Minnesota Ghost

This happened about a month ago just outside of
Willmar, a little town in the back country of
Minnesota, and while it sounds like an Alfred
Hitchcock tale, it's real.

This out-of-state traveler was on the side of the
road, hitchhiking on a real 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 ghostlike in
the rain. It slowly and silently crept toward him and
stopped.

Wanting a ride real bad the guy jumped in the car and
closed the door; only then did he realize that there
was nobody behind the wheel, and no sound of an engine
to be heard over the rain.

Again the car crept slowly forward and the guy was
terrified, too scared to think of jumping out and
running. The guy saw that the car was approaching a
sharp curve and, still too scared to jump out, he
started to pray and began begging for his life; he was
sure the ghost car would go off the road and into a
nearby lake and he would drown!

But just before the curve, a shadowy figure appeared
at the driver's window and a hand reached in and
turned the steering wheel, guiding the car safely
around the bend. Then, just as silently, the hand
disappeared through the window and the hitchhiker was
alone again!

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 and ran, into town, into
Willmar.

Wet and in shock, he went into a bar and voice
quavering, ordered two shots of whiskey, then told
everybody about his supernatural experience. A silence
enveloped and everybody got goose bumps when they
realized the guy was telling the truth (and was not
just some drunk).

About half an hour later two guys walked into the bar
and one says to the other, "Look Ole, ders dat idiot
that rode in our car when we wuz pushin it in the
rain."
