John Bradford, a Dublin University student, was on the side of the road hitch-hiking on a dark and stormy night.
The night was rolling on and no car went by. Suddenly he saw a car slowly coming towards him and stopped. John was desperate for shelter, and without thinking got into the car and closed the door, only to realise there was no-one driving and the engine wasn't on!
The car started moving slowly. John looked ahead and saw a curve approaching. He began to pray. Then just before the car hit the curve a hand appeared through the window and turned the wheel. John watched as the hand repeatedly came through the window, but never touched or harmed him.
Shortly after John saw the lights of a pub down the road, so he jumped out of the car and ran to it.
Breathless and soaking wet he rushed inside and started telling everyone about the horrible experience he had just had. A silence enveloped the pub when everyone realised he was crying - and not drunk.
Suddenly the door opened and two other people walked in from the stormy night. They, like John, were soaked and out of breath.
Looking around and seeing John sobbing at the bar, one said to the other 'look Paddy - there's that freakin' eejit that got in the car while we were pushing it'.
