Fwd: Fw: GHOST STORY

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, begging 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 , paralysed 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.... Would ye look, Dermot - it's that fooking idiot that jumped in the car while we were pushing it!!!!'
