I'm Mel and I want to tell you what happened to me two years ago. It was very strange and unusual. At that time I worked as a driver and delivered pizza. So at about 8 pm I got my last order. It was not far from the place where I lived. So after delivery I could get home. I took the order and drove off. It was chilly outside, but no rain or wind. I delivered the pizza quickly but when I walked back to my car, I saw an old man, around his late 60s. He was standing near the side door. I said “good evening” to him.

Then he asked me, “Could you give me a ride, please?” He was quiet and polite, so I asked him where to. He didn’t look at me directly and said he needed to go to Chaptam. I knew the place, it was a long way from my home and across the bridge. But the old man was dressed in a thin old-style jacket and I couldn’t say no. I felt sorry for him. I couldn’t leave him alone in the chilly late autumn weather. “I can give you a ride,” I said, “get into the car”.

I drove slowly because of the rain started. The old man didn’t say a word. He looked out the window and smiled quietly to himself. He asked me to stop near the bridge. We got out of the car. The rain stopped and the sky cleared. It was a quiet evening. The old man started to sing a beautiful old song. I listened. But when I turned to look at him ... he was gone. I could hear the song but he was not there. I was scared!

There were no fences even large trees to hide behind. The road was empty for 200–300 metres in every direction. Somehow, the old man just disappeared. The only explanation I could think of is he was a ghost. Even now, when I drive along that road, I remember him and his song.
