It was a cold, dark Thanksgiving evening in rural West Virginia. My family and I were on our way home from my grandpa’s house after enjoying Thanksgiving dinner. We were driving along a place called Lower King Shoals, an area that already feels a little spooky after dark.
We were traveling down a straight stretch of road when, all of a sudden, the car’s blind spot monitors went off. The warning indicated that something was beside or behind us, as if another vehicle was about to pass.
My dad slowed down a little to let it go around.
But nothing passed us.
There was not another car in sight.
Since I have always been obsessed with paranormal things, my mind immediately went to the accidents that have happened in that area over the years. I could not help wondering if maybe someone was still traveling that road in ghostly form.
Whatever caused the warning, we never saw anything there.
It definitely gave a whole new meaning to the term “blind spot.”
