Carol

I had just bought a car two months ago. It is a 2000 Nissan Altima; I bought it from my sister’s friend Tammy. I test drove it and fell in love with it. When I went to sign the title and give her the final payment she told me that she had bought the car in 2001. The original owner couldn’t keep the car because her daughter Carol who was 22 died inside the car from unexplained causes (I didn’t ask and neither did Tammy!). Carol's mother parked the car in her driveway and it was too much of a painful memory for her to keep it so she sold it to Tammy for a very decent price. Well Tammy said after three weeks weird things would happen. Weird smells would come out of the air-conditioner, the doors would lock automatically, and she would feel the presence late at night and thought that she saw a woman in the backseat. Tammy had never felt threatened in any way, for she had the car for about 4 years. And she had just gotten a new job and a brand new car so she needed to sell the car.
Well since I have purchased the car creepy things have been happening. And my friend Phil who posts his stories here was in the car and thinks that “Carol” has a crush on me. She does little things but never harmful and when I told Phil what happened the other night he said he feels a very loving presence in the car. She takes things and hides them where I can’t find them. When I am tired behind the wheel I feel a hand on my shoulder, very comforting. But what happened the other night makes me a firm believer, if there was any doubt before!
The other night I was coming out of a Diner. It was late and I was tired and just wanted to go to sleep. So I get in the car and start to drive home. Normally I take the highway to my exit and my apartment is right there. I noticed that there was a yellow Hummer in front of me, and I made sure to follow him cautiously because he had come out of a bar. When I was approaching the entrance to the highway the Hummer glided onto the ramp and my wheel locked and it felt like my car was put into neutral. I slowed to a stop in the shoulder and the car stalled. I started to curse and tried to start the car again. When I heard horn honking I looked up and saw the highway overpass and heard an explosion. I got out and was able to see a blazing fire and smoke billowing into the sky. My eyes widened and at that time my car started with no problems. I took alternate roads to get home and turned on the news and saw coverage of the horrific accident. A tractor-trailer carrying propane had jackknifed and had fallen on the highway and exploded on contact. I feel that if I had gotten on the highway something really horrible would have happened. And then I found out a yellow Hummer had crashed into it and driver had died. I named the car Carol and I am very nice to her because I feel she saved my life!!!!!!
