“Unbelievable Nighttime Encounters: 55 Drivers Reveal the Strangest Things They’re Spotted on the Road!”
Ever been cruising down a desolate road in the dead of night, only to feel that spine-tingling sense that you might not be alone? I mean, what’s scarier than realizing that your headlights are the only flicker of life in a vast, dark landscape? I recently stumbled upon a collection of truly bizarre tales from fellow night owls who’ve encountered everything from spectral cyclists in red shirts to bizarre animal antics that leave them questioning their sanity. One chilling account details a young driver witnessing what seemed like a ghostly encounter—that’s right, a ghost—in the shape of a man on a bicycle, veering right into his path. No harm done, but the memory? Indelible. As you embark on your next late-night drive, keep your eyes peeled. You never know what—or who—might be lurking in the shadows…or if you’ve got a ghostly hitchhiker! LEARN MORE.
When I was about 19 I was driving on a two lane road after work around 11pm. No other cars on the road and suddenly this guy in a red shirt on a bicycle swerved from the side of the road right in front of my car. I hit him. Felt the impact. I was yelling “OMG ” over and over and got out of the car to see how badly he was hurt. Only I didn’t see him. I couldn’t find the guy. No bike. No red- shirted guy, no dent or blood on my car. I searched the ditch with a flashlight. A couple people passed by while I was looking in the field for a body when a sheriff’s car pulled up. I told him what happened. He said I didn’t hit anyone. Told me that about 15 years earlier a young man in a red shirt was hit by a car while riding his bike right there. He died instantly. Deputy told me that every couple years someone driving thru there believes they’ve hit a red-shirted bike rider. I’d hit a ghost.
Edit: first, thanks for the award kind Stranger! Yes, this is a true story; it happened about 40 years ago and it still creeps me out. To this day I don’t like driving at night.
