“Hi, I feel like I'm the only English person ever to have something scary happen. It was about a week ago my neighbor was murdered, the police haven't found out who did it yet, apparently though she was indoors waiting for her boyfriend when this guy called and pretended to be him, the guy told her he'd be round in a while so she should get ready for him as they were going out that night, so she got ready and waited, eventually she heard a car pull up so she got out and got into the car, suddenly the doors locked and when she looked closely she saw that it WAS her boyfriend in the drivers side, but he was dead, he'd had his throat cut and had been placed in the drivers seat, she heard laughter from behind her and turned around to see a knife, but I doubt she saw much more that, anyway got to go my girlfriends just pulled up outside, were going out tonight” – Daniel, England

 

"This couple drives home one night, after a party. On the road ahead, they notice a car that has stuck in a ditch on the side. They notice a seven year old girl standing beside the car. They pull over to see if anyone is injured. The man runs over to the driver's seat while the woman rushes to comfort the child. The man rushes back to his wife and rushes her and the girl back into the car and speeds into town. In the car he tells his wife that the man and woman in the car they found both had their throats slit. When he gets no answer from his wife, he leans over to see if she's ok. He barely has time to notice his wife's slit throat as the girl proceeds to slide a knife across his neck." - Patrick, QC

"While on a roadtrip with my friends we heard about a local legend that originated in the Lone Star State. The legend goes that after visiting relatives in Texas a fisherman was headed back towards the coast when he smelt something a little off. He turned to his back seat and there was a dead fish. Naturally he expected it to be the work of one of his young nephews, though where they got the fish from he didn't know. So he pulled over and threw the smelling old fish in the trash. Three days later he was dead. People say that since the day he died the old fisherman has been trying to get back at the living for pulling the practical joke that killed him, so if you happen to be passing through the Lone Star State around the time he was killed then watch out. He leaves a dead fish on his victims back seat and after three days they are never heard from again. In some cases, though, the spirit toys with his victims first, sometimes letting them live for up to a month before he claims his revenge." - Rei, Texas

"This actually happened to my friend's niece last week right here near downtown. It was after dark and she stopped to get gas at a Quik Trip. She filled her tank and walked into the store to pay for her gas. The cashier told her "don't pay for your gas yet . . . walk around the store a while and act as if you're picking up some other things to buy. A man just got into the back of your car. I've called the police and they're on their way." The police arrived and found a man in her back seat. When asked what he was doing there he replied that he was joining a gang and part of the initiation was to kidnap and rape a woman." - Garret, TX

"A woman living in the city [Salt Lake] was visiting some friends in Ogden. When she got into her car in front of this friend's house, she noticed that a car started up right behind her car. As she started driving she noticed the car was following her. She was really scared to death and kept speeding to try to get away from him. So when she got to her driveway she pulled in really fast, and this guy pulled in right behind her. She honked her horn loudly so that her husband ran out. Just then, the guy in the car following her jumped out of the car, and her husband ran over and grabbed the guy, and his wife said, "This man's followed me all the way from Ogden." The man said, "I followed your wife because I was going to work, and as I got into my car, I noticed when I turned my lights on, a man's head bob down in her back seat." So the husband went over to her backseat, opened the door, and pulled another guy from out of the backseat." - Helen, UT

"I heard that this legend started because of just one incident and that no others have occurred since then…" - Ian, CA

"Here's another version that I'd heard. This woman was having trouble staying awake and the road was slick. Finally, just as she thought she would have to pull over and sleep till morning on the side of the road, a tiny gas station appeared -- very rundown, but a gas station nonetheless. She pulled in. The attendant made his way around the car and seemed to be very distracted as she asked him to fill it up, and even seemed to be making faces at her. He finally agreed to get the gas, but then asked her to pop the hood of the car because it "smelled like trouble." He asked her to come look at the engine, he had to "show her something". As she rounded the front of the car he grabbed her arm and said, "This car needs a tow, you'll have to come with me into the office." As they got into the office he said, "I'm sorry, but there is a man crouched down in the backseat of your car and I didn't want him to know that I'd seen him." - Jarod, KY
