It seems to me that something always strange happens when
one of our family members makes a trip through the desert.
My father had an experience once that I wrote about a while
back.
Then my brother had quite a different experience, coming
from California and traveling through the Arizona desert,
heading to Nogales to cross into Mexico.
His adventure began back in the 70’s. He had just
purchased a new car. He decided that he wanted to visit
our relatives in Mexico. His friend Jose accompanied him.
They were taking turns driving so they drove through the
night. They were passing through the desert about 1
a.m.there were only occasional cars passing by.
As they were going through a particular deserted stretch of
road, my brother noticed that behind them there was a
vehicle that seemed to have its high-beams on. It was
closing in on them quickly caught up to their car.
It bothered my brother because the vehicle stayed about
100 yards in back of them pacing them, without speeding up
to pass them. Its lights seemed unusually brighter than
the normal car light. This was irritating to say the least.
My brother decided to speed up. He edged the cars speed to
70, 80…and whatever it was kept pace with them.
At first they thought it was an eighteen wheel semi because
the lights seemed to be coming from a tall vehicle, but it
had no trouble keeping pace with them.
Jose, my brothers, friend turned around to take a better
look at the lights to try to figure out what kind of
vehicle was following them and told my brother….it seems to
be a truck, but the lights are almost white….something he
had never seen before.
This disturbed my brother and the more he looked in his
rear view mirror the more he began to realize that it might
not be a vehicle. The lights were too white and glaring.
It started giving him the creeps.
His speed reached to 100 mph….and the thing paced him.
Finally they they reached a turn in the road, they found
and old turn off and quickly pulled into it. It was an old
road and it was covered by bushes, mesquite and cactus and
they could easily hide their car there. They parked and
waited for whatever was behind them to pass.
The question was what was it? They nervously waited and
but nothing came by the road. That was odd because they
knew that it was behind them. Whatever it was, was gone.
To make sure they waited for around a fifteen minutes still
nothing.
They turned the car on and proceeded back on the highway
road. As they were turning back on the road and headed for
a straightaway the lights appeared again instantly, as
though they were waiting for them to come out of their
hiding place.
This time they put the pedal to the metal and they stayed
at 100 mph with the lights still behind them. They saw a
small town up ahead. When they reached the small desert
town, they pulled into a gas station there, scared out of
their wits. They waited and the thing that was following
them never came by.
They slept in the car and when the dawn light came, they
started on their journey again. They never saw the light
again.
I am wondering if anyone has ever shared a similar
experience while traveling through the desert?
