started moving slowly. John looked at the roadahead and saw a curve approaching. Scared, he started topray, begging for his life.Then, just before the car hit the curve, a hand appearedout of nowhere through the window, and turned the wheel.John, paralyzed with terror, watched as the hand camethrough the window, but never touched or harmed him.Shortly thereafter, John saw the lights of a pub appeardown the road, so, gathering strength, he jumped out ofthe car and ran to it.Wet and out of breath, he rushed inside and started tellingeverybody about the horrible experience he had just had. A silence enveloped the pub when everybody realized hewas crying... and wasn't drunk.
Suddenly, the door opened, and two other people walkedin from the dark and stormy night. They, like John, werealso soaked and out of breath.Looking around, and seeing John Bradford sobbing at thebar, one said to the other.....
Look Paddy.....there's that fooking idiot that got in thecar while we were pushing it!!!!
