Legends of my country: "La novia de La Guaira" This is an urban legend. It's a story that happened on a highway in my country. There is a highway that connects a state with my country's capital and this is what happened there... Legend has it that one fine night, María José Cárdenas from the *La Guaira* state was preparing to leave for the capital, Caracas. She was very excited because she was getting married.
She was ready to go, but her car would not start, no matter how hard she tried her vehicle would not start. It's then that she decides to call a taxi. While she was on the way to the place where she would congregate, the taxi happened to break down. The taxi then stops and she goes to stop some other vehicle to take her there. She tried several times until a car finally stopped, she thanks the driver and gets inside. But what the girl had not noticed is that the driver was drunk, while on a curve the driver could not correctly maneuver! A car crash ensued, both losing their lives in this accident. Legend has it, that since that day the ghost of the girl usually appears at night and tries to stop a car. Once she gets into the car and passes near the scene of the accident she tells the driver: "I died here" and then disappears. This of course, scares the poor driver- incidentally, the girl chooses those drivers who are drinking- the drivers then lose control of the vehicle and ends up in a car accident. Some other times, she only leaves a bouquet of flowers when passing by the place of her death. Of course, when the driver realizes they're no longer carrying a passenger... the same thing always happens, an accident. The legend also says that, on the occasion that the driver does not stop to take this passenger, the ghost of the girl appears later on in the same night, stops him and asks: "Why won't you take me?" Of course, like any good legend, they say that this isn't fictional and that it really happened.

Every place has an urban legend. Here in our country has one also. But your story really scares me. Just imagine, at night, in a highway where you can see the girl and then tell you that she died there. Pretty scary.
Yes, it must be terrible for a driver and even worse if he is under the influence of alcohol. It is interesting that you talk about the content of the text. It is my great pleasure when the user reads the post. Thank you very much.
You're welcome gertu13. Well i should read the article for me to know what to comment about it right? And it really catches my attention because i like scary stuffs..
That should be the logical thing to do. But if you see some other comments you will notice that some are just saying nonsense and that is their comment to receive points. for them I have no answer.
Yeah, you are right about that. Well that can't be helped. Let's just ignore it.
That is a good story. Let's hope not everyone who died on a road or highway stops cars and build accidents. For the (drunk) drivers blaming her is a great excuse.
But for the law, there is no excuse that includes "ghosts".
This is really creepy but a good reminder to all drivers to not drink. I have heard similar stories too of souls with unfinished business. Such an unfortunate thing to happen to the girl due to the recklessness of others.
Yes, this is a very sad story and the fact that it keeps popping up on the road makes me very sad. Because it was tragic and his soul has no peace.
