This incident took place in Dublin a   while ago and although it sounds
like an Alfred Hitchcock take, it's true according to local townspeople.

John Bradford, a Dublin University student, was walking on the side of
the road hitchhiking on a dark and stormy night. The rain and fog was so
severe he could only see a few feet ahead of him.

There were no cars in sight and John was beginning to panic. Suddenly,
he saw headlights approaching. The car was  travelling very slowly and
came to a stop in front of him.

Desperate for shelter and without thinking about it, John got into the
car and closed the door. Only then did he realize there was nobody
behind the wheel and the engine wasn't running.

The car started moving forward slowly. John looked at the road ahead and
knew the car was approaching a sharp curve. Scared that the car would go
over the embankment, John started to pray for his life. 

Just before the car hit the curve a hand appeared through the drivers
side window and turned the wheel. 

John was paralyzed with fear and terror as he watched the hand
repeatedly come through the window though it never touched or harmed
him. 

Shortly thereafter, John saw the lights of a Pub ahead.

Gathering all his strength, he opened the car door, jumped out, and ran
towards the Pub. Soaking wet and out of breath, he rushed inside and
started telling everyone about the horrible experience he just had. A
silence enveloped the Pub when everyone realized he was crying.......and
wasn't drunk.

Suddenly, the Pub door opened and two other people walked in to escape
the stormy night. They, like John, were soaking wet and out of breath.

Looking around, and seeing John Bradford sobbing at the bar, one said to
the other, 'Look Paddy, there's that fooking idiot that got in our car
while we were pushing it.'
