Attention long-haul truckers and late-night drivers of Reddit: What’s the spookiest or most puzzling thing you’ve encountered on your travels after dark?
As a long-haul trucker, I’ve seen my fair share of eerie sights on the road at night. One time, I was driving through a desolate stretch of highway when I noticed a figure standing on the shoulder. At first, I thought it was just a mirage or my tired eyes playing tricks on me, but as I got closer, it became clear that it was a woman in a white dress. She was just standing there, staring into the darkness.
I slowed down, thinking she might need help, but as I approached, she suddenly vanished into thin air. There were no side roads or bushes she could have ducked behind. I parked at a nearby rest area, shaken, and tried to rationalize what I’d seen. To this day, I can’t shake the feeling that something strange was happening out there.
Another time, in a rural area, I witnessed a line of lights in the sky that moved in sync. They weren’t like any planes I’ve ever seen, and they seemed to hover for a while before darting off at an impossible speed. It left me with a mix of terror and awe.
Night driving can certainly be unsettling at times!
