A Car Pulls Up Behind A Truck On Highway At Night

When it comes to my scariest truck-driving memory, reminds me of the last time I was in New Mexico. That day, I was coming from Colorado. It was a long day, and after driving for over 3 hours, I generally take a short break to loosen up. I parked on the side, took a piss, and stretched all my muscles. I had specifically stopped at an off-ramp, mainly to shut down for some sleep. At first, I had some trouble falling asleep. It had to do with the risks that I was putting myself into. I had heard so many accounts of my fellow drivers, who had stopped at such random spots. And then woken up to being attacked by some animal, or burglars, or some creepy unexplainable phenomenon.

But I really needed some rest. And a quick short one to be honest. I was not planning on sleeping for hours. All I needed was a power nap. So I set alarm for 15 minutes and dozed off. Before sleeping, I did make sure that the windows were closed and the doors were locked tight. Maybe it was the fatigue, but I slipped into sleep in a jiffy.


Not sure how long had passed, but when I opened my eyes, it was getting a little dark. More importantly, I woke up to a car pulling up behind me and turning off its lights. I started getting this really eerie feeling that I needed to get the hell out of Dodge. I decided to not make any panic-stricken movements. I did not want to alarm them at all. So I stayed put in my position.


I kept a close eye on the movements of the car behind me. Not the car of course, but the driver inside. But for some reason or the other, I could not see anyone around. The windshield was a darker tint so I couldn’t see if anyone was inside. But nevermind. I did not care as long as no one moved out with a weapon or something.


After a couple of minutes, I leaped into the driver's seat, started the truck, and started hauling it onto the highway. As I was taking off, I looked into the driver’s side mirror and saw that somebody was standing by the side of the trailer. It was in the blindspot so I couldn’t spot him before. My chicken lights were the only way I was able to see him. I chugged on down to the rest area about 10 miles down the road. And I decided that I will never stop on random points again.


My story was nothing as compared to what others have been through. And maybe if I would have not woken up in time, the man would have attacked me or stolen something from the trailer. Just never stop.

Unusual Activity in the Skies

Okay so I’ll list some states. Firstly New Mexico, then Nevada and Utah. These are some of the states that to this day, I still see random stuff in the skies that I simply cannot explain. Sometimes lights rapidly change directions, and take off at blinding speeds, but no sound barrier being broken.  As a trucker, I have also seen some lights hovering over the desert, several miles off the interstate. Then it suddenly takes off and the lights are cut out. Not only that, but there are various shapes and sizes of it from what I can make out, while I drive at night. Yes, the visibility is low, but that helps me see those shape of lights distinctly. Just so you know, I know the military aircraft pretty well, and some of the lights were more than likely those aircraft. But some of them absolutely can not be any military aircraft currently in mainstream use. Conventional aircraft do not move like that. The most vivid one would be at an off ramp in New Mexico. One day, I was driving for ho...

Creatures in the woods near Stranrear

I was about eleven, and my sister was thirteen. We slept in the living room of a little caravan. We used to stay near Stranraer. There wasn’t much to do; the campsite had no amenities. I’d pass time playing with my sister, taking walks, or playing the SNES. It was 1998, so Castlevania and Donkey Kong Country weren’t nostalgic - they were just lame. I couldn’t wait to get home and back to the PC to get my Theme Hospital on. But mostly, I’d read. I had a collection of books about ghosts, UFOs, and cryptids. I’d pick them up at library sales or in charity shops. My favorites were the unexplained true stories, like the Dover Demon or the Gulf Breeze incident. There was a quarry on the other side of the site; sometimes at night, I’d pretend the two red lights were the eyes of the Mothman, who’d swoop down to terrorize my family. What I’m getting at here is, I was a kid and had an active imagination, but I never believed anything spooky would happen to me. that if something extraordinary hap...

Paranormal Experience from a Trucker

So as a trucker, it is primarily the UFO and supernatural stuff that I have experienced or witnessed out on the interstate. Within the first few months of driving if I remember correctly, was in Pennsylvania. In my first couple of years, I was a night driver, so sometimes it was hard to see things clearly. But the one incident I remember in Pennsylvania, was me trying to follow a flatbedder who was hauling serious shit through the mountains. At one point, I started to fall back on my seat, because I could literally feel the van starting to lean a little. It wasn't long after, that I reached down to take a swing off the handy monster I had, and I looked up to see, that there was a guy standing off to the shoulder of my truck, just outside the tree line. He was wearing what appeared to be some type of a soldier's uniform. It looked like from a revolutionary war era. He had a musket too. As I approached him, I could see him staring right at me, and then he started walking back int...
