The Rider – Real Ghost Story

Ronald was a truck driver and out on the road for another job. He stopped at a gas station for fuel and some food. He sat at the counter and ordered his food. While he was eating a beautiful woman dressed up really nice came in, sat beside him and started a conversation with him. They talked for awhile and when Ronald realized it was time for him to go he said goodbye and left the store. When he started the truck he looked at the store and there was the woman looking at him through the door. He rolled his window down and asked her what she wanted. She asked for a ride and said that she lived in the nearby town and did not want to walk there. Although it was close it was already two in the morning and it could be dangerous. Without hesitation he accepted.

The city was really close. Ten minutes after leaving the gas station they were at the entrance of her city. Pointing to a corner she asked him to stop and got off the truck. Ronald got scared when he saw that he was the right next to the wall of a cemetery.

"How can you stay here? Let's go, I'll take you home, I do not mind if is far away."- he said afraid to leave her there.

"I'm already home" - said the woman disappearing as she walked towards the cemetery wall. After telling his story to some people and talking to other truck drivers he found out that the ghost was a prostitute who lived in the city where he left her. She was raped and killed by a truck driver that picked her up in that gas station a couple years before. They say that her ghost is haunting truck drivers as a way of revenge. Today Ronald always goes around the road where he met the woman afraid to see her again.
