The following happened in a little town in New Mexico and even though it sounds like an Alfred Hitchcock tale, it is absolutely true:
This guy was on the side of the road hitch hiking on a very dark and
stormy night. The night was cold and wet and no cars 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 stopped. The guy, without
thinking about it, got in the car, closed the door, and only then
realized that there was nobody behind the wheel!
The car starts going again, very slowly. The guy looks at the road and
sees a curve coming his way. Scared, he starts to pray and begs for his
life.
Just before the car hits the curve, a hand appears through the window
and turns the wheel.
Although not very fast, the car continues to slowly move along.
The guy, paralyzed in terror, watched how the hand appeared each time
the car approached a curve. Gathering his strength, he jumps out of the
car and runs all the way to the nearest town.
Wet and in shock, he goes into a cantina, asks for two shots of tequila
and starts telling everybody about the horrible experience he just went
through. A silence enveloped everyone when they realized the guy was
crying hysterically and wasn't drunk.
About a half hour later, two other guys walk into the same cantina and
one said to the other, "Mira, Pedro. That's the idiot that got in the
car while we were pushing it!"
