A true South African ghost story

A man was hitch hiking on a very dark night in the middle of a storm.

The night was rolling by and there was hardly a car on the road. The storm was so strong that he could hardly see his feet in front of him. Suddenly a car came towards him and stopped.

Without thinking, he got in and closed the door,just to realize that therewas nobody behind the steering wheel. The car moved off slowly. He looked ahead and saw a curve in the road.

Scared, he started praying, begging for his life. He was terrified. Justbefore hitting the curve a hand appeared through the window and turned the steering wheel. The man, now paralysed with fear, watched how the hand kept appearing everytime they got to a curve.

Gathering all his courage, he jumped out and ran to the nearest lights hecould see. Wet and in shock, he went into a shabeen and asked for a double brandy. After drinking it, he told everyone of the horrible experience he just had. Everyone was silent when they realized he was crying.

About half an hour later, two men came walking into the shabeen and, on seeing the terrified man, the one said to the other,"Mfowetu, isn't that the idiot that got into the car while we were pushing ..?'
