Eric's Urban Legends: "The Flashing Brights"
I heard about this lady from my hometown who had the most terrifying experience. I guess she was just getting into her car after a late-night trip to the grocery store. And just as she was driving out of the parking lot, she noticed a large truck following her out onto the main road. At first, the woman figured it was just a coincidence. After all, plenty of people lived down that way. She had nothing to be nervous about.
Just then, the truck behind her started flashing its brights, flooding the inside of her car with light! This rattled her quite a bit. She tried speeding up to lose the truck, but it sped up too. Then it started flashing its brights again!
Now it was obvious that the truck was following her. The woman tried harder and harder to lose the truck, but it kept following her, real close, and flashing its brights every few minutes.
As she neared her home, the truck was still following her and the woman was becoming frantic by this point. She pulled into her driveway, dove out of her car, and was about to race into the house to call the police when she looked back and couldn't see the truck anywhere.
Then she looked back in her car and realized that she hadn't been followed at all -- in her backseat was a very small truck flashing its brights at her! AND THERE WAS A VERY SMALL MAN WITH A HATCHET INSIDE!
