The gravel road

Louisiana · USA · Road

This gravel road well outside Lake Charles, Louisiana runs a long way alongside woodland, and people warn each other never to drive it after dark.

The person who wrote the account did it anyway, with a friend, and says they now understand why.

What is on the road is a truck. It comes up behind you and it runs you off, and drivers describe the lights before anything else.

A phantom vehicle that pushes you off the road is a distinct and modern category, and there are a handful of them in this archive. Unlike a figure at the roadside, it requires the witness to react, which means the account always includes what the driver did.

A gravel road at night with a set of headlights closing behind you is genuinely frightening whatever is driving, and the correct response to being tailgated on one is not to speed up.

The road is rural.
