    What are some of the strangest things you have seen on the road? It can be what others have. Done that you have seen or objects on the road

    Down in south Texas a driver had a hammock strung under his trailer and was sleeping in it.

    Yesterday a bug hit my windshield too high for the washer fluid to reach, so the wipers left a smudge, then another bug did the same thing too low.

    Texas. One of those high speed secondary roads through farm country. Maybe 3am and a guy with one leg on crutches walking down the center line. Scared the life out of me. Pulled over a few miles up and called police. Lady dispatcher did not believe me. I told them I would sit here until a cop came and he could arrest me if I was wrong.

    I could see in my mirror he showed up. He put his blue lights on. I blinked mine and left.

    I just started driving. So two days ago I'm rolling down this really dark interstate. Can't remember where due to all the places I've been since starting, but it was around 3 am. Anyway, I cruising at a governed 64mph and I come around this bend in the road and I see a figure just standing on the side of the road in the ditch. As I approach, my headlights illuminate this sinister person. Then I notice it's a little black boy around 12 years of age. As my headlights hit him, he turns around and has this wild look in his eyes. All wide and what not. I swear I think it was a ghost. He looked all pale and weird. Scared the bejesus out of me. I've heard of stories of kids breaking free of captivity and running towards a road. But I wasn't about to stop. Something felt very off and my instinct told me to keep going. I told my trainer and he said he has also seen strange people on the sides of roads that he thought were ghosts as well. And he told me never to stop. Lol. I sure hope it wasn't some kid needing help though.
