BELIEF - GHOSTS

THESE PEOPLE WENT DRIVING NEAR ROANOKE, VIRGINIA. THEY STOPPED
THE CAR AND WERE SITTING THERE WHEN A HAND REACHED OUT AND
CAUGHT HOLD OF THE HANDLE OF THE CAR DOOR OUTSIDE. A HAND WAS
ALL THEY COULD SEE. IT WAS ALL BLOODY AND TORN UP. THEY TOOK
OFF AS FAST AS THEY COULD, BUT THE HAD FELL OFF AND THEY
COULDN'T FIND IT. THEY FOUND OUT THE NEXT DAY, THAT A MAN
HAD BEEN KILLED WHERE THEY WERE THAT NIGHT.
