“I have a weird one. Backstory. Was 18 years old. My father had just tried to commit suicide. He was in intensive care at the hospital, and after me and my mum went to visit him we went to my grandmother’s house that lived nearby. Around midnight we decided to go home, and since my mother does not like highways, we took an old mountain road. Around half the way home, going downhill, i noticed that the inside of the car was really bright, so I look at the side and back mirrors to see if a car behind me had the lights on max, but there was nothing. I say to my mom that’s really bright inside the car, and she answers me that she noticed that a few minutes back but she thought it was her imagination, so she said nothing. (It was a tough time for her and me, the doctors had told us that my father would not survive the night) I started looking around us (while driving never stopped) and notice a light between the trees. It looked like one of those helicopters focus lights, but it was behind the trees and the brightness inside the car did not change or was being interrupted, and that when I notice that it was just inside the car (a Suzuki samurai pick up, 2 seats), outside it was still pitch black. It was just inside the cabin. That’s when I got scared, I told my mom about the light outside and increased the speed to get out of the woods to try to get a better look at it. As soon as I cleared the trees the light faded, it didn’t shoot up anywhere, just faded, and the inside of the car went dark. My mother is convinced that it was an Angel or a light from Holy Mary.

I told a couple of my friends but was ridiculed, and to this day no one believes me. Once in a while my mother and I still talk about it. My father survived, (and actually tried to commit suicide again a month before my weeding last year). He survived again and is under medication. I still think about it. Especially when I drive at night. There is something out there…”
