3 True Rainy Night Horror Stories (With Rain Sounds)

It was one of those late-night drives that I didn't usually find myself embroiled in. The clock was inching past 11 pm, and the rain outside showed no sign of relenting. This wasn't my regular routine, but every once in a while, a special delivery necessitated working past the usual store hours.

The stores I delivered to were spread out, and most of the journey unfolded on long, uninspiring highways. But on this particular night, I saw something up ahead that piqued my curiosity—headlights cutting through the dark and the rain-soaked road.

I picked up speed, effortlessly reaching their pace. What lay ahead was an old pickup truck, crawling along the road as if it was terrified of skidding on the wet surface. It felt impractical, to say the least. Impatience started creeping in, and I began to search for an opportunity to overtake the sluggish truck.

I accelerated, signaling my intent to pass, but just before I could make my move, disaster struck. The truck lost control, veering off the road in a heart-stopping moment. It was a nerve-wracking sight, but I wasn't prepared for the unusual events that would follow.

[Applause] That wasn't the end of my night.

A Chance Encounter

Despite it not being my fault, I couldn't just leave the stranded driver without offering some form of assistance. However, my attempt to dial 9-1-1 was futile - there was no signal. Anxiety gnawed at me as I watched, from my van, the truck down the slope, narrowly avoiding a few trees.

Unable to contain my concern, I ventured out into the cold, unforgiving rain. The truck seemed lodged in some bushes but not terribly damaged. As I approached the driver's side, the fogged-up window obscured my view of the person inside.

I knocked and, with trepidation, pushed the door open. There, in the driver's seat, sat a man who appeared frantic, trying desperately to restart the truck.

"Hey, are you okay? Do you need help?" I inquired, extending a hand of assistance.

He looked at me in silence, his eyes revealing a myriad of emotions. After what felt like an eternity, he finally responded, "Give me a ride."

I suggested taking him to the nearest gas station, where he could call for help, but that was the extent of my commitment. After a moment of contemplation, he reluctantly agreed. He emerged from the truck, and together we walked back to my van.

Throughout the journey, he maintained an unsettling presence. The rain poured down, and his eyes were locked on me, as if studying my every move. It was eerie, but maybe he was merely being cautious.

We sat in the van, and I began to drive, unsure of how far the nearest gas station was. Our initial attempts at small talk fell flat, with the man's responses being curt and emotionless. I considered that perhaps the car accident had left him with a pounding headache. Nevertheless, his silence made for an awkward atmosphere.

Periodically, I would glance at him, only to find him staring back at me, neither smiling nor frowning, just observing. I couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to this man than met the eye.

Unraveling a Strange Encounter

Our relief came into view as the lights of a small town shone ahead. But as we approached, the man's behavior took a bizarre turn. He started looking around, both inside the car and out, as if he were paranoid.

Upon reaching the gas station, I parked and inquired if he needed further assistance. He remained silent, his demeanor increasingly tense. Desperate to break the silence, I suggested my imminent return to the road.

Suddenly, the man's behavior shifted drastically. He looked around, then lunged at me, shoving me against the van door with force. Panic and confusion seized me as he began to pummel me.

However, just when I feared the worst, the van's passenger door flew open. It was as though an unseen hand had intervened, pulling the man away from me. Gasping for breath, I watched in astonishment as two police cars arrived at the scene, officers subduing the man who had turned on me.

Unveiling the Dark Truth

The police officers were tight-lipped about the details, but it soon became clear that the man was fleeing a serious crime, driving a stolen truck. They had tracked the crashed vehicle and stationed officers at the gas station, unaware that the fugitive was with me. It was their swift action that had prevented a potentially fatal encounter.

Reflecting on the incident, I couldn't help but marvel at how I had unwittingly become entangled in a dangerous situation. The man's unsettling presence concealed a dark secret, one that could have cost me dearly.
