Motorcycle Ghost
I would like toshare an experience I had not too long ago. People who are fromaround Cincinnati might be familiar with this. It's an oldlegend, that kind of spooked me. I will start off telling you thestory 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. Supposedlyseveral years ago, a guy broke up with his girlfriend, got pissdrunk and started riding his motorcycle down this road. At theend of the road is a very sharp hairpin turn. The guy didn't makethe turn, and ended up wrecking into the barbwire fence straightahead and was decapitated.
Now the story is if you go to this road at night, flash yourlights three times, you will see the bike coming down the road.
A couple of friends and myself went to this road one night about1:30 A.M. My two friends had been there two other times and sawthe same thing every time. There was another car full of peoplefrom the nearby college, Miami Oxford University. They left aboutfifteen minutes after we got there. Well It was just the three ofus out there. We flashed our lights several times and nothingseemed to happen.
Well we decided to give it one more try before we left. We didand five minutes later about 1/2 mile down the road a very verybright single light came down this road. It seemed to be comingvery fast, but it was not lighting up the road in front of itlike a car headlight does. It was coming closer and closer. Itwas so bright. Well the light was about 100 yards away when myfriend in the backseat said "Uh Jeff?". The exactinstant I started the car, I mean no lapse in time whatsoever,the light went right out. You should know that I didn't turn onmy lights until I was well under my way. I took off like a batout of hell towards where the light went out. I got to the spotin seconds. I really wanted to see if there was anything there. Acar a motorcycle or kid with a flashlight, anything. I sloweddown to where the light went out. There was absolutely nothingaround.
You have to know the terrain to understand this better. The roadis a long deserted stretch of road with only a couple of houseson it. It is only wide enough for one car. The road is straightbut it is hilly in parts. The spot where the curve is and thespot where we saw the light is very hilly and you can see prettyfar down the road. The light we saw was steady and not moving upand down like a vehicle would on such up and down hills. It wasreally bazaare.
Has anybody out there seen the same thing or heard the story? Iknow by talking to several different people that has gone to seeit say the exact same thing. What does everyone think? I knowthat there are a lot of skeptics out there. Some will say that wesaw it in our minds, others will say there is someone out thereamusing sight-seerers. But I honestly think I saw something.
