I work for roadside assistance,
which basically means
I'm the Uber of car problems,
sort of like a mobile mechanic.
If you have a flat tire or dead battery
and call your insurance for help,
where the guys they send out to assist you.
It's not a bad gig, really, as I basically just cruise around the city all day, listening to music and podcast, and waiting for a driver to get in a pickle.
I have no co-workers or boss breathing down my neck, and I just get to kind of do my own thing.
Now, as you can imagine, there are some dumb and strange people out there.
I'm not knocking our customers, as 99% of the time, they're wonderful and appreciative, and I've never actually had an overtly negative interaction with a customer.
It's usually the other people hanging around that cause an issue.
I've had a few interesting events, but honestly, most of them are more hilarious than anything.
This obviously isn't exactly the place for that, but other than a few slightly uncomfortable situations,
I've only ever had one incident which I would classify as downright terrifying.
It happened to me a few months ago, and ironically, it had nothing to do with the customer.
I haven't told anyone about it until now.
It's just very difficult to understand.
Just to clarify, I am not currently diagnosed with any mental illness, aside from mild depression.
Never had any hallucinations or bouts of psychosis in my entire life, nor do I use illicit drugs of any kind.
As far as I know, I'm healthy.
The reason it's necessary to emphasize this is twofold.
One, this event is something I don't know how the hell to explain, and two, I'm honestly
terrified of what the implications could be.
It started like any other day.
I mark up on the map I used to let dispatch know I'm available and prepare myself for the day.
I got flooded with like five calls right off the bat, and was basically hopping from one
call to the next without any downtime in between.
I prefer when it's that busy, because I make more money and the day goes to the day goes.
by faster. Around 9pm that night and things finally started to slow down a bit after. After
changing a woman's tire in a Costco parking lot, I realized I didn't have any other waiting calls.
There was a war greens across the street and I decided to just park and wait for another call.
I browsed to YouTube and read it for maybe half an hour before realizing I was hungry and deciding
to do something about it. The area I was in was basically at the furthest point in my patrol and I was
and I wasn't really familiar with the area.
After Googling what restaurants were nearby,
I found a taco bell and punched it into the GPS.
Much to my dismay,
after about three minutes of driving towards it,
I saw an odd sight in the road.
Multiple police cars had sectioned off the area past the intersection.
There must have been a car wreck or some kind of crime investigation,
but either way, I couldn't go forward and follow the GPS.
With an annoyed groan, I turned right and wait to,
for the GPS to re-root.
Apparently, the road that was blocked by the cops was the only real direct route to the Taco Bell,
because the ETIMI screen switched from seven minutes to about 12.
The road on the screen winded and twisted into a forested area.
In a few seconds, I was outside the small town and onto the back roads that ran parallel to it.
Thick walls of trees lined both sides of the road,
and the sparse light from the town soon diminished in the rear view.
A steady torrent of rain was dripping down on my windshield, kept at bay by the rhythmic swipe of my wipers.
Before long, the only source of light was that beaming from my headlights.
I kept driving and saw no other cars along the road.
A few minutes later, and a sudden annoying yellow light popped up by my dash just as the road came into view on my left.
My eyes drifted down, already anticipating the oil level light that routinely flicks on.
I drive a Subaru
which has an annoying tendency to burn oil
and every once in a while I have to
top it off
I tried to do it as soon as possible to avoid
unnecessary engine wear
so when I saw that light come on
I pulled my car to the side of the road
flicked on the hazards and popped the hood
I stepped out
oil jug in hand onto the side of the road at night
in a place I wasn't familiar with
on a rainy ominous evening
nothing bad as ever happened to anyone
under those circumstances right
To the chagrin of some, no serial killer attacked me,
and no evil cryptid dashed out from the woods to try and eat me.
My 44 magnum is kept on me at all times when I'm on the road,
so if anything would have done that, I would have fired without hesitation.
I had no reason to do that, though,
and the night was quiet, filled only by the gentle pitter-batter of falling rain.
I twisted the cap off, added half a quart, and shut the hood without incident.
The GPS was squawking orders at me as I got back inside my car and shut the door.
The clock of my dash read 10.36pm, which was actually an hour of fast because I don't bother changing it for daylight savings.
I usually just go off the time on my phone anyway, and that little detail may not seem relevant,
and in the moment I didn't think it was either.
I'm 100% certain it was the case, though, just so we're clear.
The GPS painted a trail which continued straight on the road.
To my left was a single road and a couple hundred yards down it was a row of houses.
The strange thing was, my GPS didn't show anything there
and gave no indication that the road existed.
That struck me as odd, but I figured my GPS just wasn't loading right.
After closing and reopening the app, however, I found it unchanged and my phone had full bars.
I thought maybe the road was a new development that hadn't been updated on Google Maps yet,
but the houses had clearly been there for quite some time,
so that didn't really make sense.
I don't know why I was suddenly interested by it.
My stomach was still growling and bowels quivering under the prospect of digesting a cheesy codita crunch.
Yet for some reason, I was transfixed on that road,
which, according to the Almighty Google, did not exist.
I turned down the road and watched my headlights swivel towards a cluster of houses.
The rainfall had increased in volume, and I kicked my wipers into overdrive.
My GPS lost this mind and began nagging me to make a U-turn before I shut it off.
I drove forward, seeing the looming houses come closer.
The rain that had bellowed a moment earlier, then suddenly halted dead in its tracks.
My wiper blades continued to scrape across the clear windshield for a few seconds,
making an annoying whining noise
because they should have been replaced like two years ago
but I still haven't got around to it
I shut them off and it confirmed
the rain had stopped falling entirely
that struck me as odd
and I suppose rain can stop suddenly like that
but I'd never seen it stop that abruptly
and I'd feeling struck me then
and a few things happened at once
first was a nervous feeling trickling in my gut
followed by my ears popping
as though they had just gone through an altitude change,
despite the road being almost entirely flat.
A random zap then slithered through my brain,
as if struck by electricity,
but disappeared as suddenly as it had appeared.
The foreboding feeling of dread
seemed to grow deeper the further I went,
but my curiosity was still stronger.
I realize ignoring your gut
is like the biggest mistake everyone makes in the horror movies,
and I know I'm a dumbass for it,
but I didn't feel I was in danger.
It was just an insatiable curiosity.
I reached the houses a few seconds later and saw no lights coming from within them.
Upon closer inspection, I realised the houses were unlike any I'd ever seen.
The architecture was ornate and altogether foreign, with spiralling columns and odd waving groves around the base.
The walls were slanted and smooth, looking like whoever built them was either severely drunk the entire time
or aimed to build something entirely different to anything ever seen.
I wish I'd taken pictures,
but I was too enamoured with what I was seeing at the time to consider it.
The houses all seem built in a similar style to that first one,
and they look like things that would have been more at home in the Star Wars universe or something.
I could have almost written them off as some eccentric architect
who just wanted to build something unique.
But that wasn't the only feature.
The numerous cars that lined the neighbour,
were also different.
They all had four wheels like any other car,
but I couldn't identify any of the makes or models.
I'm usually pretty good at that too,
because it makes my job a lot easier when searching for a customer,
but I didn't recognise a single one,
or even the logos on the back of them.
My plausible explanations further dwindled at that point,
and it first occurred to me that I was witnessing something truly weird.
The road eventually curved and rounded to continue deeper into the neighbourhood.
Those odd homes stood silent as Templars along the way, and they seemed to go on for quite some distance.
Around the corner, the road forked in three separate directions.
The ones on the left and right led to more clusters of houses, and the ones straight ahead led out into another desolate road.
I then noticed a few trees in some of the yards and sidewalks.
They were tall and skinny.
almost like palm trees, but with skeleton branches lined with small yellowish leaves that dangled down like a willow tree.
I don't know what species they were, but I'd never seen them.
The houses on the left and right were similar in design to the first street, but with a few worrying caveats.
Several other doors were cracked open.
Two of the houses had a bunch of random debris scattered in the front yard,
and one house looked like it had been struck by vandals with a broken front window and damaged door.
It looked almost like the houses had been ransacked or struck by a mini tornado.
I turned right, simultaneously enthralled and nervous about what I was seeing.
Not sure what to expect next, but with a nervous tremble, I pulled my 44 from underneath my seat and rested it on my lap.
My GPS still had no clue where I was, and according to the app, I was driving aimlessly around in the middle of a forest.
As I entered the new street, my head was.
light illuminated something up ahead, which made me freeze.
I hit the brakes and saw something bipedal, standing on the sidewalk, maybe 100 yards away.
It was sort of twitching in this odd, rhythmic pattern that seemed to repeat every few seconds.
I was struck all at once by a feeling of thick dread, and also a desire to get closer.
I thought maybe it was someone in trouble, and that they could use help.
but I also desperately wanted to turn back.
I drove onward, creeping closer and closer to the unnerving scene.
My headlights finally reveal the images they'd hinted out earlier,
and my jaw hit the floor.
It looked like a person, two arms, two legs, and a humanoid head,
but it was fuzzy, undefined like I was viewing it through water.
It almost seemed stuck in what I can only describe as a looping animation.
It stood upright, and its head tilted back to what had to have been a very uncomfortable angle,
before twitching for a moment and resetting at its original position.
It didn't react to my presence at all, and I couldn't make out the details of its face.
The way it moved was indescribably unsettling,
and I had this subliminal feeling that I was seen something that was never meant to be witnessed.
Whatever that thing was, it was moving in a manner that was impossible for any order.
ordinary human.
I'd seen enough and put the car in reverse to turn around and leave.
I kept my eye in that thing as I turned around, but it didn't alter its behavior in any way.
As I flipped my car around, my heart sunk, deep in my chest, as my eyes beheld something
I'd missed earlier.
There was another one.
He was on the driveway, hidden behind some odd vehicle from my original vantage point.
It was humanoid like the other one.
but it had no lower half, no legs.
It was just a torso with arms and a head.
It was crawling down the driveway before reaching a certain spot,
twitching and transporting back to its original position
and repeating it all over.
Just like the first, it didn't seem to notice me,
or maybe it wasn't even capable of it.
The red flags in my mind sprung higher than ever before,
and I realized I had no explanation for what was going on.
I just wanted to leave and hit the gas pedal, bound for the same exit which I had entered through.
As I retraced my route, I saw more of them.
Dozens of them lighting the houses I'd previously passed through
and behaving in similar fashion to the first two,
twitching and moving around in a plethora of ways before resetting into their original positions.
I was in full panic mode by then and just wanted to get out.
By that point, I was speeding through the neighbourhood,
and I heard something crash behind.
behind me. In my rear view, I saw something enormous rise in the trees. It was shrouded in darkness
and consisted only of a shadow. The thing rose several dozen feet taller than the trees around it,
and its head slowly split open in an ocular shape, like one giant eye. An immense blue light
beamed out from the opening socket, and it swiveled towards me. I heard the ground quaking
behind me as the thing lumbered towards me. Its eldridge gaze glaring,
an evanescent.
I held my breath
and slammed my foot down,
causing my engine to roar loudly
and my car to rapidly accelerate.
I reached the end of the houses
where I'd entered
and the rain suddenly returned
to pelt my car.
I slammed my foot in the brake
as my car came dangerously close
to flying into the ditch.
It groaned and screeched
as my car slid to a stop
in the middle of the road,
the scent of smouldering rubber
filling my nostrils.
I took a moment
to level out my brain,
breaths and muster the courage to look in the rearview.
There was nothing there.
No sign of anything that I'd seen earlier.
I was back in the same spot I had pulled over to refill my oil, without a clue as to what I'd just witnessed.
It got even weirder than that, though.
My eyes caught a glance at the dash and the green LED light shown the time on the screen.
10.36 p.m.
I know for a fact I was in there.
for at least 10 minutes, and yet time hadn't passed at all.
I thought maybe it was broken, but the clock on my phone confirmed the same time.
I thought I was really and truly screwed, trapped in some time-divoid dimension for eternity without any hope of returning home.
When the clock finally turned and read 1037, my heart breathed an indescribable sigh of relief.
I drove away from there, having lost my appetite entirely.
I just drove home, despite my shift lasting another two hours.
I was just so rattled by what had happened.
I didn't care about anything but getting home.
This was months ago, and I still have no logical explanation.
At first, I thought the whole thing was an incredibly vivid nightmare or a bout of psychosis,
but that doesn't explain why the time didn't pass.
I guess maybe I subconsciously imagine the clock in my sleep.
The more I go along with this route of thinking, the more unlikely it all seems, and it all just seemed way too real to have been a dream, which of course leads to the outlandish explanation that it actually happened, and I didn't hallucinate any of it.
I've been back to that same location where this happened numerous times, but the neighbourhood and road aren't there.
Nothing is.
It's just a grove of trees alongside the road, with no indication there was ever anything else.
This whole event has left me with this overwhelming sense of existential dread,
like maybe I was transported to a separate dimension or experienced the glitch in the matrix.
I both wish I had more answers, and also that I could forget it ever happened.
I really don't even know how to end this post, or even what to think anymore.
If anyone has experienced anything like this before, then please tell me.
I still work the same job, and I can't really afford to leave it right now.
I don't really expect to understand what happened to be honest, but one thing is clear to me.
Reality itself is more convoluted than I think anyone is ready to understand.
