Friday, February, 24, 2017.

When on long road trips, I'm usually looking at the road or the scenery going by while talking with Carrie or listening to Music via my iPhone. I had gone down to New Orleans to surprise a couple of friends. All went well and we had a great time. On the morning of February 24th, I checked out of the Wyndham Hotel early so as to get a jump on the traffic since the "supreme madness" of Mardi Gras would be commencing later that day. I was awake and alert while driving and concentrating on the drive ahead of me. Not long after leaving the vicinity of Baton Rouge and going through the wetlands of Louisiana, I became aware of a presence.....in my car! In the peripheral vision of my right eye, I saw a young woman. She had long, wavy black hair and was wearing big, round sunglasses, kind of like the type that were in style back in the 1960's. (Picture Jackie Onassis)

When I looked right at her, she would be gone. She never looked at me, but only at the road ahead. She never said a word, even when I spoke to her. (Heh, talking to a ghost.) Instead of continuing on I-10, I took a right turn onto 96 in Beaumont and then a left on 105. From that point on, I never saw her again. I am left wondering who she was and why she chose to ride with me out of Baton Rouge in the middle of the night.
