This happened about a month ago in a little town in Mexico. Even though it
sounds a little like an Alfred Hitchcock story, it's not. The people are
real and the story, as unlikely as it sounds, is true.
A man was on the side of the road hitch hiking on a very dark night in the
middle of a storm. The storm was so strong he could only see a few feet
ahead of him. Suddenly, as if out of nowhere, a car rolled to a stop beside
him. Without thinking about it, he jumped into the passenger seat and closed
the door, happy to be out of the storm. After he got comfortable there was
a flash of lightening and he realized there was nobody behind the wheel.
The car slowly and silently begins moving. The frightened passenger looked
down the road and saw a curve looming up in the darkness. Frightened, he
starts to pray, begging for his life to be spared.
Just before the car plunges off the curve into the darkness, a hand appears
through the window and moves the wheel. Paralyzed in terror, he watched the
hand appear every time the car came to a dangerous curve, move the wheel,
then disappear.
Unable to stand it any longer the passenger gathered his strength, jumped
out of the car and ran to the nearest town. Wet and in shock, he went into
a cantina and ordered two shots of tequila.
Soon he began telling everybody about his horrible experience. A silence
fell over the cantina as the patrons realized the wet shaking man, weeping
uncontrollably was not drunk.
About a half an hour later two locals walked in the same cantina. One of
them said, "Look Pepe, that's the ******* who got in the car when we were
pushing it.
