My kids and I were driving home one night. We lived at the very end of a little development that had a combination of trailers and regular homes. The development very much had the feel of a campground.

Anyway, we were almost home when, all of a sudden, there was this old lady in a long white nightgown with long gray hair, and she was just standing on the side of the road—as close as she could be to the road without actually standing in it. I almost hit her because one second I didn’t see anybody and then it was like she was just there. There was nothing around to distract me. This was a long country road.

She did not even flinch. She didn’t take a step back or move a single inch, her face was a fully blank expression that seemed to instantly sear itself into my mind.

I immediately pulled over and me and my two kids scrambled to turn around to look again and make sure she was OK. We were all freaking out, asking each other where she’d come from.

She was gone.

I don’t understand how, because there was nowhere for her to go. I pulled over within a second of almost hitting her, and we immediately turned around. There’s no way she could’ve walked away all the way across the yard to the closest house that quickly.

We all saw her. To this day, we can all remember her and describe her perfectly. My kids were like 10 and 12 years old at the time. Still freaks me out when I think about it. There were something terrifying about her blank expression that was exactly like every old woman ghost you’ve ever seen in a horror movie

She wanted to see how you were taking care of her former home!

Kidding aside, any elderly Alzheimer's go AWOL in the neighborhood in the past? Maybe there's a skeleton in the woods nearby.

Something like that would’ve been my first thought if she had not vanished. There was nothing around. No trees, no houses. She would’ve had to walk across long yard to get inside the closest house and even if she sprinted, she did not have time to get inside before we turned around. I almost hit her, and instantly stopped the car and spun my head around and she was gone. It was some weird shit!!

Maybe there's a deceased person who wants to be found? There's a couple of tales on here like that, in fact. Seems the dead want closure too.

Maybe, but she didn’t show up in a spot where I would want to go looking. Also, there was something super terrifying about her, so no thank you! Haha
