Last fall, drivers along a quiet stretch of Highway 36 near Bennington, Nebraska, began encountering strange, dangerous obstacles late at night. A child’s bicycle. An upright kitchen chair. Segments of scrap metal. Each object appeared just before a crash, always in roughly the same few miles of road.
Drivers who swerved to avoid the objects often lost control
Several went off the road entirely. One car plowed through a wire guardrail and crashed into a ravine. Another bounced across the shoulder after striking debris head-on.
Strangely, in each case, before the dust even settled, a young man appeared at the scene.
A man typically walked up on foot or emerged from a parked car nearby
He offered to call 911. Asked if they were injured. Sometimes, he suggested they wait in his vehicle. No one took him up on it. Most left quickly, unnerved not only by the crash, but by how fast someone managed to find them in the dark.
Over the next several weeks, more crash victims came forward
They described near-identical experiences. The same type of object, the same stretch of road, the same man. Some said they saw him parked near the intersection before they crashed.
Others realized only later that he arrived far too quickly for it to have been a coincidence…
