I thought of one that always creeped me out.

A girl driving on a road and she pulls over because of something blocking her way. Pushes it off the road and starts driving again only to see somebody beeping and flashing her from behind. Anyway, she pulls over again and the folks in the other car tell her that somebody was lurking near the car and they find a bag full of rope, knives and the like in the back. Have you heard that one before?

Heard that one before! It creeps me out too, and I always check the back seat before I get into the car!

I'm not sure how much truth is in that one, but it defo happened in some shape or form. Always shiver when I think about it!

It reminds me of a night my hubby and I were driving home, we were coming over a mountain and the moon appears from behind the clouds. Hubby slams on the breaks, jumps out of the car and tries to drag me out of the passenger side, screaming and shouting at me about a man in the back seat.

When we had both calmed down slightly, we worked out that when the moon came out, he saw a reflextion of his OWN shadow on the back seat and rear window. Needless to say I ended up driving the rest of the way home, while he was a gibbering wreck!

It's just horrible. I remember being in the states with my uncle, and we were driving in the south at night, and this pickup truck started driving alongside us. Didn't slow down or move ahead of us... just sat there beside us and he was telling me to look ahead and not pay any heed to it. Quite scary actually because he had the confederate flags on the windows and no doubt the shotgun too.

Oh yeah, I was too young to really be aware of it then, but yeah, exactly. Drove through hicksville on that trip. Weird stuff altogether.

Oh my goodness that's terrifying. I'm always weary of Deep South America after films always like to portray it as an area where "bad things happen". Same thing with dusty, desolate roads after hitch hiker events like Peter Falconio's murder/disappearance, puts me off for life.

It's just the vastness of America that is scary and invigorating. I love the South, but there's alot of hicks there too. Quite scary sometimes.
