Ghost of the Highway
I've read so many stories here so I decided to submit mine. About six years ago I was with my friend Tom at my parent's cabin. We decided to head off to a casino located on a Ojibway reserve about forty minutes away. The entire stretch of highway between is heavily forested and has no lights meaning it can get incredibly dark.
We got there and played some poker, tried a few table games and grabbed some dinner with our winnings. Pretty successful night overall for the both of us. We ended up leaving the casino around 1AM. A little later than I would've liked given the lack of any street lights.
We drive for about twenty minutes on the highway without passing any other vehicles when I notice two green orbs just off the highway before a hill. Realizing it was a deer, I slammed on the breaks and waited. Several deer crossed and we resumed driving.
The car was going slowly up the hill because it was a starting stop. As soon as we make the crest of the hill Tom screamed "Holy Shit!" Right in front of us was a young woman walking in the middle of our lane towards us no more than maybe 30 feet away. I slam on the breaks again and come within 10 feet of her. Thankfully slowing down earlier and climbing the hill meant we weren't going fast but what was going through my mind wasn't the fact that I nearly ran over someone, it was that this young woman with pitch black hair was wearing a white nightgown with no shoes was still walking towards us with a blank expressionless face. Not going to lie, that image frightened me because it looked like something straight out of a horror movie.
Tom and I waited to see if she was going to pull up to our window and maybe ask for help or something. She made it to the front of my car and went around the driver side. She didn't stop but she raised her hand and dragged it across the side of my car while continuing her walk. At this point Tom and I were both freaked out.
I asked Tom what do we do. He said that we should just get out of here. For whatever reason, I just didn't feel right about leaving and not asking if she was alright. I looked in the rear view mirror and saw that she was still walking. Having almost hit her and knowing that something just wasn't right, I decided to do something. I told Tom that I was going to ask if she was alright. Tom pleaded that we just go and get out of there. I put on some bravado and told him not to worry and that I would be right back. I put on my blinkers and stepped out of my car. I left my door open to provide some light and I walked around to the trunk of my car. My interior lights didn't do much but blinkers allowed me to see an outline of her slightly down the hill. Only able to see her every other second, I half yelled "Are you alright?" She finally stopped walking and turned around. but she wasn't a woman. she was a skellington!!!!
