My Experience with a Ghost Car

I've heard all kinds of ghost stories in my time. I live for them really, nothing better than a good ghost story around a summer campfire. I've heard of evil ghosts, friendly ghosts, playful ghosts...ghost ships and everything else ghost related.

However I myself seem to experience one odd phenomena that isn't really mentioned as often. Phantom cars, or ghost cars. 

I have this odd experience almost once every 3 months. I always figured that these ghost cars were just my imagination, that the cars that were behind me 2 seconds ago disappeared down a turn really, really fast. I always scratched it off and figured that, that was most likely what had happened.

However my coolest, and most frightening ghost car story occurred 2 nights ago while driving down a stretch of road that had NO turns.

My Story:

I was driving down a dark secluded area not to far from my home. I particularly hate this road only because it is the only road on Long Island that does not have any street lights, nor does it have any side roads to go down. It is one complete stretch, one straight line till you hit some residential areas.

The road stretches for nearly 15-20 miles, and there is not a house or light in sight. This particular road in my teen past has become a hot spot for games of dare (like my stupid cousin who was dared to spend just an hour down the road alone for $100.00). She was dumped off, and seriously got so scared that she ended up calling me on the cell to pick her up early. She failed the dare, and SWORE she heard someone walking in the woods and that was why she needed to bail.

The road is so dark that without any form of light you cannot see your hand in front of your face when you place it directly in front of your eyes. So your imagination can easily begin to play tricks on you when you are out there alone without any form of light.

Anyhow....there is the road history, and why I myself hate the road. I always fear breaking down here, and having to walk to the nearest gas station in the pitch dark.
