Long ago I read a story about roads, but I really don't remember where I read it and I don't even remember where this story took place.
The truth is that somewhere in my beloved country a taxi driver, of those who travel the roads at night, decided to drive at night because it was much better to drive in the moonlight than in the sunlight. At night there was less traffic, as well as more passengers who really wanted to take a taxi and not just ask for prices and end up not getting inside, since "it's very expensive".
He was going down a street lit only by lanterns and a woman stopped him. The woman just got into the vehicle. As she entered the cab, sitting in the back stalls, she told the driver to take her to the direction she was indicating.
The driver noticed the woman when the lantern light hit her, young, well dressed. She wore a silk blouse with lace at the neck, a tulle veil that covers half of her black hair. Her hair covers a little below her neck but the tulle supports it.
The man asks her "What is a young woman like you doing, alone at this time of the night, going that far away?". She tells him that she was visiting a friend and was late, so she had to take a taxi to go there, which is a bit far away.
They continued talking along the way until they reached the young woman's address. The girl gets out of the vehicle and tells the man in the taxi to wait for the money, then she enters the house. Soon after, the taxi driver realizes that the woman doesn't go out to pay and that she left her tulle in the car.
He turns off his car and knocks on the door of the house. When the door opens an elderly woman comes out with a worried face and asks the driver what is happening. He tells her about the woman that just entered her house, who left her veil in the car and told him to wait for the payment.
The lady opens the door of her house further, when she does so she reveals a wall facing the street, where there is a portrait of the girl in a large frame, with the same clothes she was wearing and even the same tulle. The man tells her that the girl in the painting is the one he's looking for.
The woman invites him to come in and with tears in her eyes says: "That's my only daughter. She went out to a friend's house and was late so she couldn't get the bus. She grabbed a taxi, but on the way a truck rammed them and killed them both on the spot. Every now and then she does the same, takes a taxi and goes home. She leaves something in the taxi and asks the drivers to wait for their money. Only then do I know when she comes home again".
She continues "I'm used to it now. I pay the taxi, pick up her veil, and then she comes back another day and takes another taxi"
The lady gives the money to the driver and he, still not completely believing the story, but with a sense of dread, gets into his vehicle and leaves.
That's so creepy but there are a lot of accounts of ghost stories like that. At least this one isn't out to harm the victim. She just simply wants to go home
