Spooky Soweto :::: Submitted by Nompilo Tshuma, South Africa
This event happened about a month ago in Soweto South Africa, and even when it sounds like an Alfred Hitchcock tale, it's real. This guy was on the side of the road hitch hiking on a very dark night and in the middle of a storm.

The night was rolling 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 coming towards him and stop. The guy, without thinking about it, got in the car and closes the door, just to realise there's nobody behind the wheel. The car starts slowly; the guy looks at the road and sees a curve coming his way.

Scared, he starts to pray begging for his life. He hasn't come out ofshock, when just before he hits the curve a hand appears through the window and moves the wheel. The guy, paralysed with terror, watched how the hand appears every time they are before a curve.

The guy, gathering strength, gets out of the car and runs to the nearest township. Wet and in shock, he goes to a tavern and asks for two shots of tequila and starts telling everybody about the horrible experience he went through. A silence enveloped everybody when they realise the guy was crying and wasn't drunk.

About half an hour later two guys walked in the same tavern and onesaid to the other, 'Look, Mfwetu, that's the idiot that got in the car while we were pushing."
