SCARE STORY

ON THE WEST SIDE OF DETROIT THERE IS A STREET CALLED
BECK ROAD AND AT THE END OF THE ROAD IS AN OLD FARM
HOUSE. THE FARM HOUSE IS IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE TILL YOU
ARE RIGHT UP TO IT, THIS IS CAUSED BY THE WEIRD
FORMATION OF THE TREES ALONG THE ROAD. WHEN YOU DRIVE
DOWN THIS ROAD A LIGHT RESEMBLING THE SUN FOLOWS YOUR
CAR; IT NEVER CATCHES UP TO THE CAR OR DOES ANY HARM.

Submitter comment: KATHY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT CAUSED IT BUT DID THINK IT WAS
INTERESTING. SHE USED TO GO DOWN THE STREET WITH
FRIENDS WHILE SHE WAS IN THE EIGTH AND NINTH GRADES.
MYSTERIOUS HARMLESS LIGHT FOLLOWS CARS ON BECK RD.
