The gravel road
Louisiana · United States · Road
A long way out of the city, running along the woods. People warn you never to take it at night, and the writer of this account did.
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.
