It was a dark November night and I had just gotten off of work. Instead of going back to the college dorms where I was staying, I was making the 2 1/2 hour trip home for Thanksgiving. I accidently locked my keys in my car while getting gas, so it was after midnight before I got on the road. I was on a long, dark stretch of highway where there is nothing for over 60 miles. No roadsigns, lights, exits/entrances and at that time of night no other cars. Suddenly an animal walked into the path of my car and I couldn't avoid hitting it. It was a huge skunk, at least 2 feet tall, tall enough that the bumper of the car is what hit it. Shaken, but not hurt, I kept going, and when I looked back in my mirror, I couldn't see any sign of it in the road (I told myself it was only stunned and had walked away). I had only gone a little farther down the road when my radio suddenly started playing music, and I had never been able to get reception on this road before. When the announcer came on, it turned out that this radio station was located several states and 10 hours away. By this time I am wondering if I somehow made a very wrong turn or entered the Twilight Zone or something. Finally nearly an hour later, I came upon the road sign marking my return to civilization and my usual radio station, and finished my trip without any more strange things happening. My parents were not sure whether or not to believe me, but when they walked out to check my car for damage (luckily there was none), the skunk smell was still strong on the outside of the car, even though I had driven for 2 hours after hitting it.
Later I found out that the radio program was syndicated and played on many different stations across the country late at night.

Why so hiccupy, Rita? 
I have no pics of this, so, sorry Mollycoddles88, but this story is totally true. When I was in higschool, my friends and I decided it would be great if we got inside an abandoned hotel in the woods. So off we went. The place was all covered in dust and cobwebs, and we were in for the fright of our lives. We checked the dinning and dancing halls (biggest hall I have ever seen!), when someone suggested going to the floors that had rooms. As soon as we reach the stairs, my friend sees there are handprints all over the wall....they were red. I was ready to run away like a hyper squirrel, but another of my friends said that it wasn't blood, only wood-colored paint. So we went on to check the abandoned rooms. I realized there was a hole in the floor of one of those rooms. I looked through it and saw a bunch of clothes and bed sheets...my friend took a look at it and said that it was moving. I couldn't believe it, so I looked again, and just as I did, the bunch of clothes groaned. We jumped up and ran like mad...Once we got outside we were pretty sure there were homeless peopleliving in the hotel, but we weren't going to double check for nothing in the world.

Hmmmm, scariest moment?
Once, my dad asked me to go out to the mailbox at night, it was past midnight. We have a fairly long driveway, and our streetlight was burnt out, so it was pitch black in the middle of the night. I was walking down the driveway casually. I got to the mailbox, opened it up, and grabbed our mail. (My dad had forgotten to grab it earlier.) But as I turned around, I saw the outline of something.... and I saw a little glowing red dot, and I kid you not, a man turned around and stared at me, through the back window of his car! Somehow, I do not know how, his black car literally blended into the darkness, and here I was at the end of my driveway, alone, with a man staring at me! This was when I was about 8 or 9 years old, and I was so creeped out!
