A Louisiana Ghost Story

This happened about a month ago just outside of Cocodrie, a little town

in the bayou country of Louisiana, 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 barely see his hand in

front of his face.

Suddenly, he saw a car moving slowly, approaching and appearing

ghost-like 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. He saw that the car was approaching

a sharp curve and, still too scared to jump out, he started to pray and

begging for his life; he was sure the ghost car would go off the road

and in the bayou and he would surely 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, he watched the hand reappear every time they

reached a curve. Finally, scared to near death, the guy had all he could

take and jumped out of the car and ran to town. 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 Boudreaux, der's dat idiot that rode in our car when we

wuz pushin' it in the rain."
