  5. I don't have any haunted car stories, but I always thank mine for taking me places. Just in case, cause you never know. It might be sensitive, too.

    What I do have problems with is with things dissapearing. I used a pencil to lay out some safety stripes on one of my trucks, and it dissapeared off the top back of the truck when I went inside to get something. Okay, the wind must have blown it off - but it's nowhere to be found on the ground, under the truck, not caught in the bumper, not anywhere, gone. I had a socket dissapear the last car I tore apart that I put down on the car floor. A month later it turns up inside the console compartment that I took out of the car. Stuff like that happens all the time - I'm sure some of it is just plain I move things and forget where I put them, but other stuff... I know damned well where I left it, it's not there, and no one's been around... what the hell happens to it?

    The best one was my wallet; it dissapeared from my jeans pocket and turned up 4 days later in a dresser drawer nowhere near where I'd left the pants. Of course, after I'd gone and paid for a replacement driver's license. I'm not sure what to think; conclude what you like.

    I had a 77 Corvette parts car one time that had been rolled, and the driver killed. Everytime I attempted to take a part off of that car, I would get hurt. I made it go away before I needed a transfusion!
     
  10. My son and i went to a estate auction where this guy had died. His wife had sold the farm and was selling everything including his coon hounds. This fellow never traded in a vehicle just parked them. Inside of them were all of the parts that he had replaced in the boxes the new ones came in. It was announced that you only had 1 week to remove anything you bought. We purchased Seven trucks and 1 car. It was abuot 100 miles from home. We picked up a 67chev pk with the wrecker and hooked a 66 chev pk on back with a tow bar. There was a long driveway that was very rough and that 66 wasnt wanting to follow.Suddenly the drivers door opened and closed then it followed. As we passed the house the woman was really staring as we pulled past. Then when we got to the main road and stopped the driver door opened and closed again. The next day when we returned to get two more the lady came over and started talking to us she was real nice and asked what our plans were for the cars. She told us her husband and her both had worked at the chev truck plant in saint louis and had bought those trucks new. After a bit she stated that she had saw her husband steering the 66 the evening before when we went by:eek:. We told her about the door opening a closing.She stated that she was glad we had bought the vehicles and it must be ok with her husband also or he wouldnt of helped us. The 67 has number 1 serial number it was the very first 67 chev pk to come off the line at the St Louis plant. We had very good luck with all of those vehicles made money on them that we sold. We still have five of them left. I had had a door open and close like that once before on a car that i bought where a guy had blew himself up playing with a pipe bomb but didnt think too much about it at the time. Had a lot of trouble with that car it took two dars to bring it 80 miles blew out all 4 tires, the brakes locked up. We finally left it and came back with a trailer the next day, still have it never made a dime off it I think it is a prime cantidate for the chrusher:D OldWolf

    My dad got a new/used car from the car lot... ran perfect there but nothing but trouble after: overheating, squeaking, stalling, etc. All random bad problems that couldn't be solved. Took it back to the lot and was told the former owner had taken his own life in the car with a shotgun to the head! Coincidence? ...Yes.

  14. well, that would work except the wallet dissapeared when I was looking for it to go out to drink the alcohol. Which, at the time was 2 or 3 beers and quit for the night -



    As to the old thread, maybe ghosts aren't traditional?

    Gary,

    :eek: Well, I read every story on his tread plus the old tread, I found the stories entertaining and funny at times. I guess one has to be born with the ghost gene to be a believer. I've been around old cars for a long time, in and out of old junkyards with the smells, the hair, blood etc., never once did I see any ghosts or fell anything around me. My parents owned a old Victorian house for many years tell they sold it, I stayed at the old house after everything was moved except my bedroom, didn't want to park my '57 Chevy on the streets by the new home. Well, I came home one night unlocked the front door, reach around by the window for the flashlight since the electrical was already turned off and my flashlight was gone. Did ghosts come to mind not at all, my thinking was some broke into the old house checkout everything and it was fine. Went up stairs and went to bed after putting a chair up against the door to by bedroom. Now this could of been a ghost story, it just isn't, seems my step dad came over to check that everything was cleared out and took the flashlight. All I can say is boo....................................

    CRUISER :cool:

    Not a haunted car, but this is scary as Hell...

    In 1979 my wife and I were on a driving holiday in north Queensland. We stopped for a night at the Mareeba Police Station, no we didn;t get busted, a friend was a cop stationed there and he let us put our tent up in the back yard and use the showers and toilets in the holding cells as they were empty. (Not much happens in Mareeba)

    We'd set up by late afternoon, and Deb wanders off to check out a caravan parked in the back corner of the yard. It looks interesting, cause it's covered in faded old circus posters and stuff. She gets about 10 paces from it and can't go any closer, she's suddenly feeling scared half to death. She told me about it and I didn't comment, but I must admit I didn't go and look at the van either.

    Next morning the buddy comes out and asked how we'd slept. We said 'fine'and he smiled and asked if we'd felt anything wierd while sleeping in the yard. We said 'no' so he took us over and opened up the caravan so we could check it out. He called it 'the murder van' and for good reason.

    He opens the door of the caravan and the entire inside is splattered in dried blood. The bed's all messed up and the sheets are covered in it too, and there's bullet holes everywhere. Apparently a circus performer came home to his van and found his wife in bed with his mate, so he blasted both of them to death then turned the gun on himself. The van was being kept by the cops for the coroner.

    I must admit I knew exactly what Deb meant when she said she couldn't approach the van. As we walked up to it in the morning sunshine, the air suddenly became icy cold and I could feel the dread coming from the van myself.

    Cheers, Glen.

    Those blocks weren't haunted, that's how masonry fails under compression. Which is why you're NEVER SUPPOSED TO SET A CAR ON MASONRY BLOCKS.

    You got lucky dude. Lucky that you weren't the spirit haunting that car.

    QUIT USING MASONRY BLOCKS!:mad:

  20. That ghost pic is a fake.
    Guess its time to fess up about my NERD side. I am a member of an investigation group that that go to 'supposedly' haunted locations and tries to find something. There is a LOT of equipment we use and its a long and at times boring thing to do but it has its moments.

    The pic of the ghost in the truck has been examined by some photography experts and it is a photoshop job. This picture has been kicking around the internet for a lot of years now. I have even seen it in a 'ghost' book! Most ghost pics are fakes these days thanks to photoshop, its one of the reasons 'ghost' photos have become so damn common these days. Makes our job difficult.
    However, for your viewing pleasure here is a 'ghost in a car' photo that is believed to be real. Both the camera and negative (Crucial for verification) were examined and there was no explanation for this.
    Reputedly the person clearly sitting in the back seat is the mother of the lady who took the photo. The man seated in the front is her husband and this is said to be a few days after her mothers death. She swore that there was no one in the back of the car when she took the picture.

    Heres another, though I think its a case of pareidolia, making it an unintended fake. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareidolia this explains 99% of 'ghosts')
    One lady, a mother of 3 was killed in this accident. This has not been verified as a real 'anomaly', read the above link.......

    Cheers,
    Doc.

    PS, do I believe in ghosts? I do now, but I am still a skeptic, takes a LOT for me to believe something is real. If there is another possibility to explain something then thats what it is!
     
  21. if you look in the door of my T it sure does look like Frankenstein

    Most species, humans included, have noses that are finely tuned to the death of their own kind. To the tune of detecting the scent of blood or rot measured in parts-per-million. You probably had a very real episode of pure human instinct. Kinda cool actually. Other than the circumstance that produced it.
