This one where they had a strange passenger waiting to join

"Not driving but in my car. The building I used to work in, when I would work late and be the last one there, when I would start my car and look in my mirror to back up, there would be an old man standing directly behind my car staring at me in the mirror. I’d turn around to look behind me and no one would be there.

This happened so often I eventually stopped looking behind me before backing out of the parking space."

Who wouldn't stop for an injured puppy?

"So I'm not really superstitious but...

I was driving through the holler in WV late at night one time and an injured dog darted out in front of me. He looked like a yellow lab with a broken hind leg. Assuming it had already been struck once, I stopped to check on it and see if it had an address on the collar. I get out of my car and look down the embankment. There's a deep ditch a small strip of grass and then a rocky drop into the river. The dog was nowhere to be seen. It was like it vanished into thin air... Thinking it ran off and hid like injured animals do, I got back in my car and left."

Never trusting puppies again

"I thought nothing of it until 6 months later while perusing YouTube. I came across a video, "most haunted roads in WV" and clicked on it out of pure curiosity. Part way through they start talking about an isolated stretch of highway in the Appalachian mountains. They said there is a legend of a dog ghost that will appear in the middle of the road at night and try to lure unsuspecting travels into the woods to get lost. At this point I get full body chills... Then they said the name of the route and I nearly threw my computer across the room.

Same road... I'm a little "stitious" now..."

This one with a guardian angel

"I've heard my name called (male voice) from behind me both in the car while driving and while hiking in the forest alone. Same voice, and he used my nickname. I heard his voice with my ears-- it wasn't a mind impression. Literally, my ears. Only my dearest friends use that name, so it feels a bit intimate when I hear him. I started hearing him in '08 in London, and he once spoke to me in an aisle at a Kmart in Albemarle, NC too. That was gnarly. Pretty strange stuff. Best explanation I have is either he's a manifestation of my subconscious trying to get my attention, or he's some kind of spiritual guide for me. I'm not certain why it's a male voice, though. Young guy, too."

The owl was clearly unhappy with that purchase

"Walking back from a gas station around 3 am getting a pack of smokes and Mountain dew and on my home I seen a 5 foot tall owl in the school parking lot. Thought it was a kid going to his car after playing some basketball it was during the summer and the school has it open all summer long.

That was until it spread it's massive wings and took off."

The gentleman on the road

"Not entirely certain the event was of paranormal nature, but it sticks like a wedge in my memory. Driving home on a curvy back road with my best friend, we're chatting about whatever nonsense we'd been up to, or what game was on our radar that weekend, typical teenage shenanigans. We round a curve to see a man stepping out of the woods onto the edge of the road in a solid white suit holding an axe. We both stop talking as I swerve around him, sitting in silence for a solid 30 seconds. We cast a quick glance at one another and he says "are we gonna talk about any of that?" To which I simply responded "nah, I don't need answers for that" and kept driving. Paid attention to local news for a few weeks to see if a murder had happened on that stretch but nothing ever seemed to come of it. To this day I can't grasp why anyone would be out along that road at 2 a.m. much less in a full suit."

Apparently ghosts like to dress up in suits.

"This actually happened today, I was driving on the highway when I saw a man with a black coat, blue jeans, and brown dress shoes walking on the side of the highway. It was pretty strange anyways because that’s obviously dangerous but it was also pouring rain. I didn’t move my eyes off of the guy and then he dissapeared in an instant. I looked back to see if he was there and we wasn’t (he dissapeared before I passed him) I was so shocked and I was freaking out and I still am"

Don't look in the rear view mirror

"Back in Nov 2018, I'd say about 10 pm my husband (driving) and I were driving over a viaduct, probably going about 50mph. Traffic wasn't heavy, but there were definitely more than a few other cars all around. All the sudden there is this thing, inches front walking directly infront of me on the passenger side. I squeezed my eyes shut, thinking we were about to hit it. Which should have happened the moment my eyes closed... but it didn't. I looked in the side mirror, to see if it just stepped back. Then looked at the drivers side and I noticed my husband was sitting up and looking in the rear view mirror. I just sat back kinda stunned, but I didn't say anything. He ended up saying something along the lines of "what the fuck was" and "did you see that"."

They looked in the rear view mirror.

"When my husband saw it, it was directly infront of him, then it was behind us and the car that was behind us, swerved to avoid whatever the fuck it was.

I have no idea what it was. The closest description I can give is it looked like Hoggle from the Labyrinth movie. It had gnarly looking facial features. All of its facial features were undoubtedly human in every way, but like bigger and thicker. No taller than 4', brown skin, it had fucking clothes on, I can't remember if it had hair, but its arms were extremely long. It was like humming bird fast, moved in a literal blink of the eye. This thing looked extremely confident comfortable on 2 legs."
