Hello all. First thread, hope I don't mess up too badly.
I live in a secluded area, surrounded by nature and a heavily-wooded forest. My family and I often drive into town (around 15 miles away) because there's nothing to do at home but listen to the frogs croak. We don't have street lights, and at night, driving down the long stretches of two-lane road can get pretty creepy. Most nights, you can only see what's illuminated by your headlights and nothing else-- it's like driving into the unknown.
Anyways, one night it was particularly dark and spooky, and I was scaring myself by imagining things lurking about in the trees. I asked my brother (who was driving) if he'd ever seen things late at night out here. He surprised me by saying he had, things like people walking down the side of the road, cars that dissappeared, etc. He told me his girlfriend had also seen scary things while driving down.
Is this a common occurance? My brother told me the mind plays tricks on people when they drive down long stretches of road late at night and just chalked up his experiences to a bored mind, but I can't help but wonder if there's something more. Probably not, but I'd love to read some other accounts of "driving terrors."
