Ghost cars
Ghost machines are a completely unexplored paranormal. Usually, they are no different from real ones: they look the same, make the same noises when driving, and give the same signals. At the same time, the driver does not always sit behind the wheel, and the phantoms of cars do not obey the physical laws. At the same time, ghost cars can cause accidents and deaths.
Messages about the appearance of ghost cars on the roads began to arrive from different parts of the world immediately after the first release of cars from the assembly line. Then the skeptics assured that all this is just an invention of people who lack attention to their person. But soon tens, and later hundreds of people became eyewitnesses of the mysterious phenomenon.
Certain tendencies have also emerged. Some of the ghost machines have been associated in one way or another with places where fatal accidents once occurred. In other cases, these were sections of "cursed roads" that became a haven for unknown spirits. But where these ghosts come from remains a mystery. One thing is confirmed: they appear on certain sections of the road and almost always rush at great speeds.
Here, for example, what happened on a summer night on June 15, 1934 in London, somewhere in the North Kensington area. A young guy was driving along the highway and suddenly saw a bus flying at high speed towards the intersection with another highway. Avoiding a collision, the driver managed to turn, but collided with another car, as a result of which he crashed to death. Later they found out: this bus had appeared on the same section of the road several times before, provoking serious accidents. At the same time, the driver, who nevertheless managed to avoid the accident, claimed that there was no one behind the wheel.
Great Britain again. On Christmas Eve, a ghost truck is regularly seen on the Lam-Berchest-Frant road (Kent). Sometimes he appears even during the day and drives so dangerous that he forces oncoming cars to pull off the road. Eyewitnesses assured that the phantom of the truck constantly changes direction and, as a rule, moves in the oncoming lane. 1960 - to avoid an accident, the driver of a car turned off the road and the car turned over. When the victim got out and tried to examine the culprit's car, he was very surprised: there was absolutely no trace of the presence of the desperate madman.
Sometimes such ghost cars are found in cemetery areas. According to eyewitnesses, when they drove past the cemetery, they heard the grinding of iron and the sound of breaking glass, as if a traffic accident had happened very close by, and the strange sounds of horns. But as soon as one passed the "enchanted" place, the visions and sounds disappeared.
Such an American story is also impressive. There is a haunted site near the Rubayo Woods Forest, which is nearby Chicago. Ghost cars, which terrify people and create a feeling of insecurity, especially at dusk, did not pass him by. For example, in Midlothian Turnpike and the surrounding area, it is not uncommon to see trucks and cars that disappear when they pass the cemetery. Drivers claim that this place still attracts phantoms of cars for some reason. Moreover, their appearance is often accompanied by a metallic rattle and the sound of breaking glass. Numerous studies of the territory have not yielded any results. Oddly enough, there are not even versions of various accidents that could somehow clarify the reason for the appearance of ghost cars.

An absolutely incredible ghost has been spotted in Russia, which seems to be monitoring the observance of traffic rules. Once a young man was rushing to his parents' dacha. He was driving along the road at high speed, unexpectedly another car caught up with him, which obviously forced him to slow down. When the driver obeyed the demand, his pursuer simply disappeared.
It happens that the iron monsters suddenly start themselves and move in an incomprehensible direction. Such an incident happened to the king of horror novels, the famous Stephen King. Once he was standing on the side of a highway near his home. A van drove along the road, which suddenly twisted out of the blue and hit the writer. Driver Brian Smith later claimed that the car simply got out of his control. Fifty-two-year-old King suffered a fractured thigh and lower leg and damaged a lung. Shortly after the accident, King's lawyer Warren Silver approached Smith with an offer to buy back the car that had crippled his client. Smith agreed to give up his mini-van for $ 1,500, which was paid in cash on the same day.
When a meticulous journalist asked why the writer needed an old van, King admitted that he was in his garage waiting for the day when the writer recovered and dealt with the car to the fullest extent: he would take a sledgehammer and smash it to smithereens. And in other words, this is a completely logical ending for another bestseller by the author of horror novels. Indeed, in the works of art all the time enraged cars crush people, and very often the iron monsters can only be stopped by their complete disassembly and sending spare parts for remelting.
Killer machines
Literature is literature, but in reality, as many drivers claim, there are real killer cars, rebel cars and even avenger cars. It is no coincidence that researchers of paranormal phenomena believe that a curse can haunt not only a person, but also inanimate objects, including a four-wheeled one.
A vivid illustration of this version is the story of the death of the famous dancer Isadora Duncan. Her fate is no less tragic than that of her husband, the Russian poet Sergei Yesenin. And here it should be noted that the cars for some reason from the very beginning disliked Isadora. Why? Probably because she was madly in love with fast driving, not sparing either the engine or the wheels, which is why every turn threatened a serious accident.
Isadora's friend Mary Desti testified: “On the way back, when they were leaving Pskov for Leningrad, Isadora was on the verge of death: the car they were driving stopped obeying the steering wheel for no reason at all and turned over into a ditch. The great artist only miraculously survived. And there were many such cases in her life. As you can see, there is a limit to any risk.
The first victims were the young children of Isadora. A few days before the terrible tragedy, visions tormented her. For example, in the studio, she saw three black cats run past her to the window. Everyone rushed to the curtains, but no cats were found. But on that miserable morning Isadora sang and danced merrily, she had not been seen so happy and tender for a long time. She said goodbye to the children, a boy and a girl, and sent them along with the nanny for a walk.
Almost immediately, their car almost collided with an oncoming taxi. The driver braked sharply, the engine stalled. To start it again, he got out, slammed the door and turned the handle. And suddenly … the car started abruptly and drove straight into the river, which was just a few meters from the highway. The chauffeur fell into the pavement in shock. The fast current swept the car aside. When they pulled him out, they saw that the English nanny was hugging the children to the end to prevent them from choking, and their bodies were still warm.
The final "calculation" took place on September 14, 1927, when Isadora Duncan decided to take a ride in the evening Nice. She got into a powerful two-seater Bugatti 37 racing car, throwing a long red scarf over her shoulder. The car jerked off and suddenly stalled out of the blue. From a sharp gust of wind, the fringe of the scarf, hanging down, caught on the rear wheel, and the car, meanwhile, started up again. A few turns of the wheel … and it was all over. The train strangled the dancer in a few seconds, who did not even have time to understand what had happened.
The driver did not immediately notice that his passenger had died. Already during interrogation at the police department, he assured that he could not understand why the new Bugatti engine stalled for a moment, and then suddenly it started working again and the car jerked off "like crazy."
Another car mystery is the death of the famous writer Albert Camus. 1960, January 4 - He was driving from Provence to Paris in a Renault, driven by the nephew of his book publisher Michel Gallimard. An experienced driver, Gallimard suddenly turned the steering wheel at full speed for some reason, and the car crashed into a tree by the road. The writer died on the spot, and Michel himself died a few days later. In addition to them, there were Gallimard's wife and daughter in the car, who survived. They told the police that Michel had no reason to turn the steering wheel and the car seemed to be out of control on its own.
After a while, one of Camus's fans bought and repaired his Renault. She assured that, sitting behind the wheel, she better understands her idol. But the "understanding" did not last long: exactly a month later, having lost control on one of the steep bends, the car crashed into a roadside tree. The woman died on the spot. After this incident, the car was no longer restored and was sent to the scrap.
1982, September 13 - Princess Grace of Monaco, also known as the Hollywood actress Grace Kelly, died under mysterious circumstances. The engine of the car she was driving stalled on a mountain road, and the driver went out to check what was the matter. At this moment, the engine suddenly started. The car, picking up speed and crushing a low fence, rolled down the mountain slope …
An equally well-known story took place on another continent. 1963 John F. Kennedy is assassinated in Dallas. The news of this drama shocked America. The culprit was soon found, he turned out to be a lone maniac Lee Harvey Oswald. But it never occurred to anyone that the limousine in which he was traveling could rightfully be called the "accomplice" of the killer of the American president. It is known from the materials of the case that the car was serviceable - and it could not be otherwise! But at a fateful moment, this "serviceable" limousine suddenly stood rooted to the spot and turned out to be an ideal target. Only when the shots stopped and Jacqueline Kennedy cried out: "My God, they killed John!", The limousine … started to move. By the way, Senator Macmillan spoke about this, but his version was rejected as irrational.
There are many secrets in the death of the British princess Diana
In the last hours before her death, she was at the height of happiness, spending time with Dodi al-Fayed, whom she was going to marry. Diana and Dodi left the Ritz at midnight. At first, their Mercedes, as it should be, perfectly obeyed the steering wheel, and then it suddenly seemed to be out of control, developed a speed of up to 196 km / h and … crashed into the thirteenth pillar of the Parisian tunnel. It happened on the night of August 31, 1997.
Researchers of paranormal phenomena believe that the "do-it-yourself" of the last Russian emperor Nicholas II was also a killer machine. The king himself was pleased with him. But after his abdication, the car passed to the chairman of the Provisional Government, Alexander Kerensky. In April 1917, he came to Tsarskoe Selo in this "deed" to meet with the former emperor, and, according to eyewitnesses, he did not like very much that other people were driving his car now. Kerensky was soon forced to flee Russia, and the "leader of the world proletariat" became the next car owner.
In January 1918, the "Delani" in which Lenin was traveling was fired upon by the Social Revolutionaries. Lenin was not injured, but the Swiss communist Platten, who accompanied him, was seriously wounded. After the move of the Soviet government to Moscow, the former tsarist car passed to the chairman of the Petrograd Cheka, Moisey Uritsky, who was killed by student Leonid Kanegiser on August 30, 1918.
Experts put forward a version according to which Nicholas II, without even wanting to, could transfer during Kerensky's visit to Tsarskoe Selo all his negative energy accumulated from the moment of abdication to the machine that no longer belongs to him. Hence, perhaps, the evil fate that persecuted everyone who subsequently drove the former imperial limousine.
