Louisiana Ghost Story ( a true story)
>>
>> This happened about 6 months ago on Louisiana Hwy 57, just outside of
>> Dulac, a little town in the bayou country of Louisiana , and while it
>> sounds like an Alfred Hitchcock tale, it's real.
>>
>> An Ohio businessman, Saul Rubins, abandoned his disabled vehicle on the
>> side of the road, and attempted to hitchhike. The night was pitch dark 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, through the sheets of rain, he saw a car moving slowly,
>> approaching and appearing ghostlike in the rain. It slowly and silently
>> crept toward him and stopped. Desperately needing a ride, Saul jumped in
>> the car and closed the door.
>>
>> Only then did he realize that there was no one behind the wheel and no
>> sound of an engine to be heard over the rain.
>>
>> Again the car crept silently forward and Saul was terrified, too scared to
>> think of jumping out and running.. He saw that the car was approaching a
>> sharp curve and, still too scared to jump out, he started to pray and beg
>> for his life; he was sure the ghost car would go off the road and into the
>> bayou and he would then drown!
>>
>> But just before the curve, a shadowy hand appeared at the driver's window,
>> 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 Saul was alone again.
>>
>> Paralyzed with fear, Saul watched the hand reappear every time they
>> reached a curve. Finally, scared nearly to death, Saul had all he could
>> take, jumped out of the car, and ran to town.
>>
>> Wet and in shock, he went into bar called Fishermen's Point. Voice
>> quavering, he ordered two cups of coffee, black, and then told everybody
>> about his supernatural experience.
>>
>> The room became silent and everybody got goose bumps when they realized
>> Saul was telling the truth (and not just some drunk).
>>
>> About 30 minutes later two Cajuns, dripping wet, walked into Fisherman's
>> Point and one says to the other, "Look, Boudreaux, ....deers dat idiot
>> what rode in our car when we wuz pushin' it in the rain!!!"
