Roadtrip story
Hello y'all, I just got back from a road trip from Melbourne to Adelaide, but I had a really creepy encounter.
Context: I am 14 years old and travelled with my two parents and one grandparent.
It started with the car's boot not closing, which seemed like a normal thing. But the weird part is that it was an easy fix; my dad somehow did it, ruled it out, but then tried it again in a last attempt and it worked. We were stuck for an hour before being able to start. When we reached Beaufort about two hours later, we had a puncture in the left rear wheel. Well, Dad got it fixed by a mechanic in about an hour or so.
Soon we went on, and everything was normal until nightfall. We stopped at a gas station outside Nhill. I was standing outside the toilets just watching the road trains go by when I heard a 'crick'. I went to explore, thinking maybe it was a cat, a dog, or a dingo. It wasn't. I felt something watching me as I went into the dark. It felt like whatever lured me out there had come up behind me. I turned around swiftly to see no one, but I looked forward, and along the tree line of the plains was the silhouette of someone. They were muscular, but not in a good way like the Greeks—someone who was built full-on like a serial killer. I didn't know if the creature I saw was holding something, but it felt like it. That was the first creature I encountered.
When we drove on, there was a crash on the Wimmera Highway where a truck had crashed and the driver sadly passed away. We detoured through Edenhope into Naracoorte. We stopped at a fuel station in Naracoorte, just a 24-hour card-payment pump in a darkly lit side patch. When I stepped out, once again, a tall, long, skinny figure with a white face and a long nose was standing there. I believe in this stuff, so I remembered the rule Gramps told me: Don't fear it, don't acknowledge it, just act like it doesn't exist because it feeds off you. Just because it is 2 AM, I'm gonna type like a caveman.
So we reached Murray Bridge and I was looking out my window. I could see a woman all in white just standing motionless in the swampy part of the river. She was just waving her hands, but she had her hair in front of her face and didn't look like she was in distress. I asked my dad to look over, and well, he didn't see anything. That's about it. Let me know what I experienced.
