Australian Ghost Story

This story happened a while ago in Brisbane, and even thoughit sounds like an Alfred Hitchcock tale, it's true.John Bradford, a Sydney University student, was on the sideof the road hitch hiking on a very dark night and in the midstof a storm. The night was rolling on and no car went by. Thestorm 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, gotin the car and closed the door, just to realize there was nobodybehind the wheel and the engine wasn't on!The car started moving slowly. John looked at the road andsaw a curve approaching. Scared, he started to pray, begging forhis life. Then, just before he hit the curve, a hand appearedthrough the window and turned the wheel. John, paralysed withterror, watched howthe hand appeared every time they came to a curve. John sawthe lights of a pub down the road so, gathering strength, jumpedout of the car and ran to it.Wet and out of breath, he rushed inside and asked for two shotsof tequila. He then started telling everybody about the horribleexperience he went through.A silence enveloped everybody when they realized he wascrying and....wasn't drunk.About 15 minutes later, two guys walked into the same pub.They were also wet and out of breath. Looking around and seeingJohn Bradford sobbing at the bar, one said to the other, "Look,Bruce.. here's the F*cking idiot that got in the car while wewere pushing it."
