I would like to share an experience I had not too long ago. Go ahead and mail
me back or post telling me what you think. People who are from around
Cincinnati might be familiar with this. It's an old legend, that kind of
spooked me.
I will start off telling you the story behind the story. There are several
versions of the story, this is the one most popular.
There is a long narrow stretch of deserted road near Oxford, Oh.
Oxford is about 30 minutes North of Cincinnati. Supposedly several years ago,
a guy broke up with his girlfriend, got piss drunk and started riding his
motorcycle down this road. At the end of the road is a very sharp hairpin turn.
The guy didn't make the turn, and ended up wrecking into the barbwire fence
straight ahead and was decapitated.
Now the story is if you go to this road at night, flash your lights three times,
you will see the bike coming down the road.
MY STORY
A couple of friends and myself went to this road one night about 1:30 A.M. My
two friends had been there two other times and saw the same thing every time.
There was another car full of people from the nearby college, Miami Oxford
University. They left about fifteen minutes after we got there. Well It was
just the three of us out there. We flashed our lights several times and
nothing seemed to happen.
Well we decided to give it one more try before we left. We did and five
minutes later about 1/2 mile down the road a very very bright single light
came down this road. It seemed to be coming very fast, but it was not lighting
up the road in front of it like a car headlight does. It was coming closer and
closer. It was so bright. Well the light was about 100 yards away when my
friend in the backseat said "Uh Jeff?". The exact instant I started the car, I
mean no lapse in time whatsoever, the light went right out. You should know
that I didn't turn on my lights until I was well under my way. I took off like
a bat out of hell towards where the light went out. I got to the spot in
seconds. I really wanted to see if there was anything there. A car a
motorcycle or kid with a flashlight, anything. I slowed down to where the
light went out. There was absolutely nothing around.
You have to know the terrain to understand this better. The road is a long
deserted stretch of road with only a couple of houses on it. It is only wide
enough for one car. The road is straight but it is hilly in parts. The spot
where the curve is and the spot where we saw the light is very hilly and you
can see pretty far down the road. The light we saw was steady and not moving
up and down like a vehicle would on such up and down hills. It was really
bazaare.
Has anybody out there seen the same thing or heard the story? I know by
talking to several different people that has gone to see it say the exact same
thing. What does everyone think? I know that there are a lot of skeptics out
there. Some will say that we saw it in our minds, others will say there is
someone out there amusing sight-seerers. But I honestly think I saw something.
Later
Jeff
