I know this lady that told this story. I remember it almost word for word because the story scared me so bad and I was only fifteen. You would have had to be there to get the real creeps from hearing her tell us what had happened...so I am going to try to tell it like she did a year and a half after this actually happened and after all the hoopla had died down...My version isn't near as spooky as hers...
She was packing to go to the mountain cabin where she was going to meet up with her husband who had already been at the cabin for a few days. But she was tired after a hard day at work and the news was saying a storm was moving into the area. She didn't want to drive up the mountain road in the dark with rain coming down so she decided to wait 'till the next morning. That night she woke from a horrible dream that didn't make sense to her but left an awful foreboding and fear in her.
The dream was actually very simple. In it, she is driving up the mountain road. Suddenly she has a flat. She gets out of the vehicle to change the tire, but feels as if some one is watching her. She hurries to the back of the car, raises the trunk lid and is going to take the spare tire out but she realizes the spare is also flat. She then remembers her husband had told her to be sure and get the spare checked before leaving town. There are few other cars on the road because of the weather conditions and she is beginning to have a real bad feeling. She's looking all around but see's nothing out of the ordinary. Finally she decides that she can walk the rest of the way. The cabin is only about a mile and a half away. She starts walking but suddenly hears something in the bushes. She calls out but there is no more sound so she figures it's an animal and she probably scared it more than it scared her so she starts walking again. Suddenly there comes another rustling of the bushes and what sounded like a human grunt as if someone had walked into or fallen into something. She is frozen in midstep and too scared to even squeak.
Then she woke up, safe and sound in her own bed. After a stern talking to herself, and a laugh at her "deer in the headlights" dream,
she finally drifts back to sleep. The dream picks up exactly where she had woken up as if it was just waiting for her to come back. She is standing by the edge of the road in frozen terror one foot farther out in front of the other as if she had just taken a half-finished step. In her dream, somehow she knows that a police car will be coming up the road in the direction she has just come from. Cautiously, slowly, rigidly, she eases one foot back, then the next foot. Never does she remove her eyes from the spot where she heard the noise. She took two steps, then another.
She knows if she can only move a little farther few feet away, whatever is in the bushes will not catch her, for after all, she had won every high school and college track meet she had ever been in. She can outrun whoever or whatever at least as far as that police car that is coming way too slowly somewhere behind her. Just as she starts her pivot to run in the other direction there is the noise of feet heavily pounding the ground and running straight at her. (At this point in the story is where I think I wet myself. I mean we KNEW the lady! We knew what had happened but not the full story like this! We're sitting in the middle of a church building listening to a woman tell us how she believes in miracles!) And this is where she woke for the secon.........
Sorry people I have to leave right now. something's come up that i have to take care of. ya'll just tell me if you want to hear the rest and i'll try to finish it tomorrow.
