It was the 20th of October around 1:30 PM in the afternoon. The day was
perfect with a blue sky and cool breeze. Up ahead, they spotted an old turtle
back auto going really slow. They were (1) by the vehicle - it wasn't something either of them had seen
before. Very unique, and definitely antique. But here's the thing. Even though
the vehicle looked like a blast from the past, it was in (2) condition. The two overtook the vehicle, but not before
slowing down right next it to check it out in detail. The car had a very
distinct large, bright orange license plate with the year "1940"
clearly printed on it, which was quite odd because antique cars like the one in
question weren't allowed to be driven on the road unless it was being used for
a (3) parade. Things just got
weirder from there. The person driving the car was a young woman dressed in
what appeared to be a "vintage" dress from the 40s complete with a
hat and a fur coat. There was a small child as well, dressed in a heavy coat
and a cap. As they (4) next to the car, the lady
started panicking. One could make out her face going pale with fear. She (5) started looking back and
forth as if she was in the middle of somewhere unknown. As if she really needed
some help, she was almost about to cry. L.C asked her if she needed any help,
to which she responded in the affirmative. But at no point did she roll down
the window or even look him in the eye. After requesting her several times to
halt the vehicle, they finally saw her pull over on the side of the road. L.C
and Bob passed her and pulled over in front of her. But as soon as they looked
behind, the vehicle was gone. Poof! Vanished into thin air. This was a highway
without any traffic so disappearing like this was quite impossible.
