Now for the story of the "Ghost Car" ...
This happened about a month ago just outside of Cocodrie, a
little town in the bayou country of Louisiana, and while it sounds
like an Alfred Hitchcock tale, it's real.
This out of state traveler was on the side of the road,
hitchhiking on a real dark night in the middle of a thunderstorm.
Time passed slowly and no cars went by. It was raining so hard he
could hardly see his hand in front of his face. Suddenly he saw a
car moving slowly, approaching and appearing ghostlike in the rain.
It slowly and silently crept toward him and stopped.
Wanting a ride real bad the guy jumped in the car and closed
the door; only then did he realize that there was nobody behind the
wheel, and no sound of an engine to be heard over the rain. Again
the car crept slowly forward and the guy was terrified, too scared
to think of jumping out and running.
The guy saw that the car was approaching a sharp curve and,
still too scared to jump out, he started to pray and begging for
his life; he was sure the ghost car would go off the road and in
the bayou and he would surely drown! But just before the curve a
shadowy figure appeared at the driver's window and a hand reached
in and turned the steering wheel, guiding the car safely around the
bend. Then, just as silently, the hand disappeared through the
window and the hitchhiker was alone again!
Paralyzed with fear, the guy watched the hand reappear every
time they reached a curve. Finally the guy, scared to near death,
had all he could take and jumped out of the car and ran to
town.
Wet and in shock, he went into a bar and voice quavering,
ordered two shots of whiskey, then told everybody about his
supernatural experience. A silence enveloped and everybody got
goose bumps when they realized the guy was telling the truth (and
not just some drunk).
…. For the rest of the story find the cache, the ending is on
the cover of the log book.
Once you find this cache and get back to your computer, you are
REQUIRED to include a joke in your "Found It" log entry ...
to make the Lion Laugh ... or else the Lion will send the Ghost Car
after you! (Only "clean" jokes please)
Just in case you can't think of a good joke, I've include a
bunch of booklets with One Lion-ers in the cache.
Want to hear all these great jokes as they appear, then sign up

(Special thanks to "f-trup" for sending me the Ghost Car Story
and inspiring me to place this cache.)
