    An 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 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 realise 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 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
    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 f ..king idiot that got in the car while
    we were pushing it!!!!"
