Someone on AskReddit asked for truckers to share their spookiest experiences from being out on the road. Things have a tendency to get real creepy on those long and winding dark highways throughout the night. Never know what kind of devilish, WTF sh*t you might drive across.

    Text - olivegardengambler 2h I'm not a trucker, but my job does warrant a lot of nighttime driving. Most terrifying thing I have ever seen at night was when I was driving home from a friend's graduation party. It was one in the morning and he lived in a pretty rural area which was where the party was hosted. Shortly after I pulled out of his drive and went down the road, there was this collection of beat- up mobile homes (not a place you want to be unless you're cooking meth or doing something i

    Text - HaveAGo YaMug 3h 1Not a truckie, but I do a bit night time driving here out on the road when hardly anyone is around. Anyway I live in NSW, Australia. I need to take a leak so I pull off the highway somewhere near bargo around 1 or 3am. While the stream is flowing, I felt like I was being watched, I nervously check for headlights on the herizon or the soft sound of tyres on the road but nothing is coming. I'm just about to finish and I hear a loud snap of a twig, I'm scanning in that gene

    Text - Elktus 2h Not me but a friend, saw a naked kid (9-10 years old) walking at night on a long stretch of empty stretch of highway 41 south of where it meets highway 285, in New Mexico. He picked the kid up and called it in to local law enforcement. The kid wouldn't speak. A State trooper showed up, and according to my friend, acted like it was no big deal, like he had seen it all before. My friend asked the officer to hold up, and what was going on. The officer said, "don't worry about it",

    Text - greeneyeded 1h There's another driver where I work that tells a story about driving through the desert in Arizona back in the 80's with nothing around for miles when he broke down- it was an easy fix (his fuel filter was clogged- he drained ita little to free up the fuel and got the truck running about 15 minutes later), he took off down the highway when he saw a man that was out of breath on the side of the highway that was staring at him as he passed.. he said it looked like the guy had

    Text - KarmicComic12334 3h 125 south of Albuqerque, there's a huge dip, straight down one side of a canyon and up the other. I'm a very safe driver, so i took the downgrade slow and crawled up the other side with my hazards on. Looking in my mirror i see headlights from another truck at the bottom, then 2 jets of flame shoot like 20 feet into the air above it. This truck runs past me doing 80 up the slope. I didn't even know it was possible to put nitrous into a semi, i know it ain't legal, but

    Text - JimmyL2014 5h A friend who is a truck driver told me this one. He was driving through the edge of some bushland on his way back to Perth, Western Australia when he hit a kangaroo. He stopped the truck, grabbed his knife (in case he needed to dispatch it), his flashlight, and got out. He went over to the kangaroo. It needed to be dispatched, as it was alive and in immense pain, but he got this weird feeling that he was being watched. He flashed his light around and saw dozens of pairs of r

    Text - buh-buh_bacon 2h Not mine but my grandfathers. One night after completing his water delivery he stops at a roundabout to let the other car go thru but it doesn't and soon people hop out with knives and tools and they yell at him to cut the engine and to hop out of the truck. He guns it smashing their car out of the way and goes around the roundabout and drives to the nearest police station and tells them what happens. He thinks they were trying to steal the bulldog from his truck cause th

    Text - BlankNothingNoDoer 5h When I was about 12 our family vehicle broke down on the side of the highway The two adults asked me and my ten-year-old cousin to go walking and find a payphone because one was heavily pregnant and the other was disabled. We walked for about 2 mi when a trucker pulled over and asked what we were doing. We explained the situation, and he said to get in the truck and he would take us to Walmart. He was an older black man with a gray beard and a heavy foreign accent. A

    Text - Digby TheDogKing 3h Not something l've witnessed but happened to me. I was driving down Hells Pass in British Columbia in the winter when my truck started to jackknife. The cab was right up against the trailer and I was being pushed down the hill sideways. 7-10% grade. I managed to use the trailer brake to bring cab back around and bring the truck to a safe stop but still scary as hell

    Text - FarminFrance 2h Not a trucker, but 10 years ago as I bicycled through Belize, I stopped to sneak-camp at a day use area which was a small parking lot, handful of picnic tables and a short trail to a blue hole (lots of them in the region). I enjoyed a nice swim after every day user was gone, and pitched my tent next to a picnic table. I wake up around 3 am to the headlights of several trucks. Being in Belize and Belize being Belize, I didn't think twice and ran into some bushes, wearing on
