3 Chilling Night Drive Horror Stories | Vol. 3 That Will Leave You Terrified · True Horror Stories

  Speaker 1: I was driving for DoorDash on the weekend to make
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: some extra money. I worked a day job, so I
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: could only start driving later in the night. When I started,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: it was a little past nine. I got my first
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: order and dropped it off, then drove back to where
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: the restaurants were. I drove in circles for a while,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: maybe ten minutes, without getting a single order. It was late,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: but on the weekends there would usually still be a
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: decent amount of orders. Finally one popped up and I
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: accepted it, though it was a small order with a
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: small tip. After that one, I waited in a parking
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: lot for almost twenty minutes before the next order came through.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Obviously this wasn't ideal, having to wait so long between
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: orders and not even getting to choose which orders to
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: accept unless I wanted to wait even longer. This order
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: was another small one, but some money was better than none,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: so I accepted it. I picked up their bag from
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Taco Bell and counted the items to make sure it
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: was right. Two tacos and some packets of hot sauce.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: That was it. The delivery fee was probably more expensive
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: than the food. I confirmed that. I picked up the order,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: then got the directions to the house. It was ten
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: minutes away in some regular neighborhood. A few minutes into
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: the drive, I pulled up to a red light. There
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: was almost nobody on the road at this time of night,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: so I was just sitting at this empty intersection waiting
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: for it to turn green when a truck pulled up
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: next to me. I unconsciously looked over slightly, but the
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: man in the truck caught my attention enough to make
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: me turn my head fully. He was sticking his head
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: out of the window and looking down into my car,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: not at me, but at my passenger seat, which had
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: the door dash bag in it. I looked back and
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: saw the light was green, so I pressed on the gas.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: I had no idea why he was looking in my car,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: but he made it very obvious and didn't even try
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: to hide it. I checked my mirrors and the truck
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: was now in my lane, cruising a good distance behind me.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: As I continued driving along my route, the truck stayed
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: behind me, but I couldn't say for sure if he
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: was following me or not because the route was straight
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: all the way until the neighborhood. When I turned in,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: I stared at my mirrors, waiting anxiously for the truck
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: to pass the entrance, but after ten seconds he turned
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: in behind me. There was a chance he just lived here,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: and I knew that, but after seeing him looking in
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: my car, I felt like I was justified in my suspicions.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: The route had me go down a few turns in
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: the neighborhood before taking me down to the last road
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: with the address on it. I turned, and right away
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: I saw the dead end sign a few houses down.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: I braked and pulled over, staring at my rear view mirror.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: The truck pulled him behind me and parked. As I
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: waited in my car trying to come up with a plan,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: the truck behind me was just sitting there with its
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: headlights on. Then I got a text. It was from
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: the door dash customer, asking when the delivery would be arriving.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: This was all coming together and I realized that the
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: man in the truck, likely my customer, was waiting for
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: me to get out of my car. Even though I
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: knew what was going on, I still had no way
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: of getting out of it. After a minute of me
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: panicking to figure an escape, the man got out of
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: his truck. He walked down to my car, but stopped
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: right by the trunk. I watched in my mirror as
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: he stood there looking at me through the back windshield.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: It was a tense moment, making my head panic with thoughts.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Then all of a sudden, he slammed something into the windshield,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: shattering it. I put the car in drive and floored
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: it just as the man jumped onto the back and
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: tried to crawl in through the broken glass. He fell
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: off as I made a tight U turn, and with
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: the time it took for him to get up, I
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: was able to carefully maneuver between his truck without any
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: more damage. I saw him wobble across the street as
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: I left and called nine one one. When police got there,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: all they found were the broken shards of glass laying
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: in the road. I'm very thankful to have made it
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: out with nothing but a broken windshield, but that night
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: had me shaken up for months. I just hope he
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: not out there trying to trap more people and do
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: who knows what to them. I'm an uber driver mainly
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: working in a large suburb outside Las Vegas. The city
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: is a bit sketchy sometimes, but this suburb is known
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: for being a nicer area, so I never found myself
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: worrying too much. Sure i'd get some weird people sometimes,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: but they were usually just drunk, high, or otherwise intoxicated
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: in some way. I'd worked for a few months with
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: no issues and found myself actually enjoying the job. On
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: this night, I was working around my usual time, between
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: six and ten PM. It was one of those nights
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: where I was getting a lot of people and making
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: a lot of money. When ten o'clock came around, I
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: chose to keep grinding out these pickups and make as
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: much as I could. The very next order after ten
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: was from someone eighteen minutes away at an undefined location.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: This wasn't out of the ordinary. It usually just meant
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: they were on the side of a road somewhere, or
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: outside of some place that wasn't on the map. I
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: zoomed in and saw it was right next to a
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: storage garage. I began the drive, and when I was
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: five minutes away, I got a call from the customer.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna be late. I need you to wait a
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: few minutes for me. Thanks, he said quickly, while breathing heavily,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: like he just ran a mile. The man hung up
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: right after. I can't say I'd ever had someone tell
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: me that they were gonna be late, but I didn't
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: mind waiting a few minutes. I knew if I canceled it,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: then he'd have to wait another ten to twenty minutes
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: for a new driver to get there, and I was
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: hoping that by waiting he'd give me a little extra
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: tip money. When I arrived, I didn't see anyone outside,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: so I pulled in and parked in the storage garage
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: parking lot. I waited for five minutes. Then I saw
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: a man in my mirror. He was walking quickly out
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: of the storage building holding a large Duffel bag. When
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: he got my car, a nasty odor came from him.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: I also saw that he was dripping in sweat, and
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: it was really gross. I'd picked up people from the
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: gym before, so this wasn't too terrible, but it never
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: made for a good experience. I tried to not make
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: a face and greeted him. The man said nothing, so
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: I got back on the road. During the ride, the
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: man held the Duffel bag on his lap and stared
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: forward without speaking a word. It made me feel uncomfortable,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: so I didn't speak either. After a twenty minute drive
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: of awkwardness, I finally got to the destination. It was
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: a corner of a street, non an address. Before I
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: could even shift into park, the man hurried out and
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: started walking away. After all that, I wasn't expecting any
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: sort of tip, which was a disappointment and enough so
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: to get me to call it quits for the night.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: During my drive home, I noticed that smell never left
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: my car, even when I tried rolling the windows down.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: It was so bad that I had to pull over
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: and check to see if he had left something in
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: the back seat. I opened the door and immediately saw
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: some red spots on the seat. I'm no expert, but
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: it looked like blood. I called the police, and after
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: some looking, they confirmed that it was and there was
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: a lot of it. We tried to track the Uber account,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: and the next day they even contacted the storage unit,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: but had no luck with identifying the man. After thinking
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: back on all of it, though, I'm sure that guy
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: did something terrible just minutes before I picked him up.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, he was sweating and carrying a duffel bag
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: with blood soaked into it, and on top of all that,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: he used fake accounts with both Uber and the storage unit.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: It really showed me that even in a place that's
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: considered to be nice and safe, there's still terrible people
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: doing terrible things. I took a week off from Uber,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: then got back to it, but I'm way more cautious
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: about who I'm picking up. I'm a truck driver for
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: a moving company on the East Coast. We specialize in
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: cross country moving, typically moving people to the far West Coast,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: which can take anywhere from twenty to forty hours depending
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: on the locations. I only did the driving for the company,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: not any of the boxing or loading, so the actual
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: job was one hundred percent just driving and picking up
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: or dropping off the trailer at the houses. I'd been
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: working with this company for almost four years at the time.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: This job was like every other. I got to the
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: pickup address and loaded up the trailer full of the
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: customer's belongings. This was a thirty hour drive in total,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: which I would do with two to three short rest stops.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: The hardest states to drive through are in the Midwest,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: specifically Iowa and Nebraska. There's absolutely nothing there. It's just
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: dead roads with endless fields of grass beside them. It
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: makes for a very boring and therefore tiring drive. As
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: I passed through the Iowa border into Nebraska, the sun
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: had just set and I'd been on the road for
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: about twenty hours. I took a short break, already a
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: couple states back, but was just about ready for another.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: My eyes were heavy and I could feel the drowsiness
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: coming in. But a few more miles down I saw
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: something on the side of the road. A car was
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: stopped off to the side of my lane with its
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: headlights on. It was a narrow road, so I slowed
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: down to carefully pass. As I did, I noticed the
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: exhaust was steaming, so the car was still running. There
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: was also a man leaning against the driver door and
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: looking right at me. I passed by and gave him
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: a nod, but as I got further down the road,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: I saw him get back into the car. It was
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: very strange for someone to be sitting on the side
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: of an empty road with a car that still runs.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: He didn't look like he was in any sort of trouble.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: He looked like he was waiting. I checked my mirrors often,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: but the car's headlights disappeared behind me. After a few minutes.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: I was a bit more awake now, but my eyes
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: still felt heavy. Only a mile or so more down
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: the road, I saw another car. This one was sideways
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: in the middle of the road, and as I got closer,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: I saw another vehicle on the side. It was a
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: large box van. I wasn't sure exactly of the situation,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: but seeing that gave me a bad feeling. I eased
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: into my brakes, but the car stayed in the middle
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: of the road, so I was forced to come to
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: a full stop. I was maybe twenty yards away and
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: could see multiple men standing along the road and one
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: man in front of the car. I'd have to be
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: the dumbest person in the world to not understand what
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: this was. At this point, with no better options, I
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: started moving the truck backward. The men stayed where they were.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: With this horrifying confidence, the light shined behind me and
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: a car approached, blocking the way back. A man got
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: out of the car, sprinting at the back of my trailer,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: and at the same time, all of the men in
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: the front started sprinting at me too. In that instant,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: my mind went blank and all of my adrenaline took over.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: I slammed on the gas as I heard a pop
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: on the back of the trailer and the doors swung open.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: The men in front yelled and tried to stand in
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: my way, but once they saw I wasn't stopping, they
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: jumped on the side of the road. I rammed right
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: into the car, knocking it off the road and completely
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: destroying it. A few gunshots sounded in the distance, but
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: none hit. I could hear cargo falling out of the
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: trailer for the next five miles before I was able
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: to call the police and meet an officer on the road.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Of course, this was a total mess, but as it
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: all unfolded, it turned out to be much more than
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: just a random attack and robbery. When police arrived at
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: the scene, the car had slammed into was left behind,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: being damaged beyond drivable with it. They tracked down one
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: of the members of the attackers, who gave up information
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: on the others. They had information on the rich homeowners
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: that were moving and planned to stop me and steal
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: all of the belongings with their box van. They never
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: said what exactly they would have done to me after
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: they robbed the truck, but I don't think it's a
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: stretch to assume that it would have been a lot
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: easier for them to not leave any loose ends.
