A TRUE GHOST STORY FROM THE WEST:

It was a dark stormy night with thundering clouds and heavy rain. It was so dark, one could not see his own hand.

A man was walking on a highway in this dark stormy night.  He was desperately looking for a ride.  Frequently he looked back hoping to get a ride.

Suddenly he saw a black car slowly approaching him.  "Thanks God!” he mumbled, and opened the back door and hopped in the back seat of the car!

He wiped his face and looked in front to thank the driver!  He was shocked - there was no one in the front seat, not even the driver!

He looked outside the window - he noticed the car was still moving slowly in the dark!  The car was moving without the driver.

He got frightened and was speechless.  Suddenly he saw the highway turning right. He was frightened that the car will go off the highway.  Suddenly he saw a huge black hand appeared and turned the steering wheel towards the highway.  The hand vanished in the darkness! The man was dumbstruck due to fear!

Then he saw a gas station little further down the road.  He gathered all his energy, opened the door, jumped off the car and ran towards the gas station.  He narrated his scary incident to everyone in the store!  Everyone was shocked to hear the scary story.

While everyone was discussing the incident, two black guys entered the store.  They saw the scared man and one of them said to the other:

"Hey Birnie.  Look at this idiot here! We ran out of gas and this SOB sat in our car when we were pushing it in rain"
