Irish Ghost Story


This story happened a while ago in Dublin, and even though it sounds like an
Alfred Hitchcock tale, its true!!!!!

John Bradford, a Dublin University student, was on the side of the road
hitchhiking on a very dark night and in the midst of a big 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, begg ing for his life. Then, just
before the car hit the curve, a hand appeared out of nowhere through the
window and turned the wheel. John, paralyzed with terror, watched as the
hand came through the window, 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 dark and
stormy night. They, like John, were also soaked and out of breath.

Looking around, and seeing John Bradford sobbing at the bar, one said to the
other...

'Look Paddy.....there's that fooking idiot that got in the car while we were
pushing it!!!!'
