Highway Temptress

Weekend got me frozen in shock people. Let me tell you what happened. Saturday morning we had a house-warming party to attend to. One of our friends bought a brand new house and so it was their party. They are Indians so there was this puja (prayer) and then lunch. I was all decked up in Indian gear and I kind of like doing that...makes me feel very cultural and Bollywoodish hehe. Well after having lunch we had another party to go to in the evening. A friend (Sara and her husband) invited our family and another group of friends for dinner and karaoke at their place (knowing how crazy we are about singing and how desperate we are to become suburban rock-stars). Their beautiful house is about a 45mins drive away from where we live. So all of us friends, sis, mum and I went there and had a great time that night...lovely dinner and then a whole lot of singing. We sang Air Supply, Chicago, ABBA, Bryan Adams, Spice Girls, Jim Reeves, John Denver etc etc. It was just great! The singing was so infectious that we couldn't stop till about 1:15am! Yeah mum didn't mind as long as she was with us so it was going on and on. Anyways then we decided we should hit the roads before it's too late so we all said our goodbyes, thankyous, hugs and mwahs and left. My sis was driving that night and I was seated in the front passenger seat. Mum was sitting at the back and all our other friends left in their cars. So once we hit the motorway, it was pitch dark (although there were lights every few metres) and looked quite haunted at that time of the night. So it was just the long dark massive road and us. I put the CD on just so that we all don't fall asleep and I started yakking as usual. Told my mum that these are the kinds of roads where some people see female ghosts asking for lifts at this time of the night. LOL just to scare mum. And she said 'yes I know and I even know so many real stories like that'. Then I was like goshhh I hope I don't see a ghost right now cos if I did I'd go mental (as if right now my mental state wasn't bad enough). Anyways we drove for about 40mins and we were just getting close to home. There's a left turn from the highway to the main road that leads to the suburb we live in. As we turned that corner ALL THREE OF US JUST FROZE IN COMPLETE SHOCK! It was about 1:50am and in that corner where 3 roads met, there's a lamp post. In front of that lamp post, there was a beautiful, tall Caucasian woman (about 20-25yrs of age) standing right there, beautifully dressed up in a black satin sleeveless top and black pants! She was holding a huge boquet of white roses (looked almost like funeral flowers) and she was holding it like she was holding a baby - so careful and smiling towards her arms! WHO/WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!!!!! I got goosebumps as I write this post! Trust me all 3 of us saw her and she was so close to our car. As we turned the corner she just stood there staring at our car! I was like 'MUMMMMMMMMMM did you see her????' and my mum was like 'who is this girl standing here at this time of the night with roses?????' My sis who was driving nearly braked hard and was absolutely gob-smacked! Trust me she's someone who doesn't believe in this kind of thing but after seeing that girl, she was totally jaw-dropped! She didn't know what to say. We wanted to drive back and see who she was but mum said lets just not be too brave at that time of the night. As we drove past her I turned and looked at her and I saw a very tall pale-looking beauty just suddenly frozen like a mannequin! She didn't cross the road (there was no pedestrian crossing there and it was a very busy junction where no pedestrians could usually be dropped or picked up at) and there were no houses on either side of the road. Just the long road and the bush! So who was she, what was she doing with a boquet of white roses at that time of the day, why was she so beautifully dressed like she was going to a wedding and that late at night? No she wasn't a prostitute cos that's not a place for such women to stand and she didn't look like one. And I remember I saw a a roadside grave (memorial flowers tied to that lamp post) EXACTLY at that point about a month ago when I was driving past it. Did we really see a dead girl that night?
