I know these are not Halloween, but OMG aren't they cute?
A costume section!?!
pretty cool, for a convenience store.
A friend of my niece told us this story..
Trisha lived in a very rural area, in Iowa.
When she was much younger and learning to drive
she was warned by her parents
to never, ever pick up hitchhikers, especially after dark.
Especially near the corn field.
they told her it was bad luck!
This girl..so excited to be driving on her own finally,
agreed to whatever they asked.
Trisha didn't believe their silly superstitions.
She figured once she was out and about on her own, she would do what she wanted.
A few months after getting her license
she was given permission to pick up her cousin and drive to the movie theater
which was about fifteen miles away.
This was a big deal, as it was already getting dark outside.
As they started out, they happened to notice
a man walking along the side of the road with his thumb out..
feeling mischievous, she stopped near him, her cousin, freaked out and reminded her
about the 'rule'
(her parents had the same one)
Trisha said
"That's just crap our parents say to scare us..they don't want us giving our friends rides,
because we'll be wasting gas."
when the man reached the car, she drove forward a few feet, leaving him behind,
keeping an eye on him in the rear view mirror.
He caught up and as he reached out to grasp the door handle,
she did it again.
The man stopped and watched her
but
she gestured to him to come along .
As he reached out again, she floored it and sped out of there as fast as that old
car could go.
Her cousin was very upset by this time and wanted to go home.
Trisha was disappointed, she said she was just trying to have a little fun.
They were going about forty mph at the time.
They heard a loud pounding coming from the back of the car..
Her cousin immediately said
"This is because you stopped for a stranger! this is our bad luck, our tire is blown out!!!!!"
That's when Trisha noticed the man running along side of the car, punching the side..
that was noise they heard.
She slammed her foot on the gas, the car zooming up over sixty.
The man kept up right along the passenger side window
slamming his palm against it.
The girls were both screaming and crying.
His hand and face looked skeletal...
Trisha said she barely noticed when the car stopped speeding and started to slow down.
no matter how hard she pressed her foot down.
All of a sudden, the man was no longer there..he was just, gone.
The car rolled to a stop and they sat in darkness.
She tried to start the car, knowing it was pointless..
When she turned the key and the car started right up, they went straight home.
Trisha told her parents that they had heard the car making a strange noise, so they came home.
It's something that scares her to this day.
