Vanishing Taurus

This is a true story that happened to my Ex-Fiancé, Greg* and myself.

This took place in Fargo, North Dakota as I was on my way to go see my horses. Greg and I took my car, a white Ford Taurus. It was evening, but not pitch black out. As we approached our turn, a Taurus, similar to mine, was approaching from the opposite direction. Said car turned right and we caught a glimpse of the couple, an older couple, going the same direction as we were.

The road we were turning onto only had two turn off before we got to the barn. One halfway around the curve of the road, and another one about 1/2 mile down the road, then the barn. We passed the first turn off behind the older couple. They were going pretty slow so Greg goes to pass them after the curve when the road opens up and there are passing zones. It was a clear winter evening, chilly but nice out. Snow on the ground. Beautiful really.

Greg goes to pass and we look over, as people do, to see this couple talking and laughing. We both saw them. We pass them and go to get back into our lane and they. are. gone. Like, no headlights, no car, nothing. Just gone. We both looked at each other and asked, “Where did they go?” I suggested they turned their headlights off but, we would have seen some type of lights when they went by us or if they used the brakes. We thought maybe they had gone off the road so we drove back around and no tire tracks nor car in the ditch. They were just gone.

We go back to the barn and take care of the horses. Someone else comes in and we asked them if they came out the same way we did and if they saw anyone in the ditch? No, they didn’t see anyone either. We never did figure out what happened. The best guess is a ghost car. Or a glitch in the matrix.
