True Ghost Experiences
The Rag
Years ago, myfriend and I were travelling home when the following incidenthappened. To this day we have no explanation. We were drivingthrough a rain forest on a winding road at night . It was raininghard and water was getting into the distributor making the enginemisfire. We pulled off the road into a small clearing in the rainforest and lifted the car bonnet intending to wipe out the insideof the distributor cap with a rag. With the engine turned off andit being pitch black and miles from any habitation , it made fora very eerie and lonely place. We lifted the bonnet and my friendheld the torch and the bonnet up as it was faulty.
I undid the cap and wiped the inside to dry it out ,then placingthe rag on the mudguard, I began to replace the cap. Just then Iwas hit hard in the face with the rag which was now sopping wet.I jumped back and asked my friend what the hell did you do thatfor. He denied it and appeared just as surprised as I.
I realised that it could not be him as one hand was holding upthe faulty bonnet and the other the torch and it wasn't in hisnature to do something stupid like that. We spun the torch aroundbut could see nothing unusual. By now we were spooked and decidedto bolt . The rag which I placed on the guard after hitting mehad disappeared, but while driving back onto the road from theclearing , the rag hit the front windscreen and there it stayeduntil we were miles away. We have no explanation but are certainthat no human was involved , as they couldn't have hidden beforewe spun the torch around or recovered the rag and raced 100 yardsto throw it again at the windscreen.
