True Scary Trucker Horror Stories - AskReddit

on every window were tiny human-looking handprints truck drivers what's a creepy story you've got from the middle of nowhere i was driving through eastern washington on some state roads there were no rest stops or cities but i had done the route enough to know there were these massive dirt areas every 40 miles where you could park safely away from the road i decided to call it a night and closed my blinds and laid down to watch something on my phone after roughly an hour i hear someone try to open the driver's side door i haven't heard any vehicles on the road the whole time i'm parked but i get up to peek out the curtains as i'm looking out into the blackness of the driver's side window i hear them try the passenger side door i peek down from the top of the curtain but can't see anything so i start the truck and kick on the lights i'm fairly freaked out at this point so i'm still not opening the curtains but peeking through gaps nothing nobody is standing near either of my doors or parked within sight line i take a deep breath and close the sleeper curtains too because for some reason that's going to make things better right after laying back down and convincing myself that something blew against the truck and it only sounded like the doors it was fairly windy outside and a lot of flat ground i hear what sounds like someone trying to pry open the vents on the sleeper the door handles start clicking again and the truck starts shifting like someone is climbing on it i hit the little alarm button in the sleeper hoping to spook them off but it does nothing but add to the noise of door handles fingers tapping on windows and chassis and the hiss of air coming out of the suspension then suddenly it stops a few moments where i can only hear myself breathing in my heart pounding before i hear another truck approach and then drive by i spent the next few hours waiting for whatever it was to come back but it never did in the morning i couldn't find any footprints or damage to my truck but on every window were tiny human-looking handprints like a toddler had licked their hand and stuck it to my window over and over my dad drove a truck between edinburgh and london and tells this story often he was driving down the motorway and looked to his right saw a woman with a mistrunch bull bun as he describes it staring at him with a terrified expression from a car next to him before he really knows how to react the car pulls off at the next exit and my dad although shaken carries on about half an hour later a different car with a different driver pulls alongside my dad with the same woman in the passenger seat with the same expression on her face my dad thinks afters and plans to pull into the next services to report is even if it's nothing better to be safe than sorry right anyway the car disappears before he can get any details plates etc and he thinks there is no point calling the police with no details so he carries on driving literally about four hours later almost in london yet another car pulls alongside him with the same woman same miss trunchbull hair same terrified expression except this time she appears to be screaming at my dad through the window so my dad pulls over into a lay-by and calls the police apparently they have received three other calls about the same woman the same car in the same area in the last few minutes it is unfortunately anticlimactic as he never heard anything more about it but he didn't see her again and although he kept an eye on the news didn't see anything about it hopefully it's just a giant coincidence who knows my cousin works at a truck stop in kansas she told me about some guy who parked his truck and got out a woman got out of the passenger seat it was kind of cold so the trucker was wearing a cotton hat but the woman was wearing summer cloths my cousin thought nothing of it and did her whole hi welcome in the trucker bought a coffee but the woman just stood there in the doorway now my cousin was freaked out she didn't want to be rude but she was a teenage girl alone in a gas station in the middle of nowhere excuse me miss do you need anything she asked who are you talking to the truck driver asked when he got to the checkout the woman who got out of your truck my cousin pointed but the woman had disappeared she told me she had never seen a look of pure terror on a man's face he just whispered a quiet oh no got his coffee and left the woman did not get back into his truck and my cousin couldn't find her in the store she says it was one of the most terrifying experiences she had ever had while on that job i had a college teammate from miami tell a story that he swears on to this day he and his girlfriend were making the drive to naples late night on a two-lane road through the everglades and had been in a line of cars behind an 18-wheeler for multiple miles she fell asleep and he was surfing for something to listen to on the radio only one station came in clearly enough to be tolerable so he gave it a listen the dj came on and said something along the lines of the stars are extra bright in the everglades tonight if you're driving through there pull off and take a look he said he normally wouldn't even think of it but for some reason felt compelled to that night he woke up his girlfriend she was annoyed and didn't want to but he convinced her it would be worth it they stopped and just took in the stars for five to ten minutes he said it was the most amazing sky he's ever seen they get back on the road and drive another few minutes and come across a massive accident the truck they were following had jackknifed and took out a handful of vehicles that were following he said there are multiple fatalities but i've never been able to find a new story about it to confirm probably would have been in 2005 they most likely would have been involved if not for that random dj on the only radio station to come in that night not technically a truck driver but i used to work as a field technician in the oil industry so i spent a lot of time driving through remote areas of canada at odd hours one very strange and eerie experience sticks with me i was in either northeast bc or northwest alberta can't remember the exact location driving late at night when i noticed a very large black shape on the road in front of me thinking it was a moose i stepped on the brakes coming to a stop only a few feet from it despite being so close and having my headlights shining directly on it i still couldn't tell what i was looking at it was vaguely the shape of a four-legged animal but very big probably about six feet tall aside from that it was completely featureless i couldn't make out any details whatsoever no shine from its eyes nothing and then i noticed there were more of them in the ditch on both sides of the road five or six or maybe more all the same as the black shape on the road in front of me none of them were moving they didn't look like physical objects or living things more like just large patches of absolute darkness after i got over my shock dread started to set in and i drove around the thing on the road and sped off i don't really believe this was a paranormal experience i had been driving for eight plus hours through the middle of the night and i was exhausted most likely it was a hallucination caused by lack of sleep and spending too long staring straight ahead into the dark but it was still a very unsettling experience not a truck driver but i've spent the past four years driving every day slash night for work i was in a fairly rural part of mississippi somewhere between clarksdale and greenwood important note it's all tulane highway the 250-mile drive home the weather had turned pretty sour as i was leaving clarksdale i called my wife told her there was high wind advisories and very possible tornado threats throughout the delta and i'd call her as soon as i made it to a safe area again i had already been working for 14 hours when i got in the truck so i had ate dinner and grabbed some coffee to stay awake and alert now if you've never driven through flat farmland at night for 100 miles it's very fatiguing and spooky without inclement weather i had driven maybe 30 miles out into the farmland when hail started bouncing off my truck being a mississippi native i knew in july hail man tornado i pull off to the side i'm in the middle of nowhere no lights to be seen no cars behind or in front of me and start looking for the storm tornado i believe is approaching i rolled the passenger window down and shined a bright flashlight off into the night nothing there turn to the driver side and this guy has his face pushed against the glass grinning from ear to ear i screamed and he was gone i slammed the truck and drive and took off we have all the time running cameras on our trucks i got to the first safe place to stop and called my wife i didn't want to scare her so i didn't mention the guy or the hail storm i did however pull the sd card and check the cameras i promise you this guy never popped up on my front or rear cameras i've always played it off as my imagination i will say i don't drive through the delta in the dark anymore if i don't absolutely have to my great uncle drove big trucks living in the middle of nowhere sometimes people would leave trash on the road and since he had a big truck he'd just smash into said boxes or paper and continue on one day he was coming up on a cardboard box and just had the urge to swerve and miss this one he misses it and passes by with no incident he looks in his rear view to look at the box and out pops a kindergarten age little kid that just heads back to their house as if nothing happened years ago i read an answer on a thread with this question about a guy who was riding with his truck driver father as a child they were in the middle of nowhere and they were coming up on a person laying in the road with no one else around no cars etc his dad blew the horn they didn't move he blew it again as he got closer they didn't move he told his son to put his head down and cover his eyes and he ran the person over when they looked back a bunch of people who were previously hiding were running out of the woods and the gist was that his dad knew it was a setup for a robbery or worse and wasn't chancing it with his child in the car no clue if it was true or not but i think about that story all the time one story that was creepy to me was that i was driving across kansas on i-70 headed west there is a pretty long stretch out there that's just a couple little towns and not much else as the night wore on i realized i had been passed several times by this beat-up old motorhome several people sat with their noses almost pressed to the window watching me with creepy interest as they passed every time and i never noticed where i re-passed the mat a couple times i swear they passed me twice where there was no rest areas or exits to pull off at i would have seen them stopped somewhere but yet here they were passing me again they all looked like some variant of charles manson or some other freaky type had me pretty uptight by the time i got to the ta truck stop in limone and stopped for the night and almost every driver i know has seen stuff late at night that just can't be explained maybe it's fatigue or maybe not but i've seen very large man-like shadows cross the road way too fast for their size several times i ain't saying it's a bigfoot never got a clear view was always out at the end of the headlights where i couldn't be entirely sure i even seen anything but it sure looked like a large something crossing a whole road in just a couple of steps really weird as a crew guy of an off-road racing team in baja california mexico i got to test drive some rigs and trucks so technically truck driver we were driving down south along sea of cortez with a buddy at night at this four-hour dirt road to gonzaga which is pretty much in the middle of nowhere in the desert and we see the lights of a car behind coming down fast and now effectively tailing us and the bastard head bar mount headlights on top or what seemed like it which are super bright it's normal or was that locals and gringos get wasted in the nearest now former dukovic spring breaker town and then go down this road super fast to test their rigs since there's no police there so i try waving him off to get the guy to keep them light slow since he's blinding us but he isn't slowing down a bit nor turn his roof lights off and it was a dangerous super dark road finally near a curve near the shore i found a spot to bail off the road without crashing and we see lights passing by us super fast and going straight to the curve and we were like that's it he is going to crash down to the sea but the lights didn't fall and kept going straight into the beach in the sea and then pitched up abruptly to the ninth sky and disappeared we didn't say a word for a minute or so and then my buddy goes did you see it and i say the flying truck didn't talk about anymore as simply it didn't made sense to talk about it or with anyone else when we arrived around 2006 i was driving flat bed picked up a load of construction material drywall roofing don't remember but it was pre-packaged in boxes and i remember having to use strap protectors on the load in rural tennessee it was between memphis and nashville but closer to the intersection of the ms al d n state lines tarp required so i strapped everything down tarped the load and left the shipper about five miles down the road in the middle of nowhere woods on a two-lane road i noticed my tarp flapping in the wind found a wide shoulder and pulled over to fix it i realized that i just flat did a poor job tarping this load and decide to redo it on the side of the road undo all the bungee straps drag the tarps off roll them back up climb up on the load and start unrolling the tarps again and i see a guy walking down the same side of the road i'm on coming towards my truck i don't think anything about it other than to keep an eye on him cause i'm in the middle of nowhere and continue what i'm doing about the time i have tarps set in place and i'm climbing down to start hooking the bungee straps back on this dude is getting close enough that i'm now paying more attention to him than i am to tarping my load i grab my winch bar and set it on the trailer where i'm working just in case eight pounds solid metal bar about four feet long tapered to a blunt point on one and in hollow on the other used for tightening straps and chains etc the guy gets to me and the first thing i notice is his hair it's like a mullet but it's patchy as hell like he tried to cut his own hair and had a seizure in the process and said effort good enough to party the next thing i noticed were his eyes which i can only describe as off like they were clear i didn't think he was drunk or high or anything but it also gave me the distinct impression that the elevator didn't go all the way up clothes were dirty and not well maintained with dirty white tennis shoes because i remember he didn't have laces on one shoe and the tongue was noticeably out of place he stops by me waits until i acknowledge him and just says i've got a long walk i'm like yeah man you do we're in the middle of nowhere making it clear there's no right to be had here he nods starts walking by me continuing on his way stops at about the driver door on my truck and turns around comes back to me and repeats himself i've got a long walk at this point i explained that i can't give him a ride insurance and all that apologize for not being able to help him out and he seems to accept this turns around and leaves i wait for him to get a little ways away from my truck and start working on finishing the tarp job i still keep an eye on him and he's moving away from me as i'm putting on the last of the bungee straps i look over to check where he's at and he's turned around heading back towards me now about 100 yards in front of my truck and coming back my way it looks like he's talking on a cell phone has his hand up to his face and i can barely make out his mouth moving his other hand waving like he's having a conversation with someone i finish with the straps grab my winch bar and i'm climbing into my truck as he's about 10 yards away now soon as i'm in the cab i lock the doors and set the winch bar on the passenger seat just in case i look at the guy and realize he's not talking on a phone he's talking to his hand and now i'm nervous cause he doesn't look like he's having a nice pleasant chat it looks more like an angry conversation crank the truck up put it in gear and just pull out didn't look for traffic or anything as i pass him he's just looking at me still holding his hand to his face with this dead look on his face just staring at me gave me the creeps about the time i hit fifth or sixth gear i look in the mirror and there's no one there thanks for listening to radio tts hit the subscribe button and activate the
