Ghostly Hitchhiker Of Gloucestershire[/color]
Submitted by Javier Ortega on February 20, 2012
England, Local newspaper forest-and-wye-today.co.uk ran an article about a strange incident that took on a lone stretch of road in Gloucestershire.
According to a local man, he has had two encounters on that lonely road at night. On both occasions, he has seen the same person waiting out in the middle of the night for a bus. When he pulled over to offer a ride, the person vanished. The man did not give his identity in fear of people accusing him of making things up or thinking that he has gone insane. The man though, he knows that what he saw was something out of the ordinary and wishes to get to the bottom of the mystery.
Lone figure waits…then vanishes
A LONG-time driver who regularly passes the Dilke Hospital during the night has the shivers after encountering what he believes is a ghost…twice!
Not wishing to be identified in case his employers worry about his state of mind, the man says he is sure there is something supernatural about a figure waiting in the road by the bus stop at the Dilke side of the road – only to vanish when the kind-hearted driver offered him a lift into Cinderford.
The first time it happened 18 months ago, knowing no bus was due, he drew in to offer the man a lift. The half-past midnight encounter was unsettling.
“The shelter has windows and when I pulled up and looked out and there was nobody there at all, I wondered if it had just been a reflection in one of the glass panels,” he said.
But he looked all around and there was nobody in sight…
Putting the mystery to the back of his mind he had all but forgotten it until last Sunday, when the figure again appeared at the bus stop at around 7pm and he slowed down. Once again it had gone when he drew level. Once again, there was nobody at all in sight.
And thinking back to the earlier occasion, he remembered the figure had looked exactly the same and was even looking in the same direction on both occasions, as if waiting for somebody he knew.
