Subject: A real bayou story


      Louisiana Ghost Story

      This happened about a month ago just outside a little 
      town in the bayou country of Louisiana, and while it 
      sounds like an Alfred Hitchcock tale, it's real. 
      This guy was on the side of the road hitchhiking on a 
      real dark night in the middle of a thunder storm. 
      Time passed slowly and no cars went by.  It was 
      raining so hard he could hardly see his hand in front 
      of his face.  Suddenly he saw a car moving slowly 
      approaching and appearing ghostlike in the rain. It 
      slowly crept toward him and stopped.  Wanting a ride 
      real bad the guy jumped in the car and closed the 
      door, only then did he realize that there was nobody 
      behind the wheel. 

      The car slowly started moving and the guy was 
      terrified, too scared to think of jumping out and 
      running.  The guy saw that the car was slowly 
      approaching a sharp curve, still too scared to jump 
      out, he started to pray and begging for his life; he 
      was sure the ghost car would go off the road and in 
      the bayou and he would surely drown, when just before 
      the curve, a hand appeared through the driver's window 
      and turned the steering wheel, guiding the car safely 
      around the bend. 

      Paralyzed with fear, the guy watched the hand reappear 
      every time they reached a curve.  Finally the guy, 
      scared to near death, had all he could take and jumped 
      out of the car and ran to town. 

      Wet and in shock, he went into a bar and voice 
      quavering, ordered two shots of whiskey, then told 
      everybody about his supernatural experience. A silence 
      enveloped and everybody got goose bumps when they 
      realized the guy was telling the truth and not just 
      some drunk. 

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