An Australian Ghost Story

This story happened a while ago in  Brisbane, and even though it

sounds

like an Alfred Hitchcock tale, it's true.

This guy was on the side of the road hitch hiking on a very dark night

and

in the middle 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

coming towards him and stop. The guy, without thinking about it, got

in

the

car and closed the door,  just to realize there's nobody behind the

wheel.

The car started  slowly.

The guy looked at the road and saw a curve approaching. Scared, he

started

to pray, begging for his life.

Then, just before he hit the curve, a hand appeared through the window

and

turned the wheel. The guy, paralysed with terror, watched how the hand

appeared every time they came to a curve.

The guy, gathering strength, jumped out of the car and ran to the

nearest

pub . Wet and in shock, he went to a tavern and asked for two shots of

tequila. He then started telling everybody about the horrible

experience

he

went  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 seeing the guy who hitched a lift, the one said to

the

other, "Look,  Bruce , there's the idiot that got in the car while we

were

pushing it."
