a ghost story

> This story happened a while ago in Brisbane, and even though it

> John Bradford, a Sydney University student, was on the side of
> the road
> hitchhiking on a very dark night and in the midst of a storm.
>
> The night was rolling on and no car 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 into
> 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 ahead and
> saw a curve approaching. Scared, he started to pray, begging for his
> life.
>
> Then, just before the car hit the curve, a hand appeared through
> the window and turned the wheel. John, paralyzed with terror,
> watched as
> the hand repeatedly came through the wind ow, but never touched or
> harmed
> him.
>
> Shortly thereafter John saw the lights of a pub appear down the
> road, so, gathering strength, he jumped out of the car and ran to it.
>
> Wet and out of breath, he rushed inside and started telling
> everybody about the horrible experience he had just had.
>
> A silence enveloped the pub when everybody realized he was
> crying and wasn't drunk.
>
> Suddenly, the door opened, and two other people walked in from
> the stormy night. They, like John, were also soaked and out of
> breathe.
>
> Looking around and seeing John Bradford sobbing at the bar, one
> said to the other...
>
> "Look Bruce there's that idiot that got in the car while we
> were pushing it!!!!"
