[QUOTE="Daniel Knight, post: 234778, member: 1113"] Although I’ve had something strange happen, I’m still one of those sceptics that requires a ridiculous amount of proof before I can believe. The funny thing is, I really, really want to believe, I’m just far to cynical to be able to. My story goes as thus… My ex and I were travelling up to Ballarat from Melbourne to visit my mother up in the country. While it was nighttime, there were plenty of stars out so visibility was pretty good illuminating the grass land either side of the road. We were coming down a steep part of the road and I was driving pretty fast with no other cars about, when I saw the headlights pick up running sneakers right in front of me, going from one side to the other. I quickly slammed the breaks down so I wouldn’t hit the person, but the sneakers appeared to have vanished as they reached the headlights centre. I looked to where the shoes would have been if they had continued and couldn’t see anyone, and there certainly wasn’t anywhere for them to hide. As I continued driving I shook my head and quickly assumed I saw a rabbit. It was the only logical explanation. I looked to my girlfriend beside me and said “Sorry about that, I thought I saw something run out in front of me.” She looked at me as if I was crazy and said “Yeah, that guy.” “What?” And it turns out that she saw the lower half of someone running across in front wearing jeans. She had then had looked at me to see if I’d seen him so I’d break, and by the time she looked back again they had vanished. It was a very strange experience and something that (needless to say) freaked us both out for the remainder of the trip. To this day, I still can’t explain what either of us saw. [/QUOTE]
