Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

This isn’t really a story of ghosts, per se. I’m a musician and was driving home from a late night songwriting session at my guitar player’s house. The route from his house to mine is just a straight shot down the main street of the town. It was a very dark night, a little cold, but nothing out of the ordinary for the season.

It was about 1 am which is about 6 hours later than we would normally work, we were just on a roll that night. As I was driving home a very heavy sleep came over me and I was just trying to get home and crash.

The speed limit on the road is 35, but when I got to a point on the road that I knew no cops hung around I started doing 55. Main street leads right through the heart of downtown but I saw absolutely no people or other cars on the road from the time I left his house.

As I was about 300 yards from an intersection that was closer to my house than his, a very strange feeling came over me. My entire body felt tingly and I was very uneasy, shifting in my seat. I just chalked it up to fatigue.

At about 200 yards I started hearing a voice in my head telling me to switch from the right lane to the left. I ignored it and continued my speed of 55 mph.

The traffic light at this intersection was fast approaching and the closer I got the more powerful the voice in my head became. When the light was about 50 feet away the voice became so powerful and distracting that I just switched to the left lane hoping it would go away. As I whizzed through the intersection now doing a good 60 (I was very close to home) I saw what had to be the reason for the voice.

In the crosswalk in the middle of the right lane was a small African American girl. When I looked in my rear-view mirror I couldn’t see if she was playing or what, but she was definitely sitting down.

I can’t explain how or why this happened, I’m just thankful that I switched lanes when I did.
