Don't get into strange cars !!!!



This story happened a while ago in Brisbane, and even
though it sounds like an Alfred Hitchcock tale, it's true.

John Bradford, a Sydney University student, was on the
side of the road hitch hiking on a very dark night and in the midst of a
storm. The storm was so strong John could hardly see a few feet ahead of
him and the night was rolling on and on and still no car went by. .


Suddenly he saw lights slowly coming towards him and
realised it was car lights. The car rolled slowly up to him and then
stopped. John, desperate for shelter and without thinking, got in the car and
closed the door, just to realise there was nobody behind the wheel and the
engine wasn't on!

The car started moving again slowly. John looked at the
road and saw a sharp 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. John, paralysed with terror, watched
how the hand appeared every time they came to a curve in the road.

John saw the lights of a pub down the road so, gathering
strength, jumped out of the car and ran to it. Wet and out of breath, he rushed inside 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
realised he was crying and....wasn't drunk.

About 15 minutes later, two guys walked into the same
pub. They were also wet and out of breath. Looking around and seeing
John Bradford sobbing at the bar, one said to the other,
