when my brother came back from tour he saw a motorcycle rider without a head on 95. that's some gnarly shit...i mean i've seen dead people down the street by the liquor store and back in philly, but not all ripped apart on the road. the best roadkill i've seen is a dead coyote, but at one point there at my bus stop in high school there was one stretch of road that had three dead squirrels, a dead raccoon, and a frozen deer carcass. that was like no man's land for animals. what else? the oscar myer weiner truck? an asshole motorcycler doing gymnastics on his bike and falling over at 2mph?

Fuckin' A. Mine is way so mild compared to that. But OK, here's mine anyways:
I grew up in So Cal, and so when I moved to Hartford, CT - the winter thing was all new and stuff. One time, a bunch of us went skiing someplace in VT.
I saw this sign on the road that said, "FROST HEAVES"
I go, WTF? I know what dry heaves are, but whaaaaa?
OH! Ice that goes under the asphalt, and expands to screw up the road - ya know - heaves.
I have seen a few accidents on the road before. Some were during the incident and some afterwards. A few years back I remember seeing a car on the side of the road and it was burning. I forget if the owner was there. A thousand yards up the road there was this small boat on the side of the road. It slipped off the trailer somehow. Nothing really weird but it was different to see both on the same stretch of road.

A looong time ago, like in the 70's (yeah - i am gettin that old) I used to see this black Toyota Celica cruzin' around the WLA/CC/MDR area. The plate said U-N-C-O. I laffed my ass off when I saw that, and I go, like HEY - are them plates even legal? Anyone seen this dude lately? Must be / hafta be on another car by now, but, like, I'd keep plates like that forever.

I had to think about this for awhile. I hitchhiked around the country for a year when I was about 18/19, and I saw some really wacked-out stuff, but by far, one of the weirdest things I've seen on the road happened just about every spring in Pennsylvania when I was younger: these caterpillars, or as they were sometimes called, "tree worms" or "gypsy moths" would create these giant cocoons that would absolutely cover every tree in sight. Disgusting enough, but in spring, they would pupate(?)--worms literally dropped from the sky and when the population was highest, the road would look like it was undulating itself as thousands of caterpillars made their way across it. The crunching sounds created by car wheels rolling over them were absolutely revolting.

I've seen some cars flipped over and things in that area, and the usual road kill. Some strange things have happened, though, like driving at 1am, in dense fog, down 280, with my friend telling me that driving is just like playing video games (he's the one driving!). Another time on 280, it's late at night and no one is on the road, we're driving along smoking some pot. we notice some headlights behind us and don't really think anything of it. The next thing we know, this dude on a crotch rocket is next to our car, kicking the door. before we can fully take in the situation, he takes off and we are lke "ok no more pot smoking till we get to Santa Cruz".

on a road trip from malaysia to thailand (or thailand to malaysia, don't remember) i saw a motorcycle accident - the guy crashed head on into a jeep type vehicle and flew over it. his leg was laying about 10 feet away from him.
Summer 2000
Me and my ex-fiance were driving back to K.C from L.A when OUT OF NOWHERE I got the gnarliest diarrhea I've ever encountered.
Before we left my mom got us Del Taco and we all feasted esp. me and that del scorcho sauce.
Anyway it was about 1 am and I'm on interstate 17 between phoenix and flagstaff when I started feelin the vibe. I was nowhere near a gas station so I was fucked. I looked over and my ex fiance was sleeping so that gave me the opportunity to release some pressure and cut a few controlled farts. After about 10 farts they started getting hotter and hotter so I knew time was runnin out. 15 steamy farts later the car was hotboxed with fart fumes. I didnt want to crack the window in fear of waking my girl but the putrid funk from my azzcheeks crept into her nostrils like steak fumes in a Tom and Jerry cartoon. She woke up like,"Holy shit! What happened?" At this point I see a sign with the intl symbol for gas so I feverishly exited and headed east. There were no lights and the gas station was 3 miles away. I'm doing 100 and my ex fiance is laughing her azz off. I was like "fuck it" and skidded to a complete stop in the middle of fucking nowhere.
I bust out of my car and do the squatty on the side of the road. Since this was my debut at not shitting in a toilet I took off my shorts and underwear completely to avoid possible self sabotage. It was dark and 1:20am so I wasnt even sketched out. I felt like I took a bong hit when the beast from within came del scorching out of my azzhole. I can hear my girl crying in laughter as the last sqirts made their way out of my overstressed anus. Just as I was about to wipe with my sock, a set of headlights come out of nowhere. My girl gives me this "Oh shit this went from funnier to holy shit" look and puts her seat horizontal as to not be seen with me. I'm looking at the lights trying to guage how long its gonna take him to notice whats up.
I'm thinking 20 seconds so I wipe and start dressing. Boxers on, no problem. First short leg, cool! Second short leg, STUCK! I was hopping around frantically trying to get my foot through this hole hopping in my pile of squirliness in the process. "The truck is too close now...must take evasive action!" I thought to myself as I'm trying to hide behind my 94 geo prism. The truck goes from 80 to about 10 as he kicks on his brights and illuminates my ghost white ass. I felt like a 'just kidding' video with a dash of 'jackass'(MTV show) thrown in for added hickness when this dude rolled by in what seemed like 10 minutes. This dude's looking at me like "What's going on here?" and I'm just like,"Fuuuuuuck!" He finally passes and I hop back into the vehicle only to be funked up by the shit caked all over my black reebok classics. I do a u-turn and headed back to the main highway chucking the classics out the window. We get on the highway and 15 seconds later we come over a hill and there were truck stops and restaurants everywhere. I was soo bummed! We started laughing about what just went down when FOOM! Round 2.
This felt worse than the first time. I exit the freeway running 3 red lights and barrel into the gas station parking lot. With no classics I'm hunched over waddling in this parking lot stepping in oil and glass and shit not caring as everyone is staring at me thinking I'm having heroin withdrawls. I finally plant my azz on the trainspottingesque toilet and released my fury once again. I was up in that bitch for at least 20 minutes; balls feeling like they got kicked, literally and figuratively, as I marinate on the American Standard (or was it Bemis?).

dude i seriously had to cover my mouth from laughing out loud on this one!!! shit stories are the best!!!
just a couple of months ago, me and 4 dudes rolled up to mammoth, and i swear, for 6 hours in that SUV someone was passing gas. so it was non-stop smell the whole way there. one guy had diarrhea. so we pulled up to this Arby's. this one chick that worked there was totally flirting with all of us. so we decided to leave her a gift. tom went into the bathroom, did his thing and kinda flooded the toilet a little, but most of his shit went down. then i went after we ate, and i did my business, except this time when i flushed it the thing started to overflow, and i could see all the leafy vegetables i had the night before, i felt kinda proud that i had such healthy looking shit. but i was worried cuz the water kept flooding over the top of the bowl, so i jammed out of there and ran into the SUV, and i was like, let's get the fuck out of here.
but what i didn't notice was that tom ran right back in after me. we were all in the SUV, and i'm telling them that i flooded the toilet, and then 2 minutes later tom comes running the fuck back out, gets into the SUV and peels out. he told us that he saw my leafy shit, saw the toilet overflowing, then, instead of sitting down, he squatted over the toilet and blew diarrhea out his ass, but he didn't squat far enough so basically his stream hit the top of the toilet and all over the seat and all over the tank.
we tore that shit up. we were hoping maybe that whack ass girl working at arby's would have to clean it up later.

Unko is the Japanese word for doodie, muck, poop, cahcah, dung, feces, excrement, dropping, manure. I didn't even use the word shit.

Okay, first of all, 5.92, that is the most well-told, funniest story I've heard in a long time. Secondly, I looked up the word 'unco' and the definition was "strange or foreign" and I also found a weird site that had some weird plays on words "This site is as unco as..." So between you guys and the "strange word dictionary" unco means strange shit. I'm fucking mystified. Thanks alot.

That was funny as hell!! I started cracking up when the 'gift giving' and 'leafy' metaphors came into play.

Thanks. I only break out that story on special occasions. The only other story thatsequally as gnarly but not funny that pertains to this thread was when I almost got killed in greece by a bunch of people who looked like danny terio (sp?) and adrian zmed from dance fever.

That's F-ing funny, dude. I don't 'laugh out loud' very often, but that was god-damned funny. That's the defacation equivalent of gang-banging the toilet.
I've flooded plenty of toilets, but not under those kinds of circumstances. That story's gold.
Is it only me or has anyone else noticed that there seems to be a fixation on excrement on the Giant Robot boards?
I think anywhere you go, most non-tightassed people are down with shit stories.(pun intended)

<FONT FACE=arial SIZE=2 COLOR=black>I had to check this word out for myself, and lo and behold, it does mean strange, or unknown. Unco Unko would be a fantastic phrase! I don't get the pronunciation of it though. The first syllable 'un' is shown as an upside down 'e' with an apostrophe ahead of it and a wierd 'n' kinda symbol. The 'e' symbol is pronounced as the u's in 'humdrum' and the 'n' symbol is pronounced as the 'n' in the word 'ink'. I find it very hard to make that sound. Would it be like, "Uhhhhhhh-eeeeeeeen-ko"? I'm guessing it should sound just like "uh-n", but they used the wrong 'e' symbol.</FONT>

since everything i start turns to shit, literally, i guess i'll just have to play along...
this has nothing to do with the weirdest thing i've seen on the road but the weirdest place i took a shit was in a ucla parking lot in westwood behind hollywood video. i was skating with dan and pat, late night style, like 3 or 4 in the morning and we're all the way down on gayley when my stomach starts gurgling, the kind that makes you stop midstride. i fight it off and keep skating, after all the only place to take a shit in a toilet at this hour is my apt at the top of the hill on gayley, about a mile or so up the street. so we were down behind hollywood video when it starts again, and this time it's not going away. it's coming out whether i'm ready for it or not and it doesn't care if my pants are around my waist or my ankles. think fast...don't have time to look for a newspaper, just a bush to shit in. so i skate as fast as i can to this little island and jump into these bushes, drop em and start shitting hard style. uhhh...it was gross, like a mound or a pyramid of shit right below me, but i kept standing up higher and higher so it didn't reach my ass. so in my haste i didn't bother looking for something to wipe with, evacuation was the only objective. so i look around my feet...nothing...i lookin the bushes...nothing. there's no way these pants are going back up after a nasty shit in the woods but lo and behold! the sprinklers start at the nick of time and i wash it all out with water. i pulled my pants back up and skated until dawn.

You can always count on shit stories to be funny. It looks like you got the white trash (I can say that shit) bedou (sp?) action up in dat azz. I like the part where you had to rise up to avoid the mounting pile of shit. Are there any outdoorsmen/women who know the proper techniques from dropping bombs not on a toilet. Fuck I feel like a straight up vet but if the same shit went down(literally) I still would feel awkward about not getting buck ass naked bufore the unleashing commemced.

I had a roomate that use to go to Ross and look for all the pairs of JNCO he could find. Straight up uncool. It was hella funny though because he had mad scams going on, like switching tags or buying something for cheap and getting the tag from something else and returning it for more money.

I'm not sure if the 'e' sound comes after the 'k'. In the dictionary it shows the 'co' part as 'kõ'with a hyphen over the 'o'. I think that just produces a 'ko' sound. Oh well, this word is too cool. I think I'll use it during an interview for a Japanese company.
I do not know what this JNCO thing is though..

That whole JNCO thing was not part of my original post. That is very odd that it appears that way. Anywho--JNCO are a denim label. Did people really think they were cool?
Once I was driving back home (on the east coast) and saw this commotion ahead in the road. When we got closer we saw people standing around in the middle of this road in the middle of nowhere. Some of the women were just balling their eyes out. When we got even closer we saw a huge saint bernard dog lieing in the middle of the road with a puddle of blood the size of the whole lane.
Creepy shit man.

One day when, my friend and I were driving down my street at a nice relaxing pace. As we got further down the block there were some people playing with their dog on the sidewalk. We kept driving along and the next thing we know the dog meanders right in front of the car the moment that we are driving by. Needless to say we ran the poor animal over. It was one of those slow motion, delayed reaction kind of incidents. The whole thing was over before we really knew exactly what had happened. Luckily after we felt the bump of the dog underneath us, the animal jumped up and ran back to the sidewalk. We stopped the car and went to check on the dog and it seemed cool and the owners were a little freaked out, but everything was ok in the end.

ps. i ran over a rabbit in my neighborhood once. the damn thing kept running back and forth in front of my car and wouldn't get out of the way. i never felt so bad in my life. well, maybe not never, and it wasn't the weirdest thing i've ever seen on the road so i guess this post has absolutely nothing to do with anything. crud.
"how is paul hogan, like, 30?"
One early Saturday morning I was cruising down the 405 Southbound and some poor guy must have fallen asleep going northbound since I saw his car, which must have been doing at least 50, turn into and hit the median really really hard. The car hopped into the air and moved laterially and then I didn't see it because I had driven by already going the other direction. I called the cops though from my cell phone -- I probably should have stopped but it was so weird. It was really eery. I hope he didn't die but it was an incredible crash because it was so quiet and peaceful and it all happened so fast.

I was mashin' down some major street in Long Beach back in 97 or so, my friend and I had just blazed some trees and I was stoned as fuck. Anyways, we were stopped at the light. This dirty homeless walk up the the curb, whips out his johnson, and proceeds to urinate onto the street right in front of everyone. This was about 1 or 2 'o'clock in the afternoon and the streets were packed. I laughed so hard I almost pissed MY pants.

A pale homeless lady depantsed at a bus stop at Santa Monica and 14th Monday, flashing numerous innocent motorists who merely wished to return home without the interference of indecent exposure. The gangly woman apparently had an itch that needed attention, somewhere in the lower torso, specifically back and to the left, witnesses said. The green sweatpants she wore daily obstructed her immediate relief, so instead of slipping a hand past the elastic waist band, she pulled down the offending garments revealing unwashed, creamy, and cottage cheese like, flesh. she was not, a witness recalls, wearing any underpants. "I was shocked and stunned at the event," he said. "I've never expected to see such flagrant disregard for the virgin eyes and childlike innocence of out-of-state migrants in Los Angeles. Maybe in church confessionals back East, but never here." The suspect is guesstimated to be in the vicinity of 65-80 years old.
I saw a mullet in a convertible the other day. When we'd be at the stoplight his mullet was like a windsock. Panes and helos would be able to adjust accordingly before landing.

In Vancouvers notorious East-End, I was in a friends truck riding along Hastings St. when to my right I saw a homeless guy squating down and taking a shit in the middle of the sidewalk. His pants were around his ankles and a stream of urine was flowing across the cement. Not a pretty sight.

I saw a guy in an a mobile bed (the kind you can move around with a little hand control set) cruising down a street right off the highway. He was still lying down, on his side, and had his head propped up on his hand to see where he was going. He still had his sheets on!! I totally thought "hospital escapee!!"
I also saw a posse of transvestite hitchikers just outside of SanFran. There was like eight of them. I don't know who they thought would pick them all up, or would have a big enough car to hold them all.
Once in Japan, as I was driving to work, I saw a homeless guy walking on the side of the road. No big deal. It was maybe a little unusual 'cause this was a little out in the country and he was just cruisin' along the rice fields. As we got closer, I noticed that his fly was open and his, umm,errr, "little homeless friend" was hanging out, swinging away in the warm early summer breeze. I guess it was just TOO humid for the poor little guy.

Me and my ex were exiting her car when we heard a popping sound and then a loud hiss. I told her to take cover as I went to investigate. Lo and behold a man's body stopped skidding right behind the car. I then told her to call 911 and I went to check him out, certified CPR and first aid sucks (not that I could really do anything). So I approach the guy and check for consciousness. Then, the death rattle. Very creepy. His body went limp. Then a paramedic who lived down the road showed up. He was pronounced dead at the hospital. Little rich girl was going 45 in a 30 zone. He was running across the street, it was dark. Wrong place wrong time.
What was the hissing sound.

mine is kinda boring. i was driving home from work and traffic was just worse than usual. as i slowly made my way down the road, i saw a VW bus on fire. and the driver was just standing there helplessly watching his vehicle burn. :(
Just this past summer I saw a drunk driver smash into 3 cars parked on the street in my neighborhood. Then, as he proceeded to flee the scene he actually understeered on a right turn and hit a fourth vehicle parked on the opposite side of the street.
After seeing all this I couldn't help but just be thankful I wasn't on my way home that night because I used to always make a left turn at that corner.

A weird freak boy that crashed the hostel I was staying in in Milan for a few days, and stayed up all night stealing cigarettes from a guy that was staying in the room legitimately, and harassing you if you got up in the middle of the night to pee. He was the most detached, slow moving, weird bastard I'ver ever seen. He played Gameboy a lot, and I never once saw him eat except for the pastry I gave him. He talked to himself and smiled at the air.

i have a shit story. i guess it could be a what is the weirdest shit you've seen on the road....but not for me, for the people who saw me.
two friends from LA came to visit last sept. they wanted to climb fuji, and i never had either so we decided to hit it. we climned with a hawaiian guy named mike we met at the 5th station when we were waitng for nightfall to head up. the weather was super nasty. after about half way we were inside a cloud. the wind was crazy too so rain didnt just fall down from above, but also from the left and right, and from below as well. it was super cold too. we were climbing past the 'official' climbing season, but we only saw 4 other climbers all night. a few of the mountian huts were open but they charged $20 an hour to rest. fuck that, we'll press on. anyway, i'm getting sidetracked....back to the shit.
the next morning matt, sameer and i ran down the mountain. mike is kinda old and decided to take an easier route. when we got near the bottom the path leveled out and merged with a service road that lead down to some kind of resort-y place. i had to shit like mad. i had eaten groos snack-y food all night, and some instant kimchi noodles before our descent. all that got mixed up and there was something unco brewing.
it was a rather well maintained dirt road, noone in sight. hadnt seen anyone all morning. i told my boys i'd catch up and prepared for a roadside squat. it was a huge load, very vegan loaf but with more fury. [if you read the old posts in the thread, i had a similar escape from the rising pyramid thing happening too- ].
my friends had just rounded the corner out of sight when i heard intense laughter. oh crap...a car? i thought, then i heard the noise. a motorcycle came around the bend with an old japanese dude riding it. he smiled and honked a few times, laughing. i thought it was over, but i was sorely mistaken, for, with the next wave of histerical laughter from around the bend came a family car with a bunch of kids. half of them didnt seem to notice in time to see my fat white ass being frantically covered or the pile of feces between my boots......the second family car folowing them managed to slow down and take the whole scene in.......
it was a great way to cap off fuji i suppose, but i had to hear about it all the back to tokyo.....

A deer carcass that had a streak of entrails & blood that went for 500 meters.

I've taken to glancing down at the skidmarks on the freeways. People lock up their brakes all the time and leave HUGE skid marks into K-rails, shoulders and sometimes OFF CLIFFS! It's really freaky because there's physical evidence long after a lot of incidents that you can view at any time. All you do is look down to see where someone's life either changed or ended.
back in LA, i was going north on the 405. usually gets slow around the 10 and westwood area...
traffic got REALLY slow, and i just assumed it was an accident... as i closer to the "scene," it appreared as if a pinata exploded on the freeway. lots of brightly colored objects strewn across multiple lanes of traffic.
as i got even closer and drove OVER that scattered goods, i realized what they were: sex toys! purple dildos, french ticklers, etc. so colorful!
poor porno shop delivery van didn't shut its back door all the way. ah well.

The remnants of a airport shuttle van explosion I witnessed on the 405N/105W interchange is still visible after almost 4 years. I wonder if those folks made their flight.
The gnarliest thing I've seen was in Manila in '85. A kid, probably 8 or 9 was run over by a semi-truck. It looked like he was taking a nap with one ear on the pavement and one of the truck's wheels resting on the other.

last month I rode a bus from chicago to madison. fell asleep and woke up somewhere in wisconsin. there was a huge, bright yellow pharoah standing in a cornfield, with a huge, bright yellow pyramid thing behind it. they were easily 10ft tall each.
in my sleep-befuddled state my first thought was "am I still dreaming?"
my second thought was "are those made of CHEESE?"
never did find out what they were.

i do this all the time too. the other day i noticed a tire mark on the 101 from a bigrig trailer that just kept going. must have been 1/2 a mile long. with a few bends and turns along the way. about half way through it it looked like the tires were sharply jolted to the right a few inches. but again, the mark went on for quite a way.

I recently watched as a van plowed into an Accord. It was a full size Chevy. The side of the Accord was completely caved in. If there had been a passenger they probably would've died instantly. Glass flew for 40-50 feet. The car had to be moved, but since it was the side of the car and it's front wheel drive he was able to drag the severely negative-cambered (it's was more flat to the ground than anything else) Accord to the side of the road.
The cops were there in less than ten minutes. It was a white nieghborhood.

A dead wolf.
Just got back from LA a few minutes ago.
Made a quick 1 day trip to see my moms.
On the way back I almost hit this dude walking on the side of the 5 in the middle of nowhere at like 2:30 am. After I almost hit him, I notice the blinking lights on the horizon. I'm presuming thats his broken down car and he's walking back to the next truckstop which was like 5 miles behind me. A mile after the near miss I pass the car and about a quarter mile over the bend was a gas station, he went the wrong way. As I write this, I can almost put money on it that he's still walking through the darkness against traffic on the 5.
Afterwards I stopped in Santa Nella and ate Del Taco. I didnt get the shitsssss......

Two years ago my friend, ex and I were on our way to the Detroit Auto Show, and we hit a huge traffic jam. When we got to the accident we saw like 10 cars scattered, including a Mustang which another car had driven through the side of (like the entire middle section of the car was gone, Im sure the driver/passenger died) there were people all over the place, and I saw a few people crying hysterically. And even from the other side of the interstate we could see red on the pavement, and a couple cars flipped over, and a unknown wreck on fire...well smoldering, formerly on fire.
I've also seen 3 or 4 campers flipped. Weirdest accidents you'll ever see, housewears everywhere, and insulation all over the place.
And finally one time I saw one of those case/capsule looking things people put on top on their cars had broken loose and gone through the car behind it. I didn't see the actual accident, but there was still smoke everywhere, and traffic was still moving at full speed and hitting their brakes when we rolled past it. That thing went through the car behind it like a plastic missle, I never drive behind people with those on their roofs since then

and the worse is I'm a cat person

in college i was driving towards school down the main drag and stopped at a light. there was a man with dreds and a knit hat sitting on a bench at the corner right next to my car. he pulled a cob of corn out of his jacket pocket and started eating the corn on the cob. to this day i still think about that and it cracks me up for some reason.

a couple a years ago, on a road trip to california my cousins, brother and i stopped on the side of the road to take a group leak, nothing too special, it was in new mexico i believe.
well a red pickup pulls up and a guy hops out the back and begins to pee as well, i am finishing up and my fam is already in the van ready to go.
as i walk away i hear hootin from the pickup and i just brush it off but i look over and from the corner of my eye i see the guy standing wigglin about with his dick in his hand, it looked like he was rubbing one out as fast as he could.
i booked and got in the van and just drove as fast as i could.

my friend told me later that they must have just been sexing it up and male dogs tend to leave when they've had enough even if their boner hasn't fully reduced.

His eyes had white contacts in them, make-up running down his cheeks and bright pink eyeshadow up to his eyebrows. He had a small box that hung on a necklace with a Barbie sitting inside.

oh man, i that street was in sega saturn's sega rally championship!
around eleven thirty last night
below freezing temperatures
saw a gritty dude with nothing but a pair of blue jeans and two back tattoos
walking down the street by the detention center freeezing his ass off trying to thumb a ride
i kept on driving
one time I was jogging through a residential area & saw something peculiar in the street...it was someone's pet cockatiel, I presume. I coaxed it over to the sidewalk so it wouldn't get hit. it let me pet it & play with it for a while, while I was wondering how to decipher where it came from. then suddenly it bit me in the thumb & broke the skin! I put him back down & said "well alright then! sorry I cared enough to get you out of the street!" [yes, I said this out loud...to the bird] I finished my jog & came back the same way, but he was gone.
I was on the 99 last week driving from Sacramento and this dog was running down the freeway against traffic all happy with his tongue hangin out. I almost hit it but it kept running down the road after me honking repeatedly. That dog HAS to be hambuger meat right now.

reading the newly resurrected ghost stories thread makes me want to bump this one back up as well.
this might be a combo ghost/weird shit on the road story.
so about a month ago, me and my friends go into boston for a night of comedy club and bar hopping. it was good times. we gear up to drive back home around 1am or so......we drop off our friend who lives in somerville (just outside boston, but still within the metropolitan area) and take the highway back over to the other highway that'll get us back to our hometown.
on the way up the highway (93 north for you boston folks who might know what i'm talking about) we pass by the burnt out shell of what used to be this old disco, FACES. after a big fire, it basically never reopened, fell into disrepair and is now basically just a shell of a building with a HUGE FUCKING TREE growing out the middle of it's caved in roof. naturally, we got to talking about creepy shit, and how funny it would be to go ghost hunting in a place like that, perhaps encountering some roller disco ghosts or something.
after dropping off our friend, we're rolling 4 deep and just before we hit the exit ramp onto Rt. 2, the longish stretch of road over to the next highway to get back home, we hit some of the thickest fucking, can't-see-10 ft.-ahead-of-us fog, we've ever encountered in our lives. the fog was so thick that we drove past the on-ramp to 95 south, our highway home TWICE. we actually had to bang 2 U-ey's because of the fog.
by this time, we're kinda nervously laughing to ourselves that the roller disco ghosts were angry at us and were trying to fog-attack our car or something.
so we get back onto 95 south and we're all clear. the fog has completely lifted, just like that. we get onto the offramp for our town, and the fog hits us again. and we're like "here we go again"
and out of the goddamn thick-ass fog, at just a little after 1am, on the goddamn HIGHWAY OFFRAMP, out steps a COMPLETELY GRAY OLD MAN WALKING ALONG THE MIDDLE OF THE FUCKING ROAD.
and when i say COMPLETELY GRAY, that's what i fucking meant. gray hair, gray jacket, gray pants, gray shoes. fucking walking out in the middle of a completely fogged out highway off-ramp in the middle of the night. like you do.
needless to say, four college/post college age adults screamed our fucking asses off at a goddamn ghostly old fog person that night.
i was fucking wired that night, couldn't fall asleep for another couple hours after that.

Well dead animals arn't that far from the norm, but I remember once in DE it was on the news that people in a local town paniced over a what they thought was a road kill gorilla. It turned out a drunk walking home from a costume party in the summer was killed in a hit and run. It was funny, the artical stated that the police assume the drived fled from fear of having hit a real animal escaped from a zoo.....yeah cause the nearest zoo to the little hick town was in the next state.
Which town did this happen in? I used to reside in Newark.
I can't really recall, it was lower Delaware down by the beachs. While that would seem like shit you'd hear from Newark with the college and all it wasn't, I was living in Newark when it happen. Which part were you in?

Once, on the way driving to Reno, I saw a road kill bear. Bummed me out deeply.
Then on the way back home, and real close to the same spot, I saw another dead road kill bear!
I have seen all kinds of Road Kill, but had never seen a dead bear, seeing two in one trip was hectic.
Once, while driving down I-5(Oregon) a strange cloud appeared on the freeway before me. Before I knew what hit me, a buzzing drumroll erupted all over my windshield.
The windshield was yellow with bug guts, so thick I had to run my windshield wipers and mist several times, just to clear out enough to see. All I could see was mushy yellow guts.

years ago a man jumped off the overpass and got hit by a bakery truck directly in front of me, i saw what i thought was a big sack of clothes and swerved to avoid it and this spherical object just missed my tire..it looked like a wet eviscerated opossum....
learned in the news the next day a guy lost his job and jumped, was hit and decapitated by the bakery truck
yuck

Driving out of Red Rocks after sundown-the park is closed and it's completely black. The BF says to me, "Slow down, I think I saw something" I'm thinking, "Hell NO", but I slow down anyway.
I'm looking at the rearview mirror, when out of the darkness, two figures slowly come running to the car...it's something out of a David Lynch film.
Turns out that these 2 dudes were 4 wheeling and flipped their car-they've been hiking for 4 hours and would've been hiking for probably another 3-4 if it weren't for us.
I rather liked this one: driving down DeLongpre, crossing Highland-at the corner outside the Vintage clothing store, 2 young guys tap dancing a storm up. And doing it very well. Apparently they're waiting for someone in the store, because one of them stops and goes inside.

Good thing those people actually needed help and didn't pull out a gun or try to scam you when you let them into the car.

The last time I was in LA, I was driving past a thrift store, and I saw an obese elderly man walking out of a used clothing store wearing nothing but a wife beater and tighty whites. I guess he sold his street clothes.

I was thinking that the whole time, but I had a small pick up truck with a cab in the back, so they had to ride in the back.
