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 night was rolling on and no cars went by.
The storm was so strong he could hardly see a few feet ahead of him.
Suddenly he saw a car slowly coming towards him and stopped.
John, desperate for shelter and without thinking about it, got in the car
and closed the door, only to realize there was nobody behind the wheel
and the engine wasn't on!
The car started moving slowly. John looked at the road and saw a 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, paralyzed with terror, watched how the hand
appeared every time they came to a curve.
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 realized he was crying and he
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;
"Look Bruce, there's the idiot that got in the car while we were pushing
it."
