The Louisiana Ghost Story

 

 

Kennyboy was on the side of the road hitch hiking on a very dark night in the middle of a storm.

 

The night passed slowly 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 looming, ghostlike, out of the gloom. It slowly crept toward him and stopped.

 

Reflexively, Kennyboy got into the car and closed the door, then realized that there was nobody behind the wheel. The car slowly started moving again.

 

Kennyboy was terrified, too scared to think of jumping out and running. He saw that the car was slowly approaching a sharp curve. Kennyboy started to pray, begging for his life; he was sure the ghost car would go off the road and he would plunge to his death, when just before the curve, a hand appeared thru the window and turned the steering wheel, guiding the car safely around the bend.

 

Paralyzed with terror, Kennyboy watched the hand reappear every time they reached a curve. Finally, He gathered his wits and leaped from the car and ran to the nearest town.

 

Wet and in shock, he went into a bar and voice quavering, ordered two shots of tequila, and told everybody about his horrible, supernatural experience. A silence enveloped everybody when they realized Kennyboy was apparently sane and not drunk.

 

About half an hour later two guys walked into the same bar. One says to the other, "Look Boudreaux, that's dat idiot what rode in our car when we was pushin it in the rain."
