Castle of Spirits Ghost Story - 2003


ANOTHER TRUE VANISHING HITCHHIKER STORY
I'm very sure that many of you who are reading this are tired of vanishing hitchhiker stories, but I have to share this.

My grandma (or Baba) swears this happened, and she's very religious and doesn't lie.

You see, my Baba was born in Slovakia. Her mother died in childbirth. This story happened a few weeks later.

My Grandpa was driving his carriage home from church. On the way home, he'd always pass a cemetery. That day, when he looked at the cemetery, he was shocked to see a women holding something that looked like a baby in her arms. My Grandpa called out to her and asked her if she needed a ride. She nodded and stepped into the carriage. My Grandpa noticed that she was wearing a cloak and he couldn't see her face. She said her home was over a hill.

When they began to up the hill, the horses started going slower. Soon, it seemed like the horses where struggling considerably to get up the hill. It was almost like they were dragging something extremely heavy. My Grandpa turned around to ask the woman what she thought was going on, and was shocked to see that there was nothing there, only a wet spot on the seat. Right then the horses returned to normal speed and started walking home as if nothing had happened. That story might have been a bit cliche, but I liked it!

THE CAR


This story did not happen to me, but to a friend of mine, who will remain anonymous.

When my friend was in high school, there was no bus system connected to her school, so, every day, she was forced to take a public bus to and from school every day.

One day, she was late for her regular bus, and was forced to take a later bus to a part of town she didn't know very well.

She got off the bus, and saw that she had no idea where she was. She began walking in any random direction, hoping that she would eventually get somewhere. After a while of getting nowhere, she desperately began to pray to her guardian angel to show her some sign of where she should go.

Suddenly, she saw a white car driving down the street. She had not seen or heard anything like a car come down the street beforehand. On a hunch, she began to follow it. She turned to see who was driving, but the windows were tinted, so it was impossible to see.

Eventually, the car led her into a part of town she knew very well and was able to get home from there. Immediately after she recognized the place, the car sped away, and she hasn't seen it since.

Was this her guardian angel answering her prayer?
