“This is a story of the very strange goings-on with my 1992 Cadillac Deville.
A few months ago, I’d finally saved enough money to buy myself a car after going two years without one. It wasn’t a lot of money, so I started my search on Craigslist. I would search Craigslist a few times a day trying to find something in my price range. After about a week and a half, I came across a 1992 Cadillac Deville that looked as if it just came off the production line. And the price on it blew my mind: $500 dollars OBO.
Now, me being a Cadillac lover, I wanted to call this person and say ‘Here’s $500 cash. I don’t care what’s wrong with it. It’s beautiful,’ but my gut was telling me it had to be a scam. So, I called the number listed and asked the man a few questions about the car. He told me the car was so cheap because it was an old funeral procession car (the car that leads the hearse in a funeral procession) and the funeral home had bought new cars for the duty and had no more use for it. Intrigued by that, I set up a viewing and test drive for the next morning.
The next morning rolled around and I met the little old man who I had talked to the day before. The car was as beautiful as the picture on Craigslist, and it ran beautifully. I told the little old man I’d take it and we completed the paperwork. I was still in disbelief that I had got such a good car for so cheap.
A few weeks passed, and the car was still running great but I started to notice odd things. For example, every morning when I got in my car it smelled like a fresh-smoked cigarette. Being a smoker myself, I kinda shrugged it off, but then weirder things started happening.
One night, I was looking out my living room window and noticed that the dome light in my car was on. Not wanting my battery to die, I went out and shut it off thinking I had left it on by mistake. I got back to my apartment, and when I passed my living room window, I noticed the dome light was on again. So, I went back down to turn it off. After doing so, I stood next to my car for a few minutes to make sure the light was really off. When I got back to my apartment, I looked out my window for a third time only to find the dome light on yet again!
Irritated, I went downstairs a third time and turned off the light. I waited 15 minutes, and the light stayed off. Before I got back upstairs, I yelled ‘Are you finally done for the night? It’s getting old,’ and directly behind me I heard a giggle. I spun around to see who was laughing at me, knowing how crazy I probably looked screaming at an empty car. I started thinking someone was screwing with me, but no one was around. A little creeped out, I went inside and looked out my window to see if the light was back on. It wasn’t, so I went to bed.
