One night a young couple were driving home from a party. they didn't feel like heading straight home so the boyfriend said "Lets go for a drive so we can spend some time alone together." His girlfriend agreed so they set off down a lonely country road and were soon far away from any houses and got deeper into remote bushland. Suddenly the car hit a log fallen across the middle of the road. The couple were startled when the car jolted to a stop, they had not seen the log in time. The boyfriend said "I'd better take a look to see if theres any damage", the girlfriend shivered with apprehension as it was so dark outside. "Be careful" she murmured.
After a while the boyfriend came around to the window. "The log we hit has damaged the car badly and we wont be able to drive it . I will need some help to fix it. I thought I saw a light on a few miles back so I will go and see if I can get help." "No its too dangerous." said his girlfriend. "Don't worry I'll be fine, anyway we have no choice ". The girl said, "I'm coming with you". "No you stay here and lock all the doors and no matter what, promise me you wont get out of the car".The girl felt very fearful but agreed to do as he said.
More than an hour passed and the boyfriend had not returned. The girl began to worry and thought about getting out to go look for her boyfriend. Then she remembered the promise she made to him and decided to wait a bit longer. She put on the radio to try and take her mind off the rising fear she felt. The only station she could pick up was a was a boring local country station. She listened to a few songs and then a news broadcast came on. There was a story about an escapee form a local lunatic asylum. People were warned to lock all their doors as this deranged escapee was considered extremely dangerous. The girl became even more fearful but decided to stay put and wait for her boyfriend. She must have dozed off for she was awoken by a loud "tap tap tap" on the roof of the car. Startled she looked out the windows to see if it was her boyfriend returned, but she could see nothing but darkness. The sound came again tap....... tap.......... tap, and she wondered what could be causing it?. Too fearful from the events which had passed that evening she could not bring herself to get out to see what it was. The noise continued tap......... tap......... tap, this went on for some time.
Suddenly she was blinded by harsh light and could see headlights shining through the front windscreen. She hesitated wondering if it was safe to get out when she heard a voice over a megaphone 'You in the car, I want you to listen very carefully. I want you to slowly get out of the car and come toward me. I am a police officer and it is very important that you do exactly what I say. You are in danger. You must get out of the car immediately and slowly walk over here but whatever you do don't turn around and don't look back!" She heard the noise again tap........... tap.......... tap. Shaking with terror she slowly opened the car door . She climbed out of the car, the policeman said "that's it, now walk towards me without any sudden movement and remember whatever you do don't look back!" She quickened her pace as she got closer to the police car and as she almost reached the officer she couldn't help herself and turned around. There on the roof of the car was a bent over figure of a man holding a stick, on the end of the stick she saw to her great horror her boyfriends severed head, the figure was banging it on the roof tap............ tap............. tap.
It has the two college kids making out in the back seat of their car on a lonely deserted road. When they go to start the car it won't start. The guy goes for help whilst the girl stays behind. She falls asleep and is woken by the scraping of branches on the car roof. The only thing is - it's not branches, it's the mangled body of her boyfriend.
*Here is a variation of the story "head on a stick". Where I live, I heard this story thousands of times, and almost each version was different...Here is one of them.
This version of the story is called:
It happened a while ago in Lyon, France. A killer know as "Le bourreau de Lyon" was haunting everyone in Lyon and the police was unable to catch and arrest him.
Also, in an high school, people from a class were disappearing, day by day there was another victim. In this class, Marie and Paule were really close friends. They were very worried for their lifes: Each day someone was missing, presumed dead and never to be found.
One night, A guy called Marc had just had a brand new car given from his father, for he had good grades at school. It not too late (8Pm) and he wanted to try his car out. He called his girlfriend, Marie, and asked her if she would come with him.
-"I dunno Marc, this is dangerous! The bourreau is coming out at 9pm, and listen to the radio..." She turned on the radio and Marc heard the announcer saying "Don't go out of your houses tonight! The bourreau will be roaming, please stay in safety, lock your doors..." Marc turned it off. He said: "C"mon, we don't have to worry about that! If you're afraid, we'll go in the countryside road, just like we were doing when we were younger!"
Marc being confidant, she accepted, and so they went out.
They were on this beautiful countryside road and everything was fine...except that Marc didn't thick that, in a brand new car, the gas tank is NEVER full. They went out of gas in the middle of the forest. The only thing they could see was the light from an house nearby. Marc told Marie: "Listen, I'm gonna go to this house there and ask if they have some gas or if I could call a tow truck."
-No!!!!! We can't go there!! The Bourreau is out tonight, we might get killed!!! And she started crying, telling him that they should've never went out that late, after all the warnings. Marc said: "OK, I'm gonna go there alone, if someone is to get killed tonight, that'll be me. You will stay in the car and hide inside the back seat while I go and get some gas. Lock all doors and go inside the bench and DO NOT MOVE FROM THERE, WHATEVER CAN HAPPEN!!!!" She was scared and decided to accept, she went in the car, locked all the door and open the back seat (this was the kind of old cars were the you could use the back seat as a trunk...) Then she heard her boyfriend's footstep going away.
It was being 15 minutes he was gone...now 20...now 30. She was worried sick. Finally, she heard footstep coming near, she thought to herself: "At last!!! He came back at last!" But instead of hearing the expected "Honey! I'm back with the gas!!!" She heard nothing but footsteps walking around the car, like if someone wanted to see if it was empty. She remained still, she hardly breathed, didn't want to make a sound. The car's door opened. She knew now that it wasn't Marc. And she was hearing that strange Thumping noise in the distance. Marie heard the back doors unlocking, then opening. She wanted to wake up, she hoped that it what just an awful nightmare but it was not. Now, someone was lifting the back seat. Here she was, shaking, scared as hell, face down inside the seat. She heard a gentle voice: "Please don't be afraid. Stay calm, I'm here to help you. Something has happened to your friend, you have to come with me." Then he put his hand on her eyes. She started to scream but the man put his other hand on her mouth: "Nooo! Don't scream! Please follow me, you are safe now! All you have to do is follow me and don't look...You have to close your eyes, there are things out there that you must not see!"
She was going crazy, what was happening??? She wanted to follow the man, but she couldn't stop thinking about her boyfriend...and that damned noise!!! What on earth was it???
She finally followed the man, he held her head downward so she couldn't see nothing but their feet. An then she saw, and she understood! There were blood stains on the man's boots!!!! She yelled in horror, struggled out of the man's grip and then she saw. The noise, the thumping noise was caused by her boyfriend's head! He was hanged on the roof of the house they saw earlier and the wind made his body knock against the wall!!! MARC WAS DEAD!!!!! She panicked and started to run, run as fast as she could, maybe even faster than that. She tripped unto a root, and everything went black...
When she finally woke up, she was inside an house. She had a terrible ache in her knee, wanted to touch it but, her hands were tied against the table! She turned her head around. She was in a large room, in an ancient manor. The walls were made of brick and she could see that she was in a basement. There were empty tables next to her. With a closer look, she saw that they weren't tables but a tourturers stretching engine. She was on one of these engines too and, next to her, there were someone else. It was Paule, her best friend. -Paule!! Paule!!! She whispered. -Paule!!! It's me! Marie! What happened? Where are we?? She wouldn't answer. Footsteps were now coming near them. It was the Bourreau. He was behind the engines so she couldn't see him. -Well, well, well. We've tried to escape??? tsk tsk tsk...You know I need both of you here! Marie was panicked, there were something wrong with this voice, yet she couldn't find out what it was. The man approached Paule's engine. MArie couldn't see the Bourreau's face but she KNEW she knew this man. The Bourreau had a fork in his hand. He talked gently to Paule: "My dear, I have an interesting thing to show you! I hope you won't mind. You see this fork here? I'm gonna plunge it into your eye socket...ooh! don't worry this won't hurt! Then, I'm gonna put it under your eye ball and pop the eye out! What is interesting is that I will put the optic nerve between the fork's tooth so it won't break and you will still be able to see!" Marie was disgusted. She knew she was going to die and decided to try at least something. She said: "Hey you F****R!!! What kind of a sicko are you???"
The Bourreau turned back and smiled. Marie then recognized who he was. He was the teacher of her class!! -Mr. Robert??? -Oh yes my little Marie Bonneau!! What can I do for you?? You have questions about the next examination?? You know you didn't do well in the last one, that's why I have to punish you! And punish Paule, and Lisa, and Catherine , and...."
While he was talking, she managed to undo the knots that tied her arms, she raised and kick the Bourreau where it hurts. He kneeled and swore after her. She also managed to escape from the house, using this good old trick: she went past a doorway and took a small statue that was there. Then she waited the Bourreau to come through the same doorway and she hit him on the head with the statue. He fell unconscious and she could escape.
She went home, told her parents about what had just happened. Her parents were suspicious: "Have you proofs of what you say?? Mr. Robert is such a nice teacher, and we all respect him." She thought she was wasting her time with that, she would find some kind of proof and show it to them.
The next day, she went into school, being very careful not to meet her teacher. She waited near the school to see when he'll enter, so she could go after him. After the first hour of classes, he wasn't arrived so she thought he wouldn't be coming that day. She went inside the school and saw everyone was shocked and panicked! The janitor had found eyeballs in Mr. Robert's drawer!!! The police went to his house and found him unconscious. Searching the house they also found the corpse of all the other students! They were pus in coffin like boxes with their latest exams that weren't too good...!
*Ok that's it...This is the most complex version I ever heard of the story, I also heard another one where it was the tongue that was taking out and other little details. I think there was really a killer in Lyon. But, if the ORIGINAL (Less complex) story is true! then who could've tell it to anyone??? If the girl heard the thump thump, and was found by the killer, I believe he would'Ve kill her too! hehehe anyway, it'S a really good story to tell at the fireside while camping! Hope it will be helpful to you...*
It starts of with a married couple going on a cross-state trip in the car. Here in Sabah the jungles are pretty much still all over the interior of the state, and the roads through these deserted places are mostly used by logging trucks to bring timber to the docks for export. So this couple was on the road, minding their own business when -yes, you guessed it- they run out of gas. So the husband decides to get out on foot and head for one of the occasional gas stations by the road; despite his wife's protest. The wife -as expected- stays in the car. After and hour or so, another lone driver passes her car, screeches to a stop somewhere further along the road and backs up really fast next to the wife's car. The guy in the other car is ghostly pale and asks her to get out of the car immediately and get into his car. And the wife does. So now she's in the passenger seat and the guy grabs her by the arms so hard it hurt. He asks her to take a look at her car. She does and she sees her dead husband on the roof, drained of blood.
The culprit of the husband's death is most likely to be a 'pontianak' a local female vampire of sorts. 'Pontianak' can appear anytime and almost anywhere (repelled by holy places) but always seem to only feast on men. She appears as a hauntingly beautiful lady, almost ethereally beautiful and seduces men to come closer and closer and then she'll suddenly turn into this hideous old crone with fangs and suck her victims dry. The sure-fire way to tell whether that lone beautiful lady is to look at her feet. For some reason, the 'pontianak' can't touch the ground, she always hovers just above the ground. She can be repelled by fire.
Another version I have heard is that the girl who is waiting in the car hears a tap-tap-tap of (1) water dripping on the hood, but it's not raining or (2) a scraping and when the police show up and tell her to get out and not turn around, which of course she does, she sees her boyfriend has (1) hung himself from a branch above the car or (2) has been hung and mutilated. the water sound would be the boyfriends bladder having given way after death, the scraping would be the tips of his shoes on the top of the car.
One night a married couple were riding down a dirt road when they ran out of gas. Well the man being a man told the woman to stay in the car and he was going to go get gas. Well the woman fell asleep hours later she woke to find that the outside of the car and all around was very foggy. She saw a lantern float across the front of the car. She didn't think anything about it and fell back to sleep. Hours later again she woke to hear a thud and she saw blood go down the front of the car. When they found the car in the morning the girl was all right but she had gone crazy. They found her husbands head next to the car and the body on the hood of the car.
The story goes that one night an old man carrying a lantern and killed the man and the person did not come to justice. Every night at 12:00 midnight the ghost of the old man comes across the road with the lantern looking for the person who killed him. If you are on monkey road at midnight and you get out of your car they will find you in the morning with your head cut off. Apparently if you run over the ghost of the old man and keep on going you will be alright.
This is a version of "Head on a Stick" that I read in some scary story book.
It's Prom night and Sarah and Josh had had a great time and now they were on their way to an after-prom party. On the way there the limo Josh had rented ran out of gas. He realized that the gas guage was broken. Then he had the idea to go see if there was a gas can in the trunk. He came back emptied handed. He told Sarah that he'd have to go find a gas station.Then Sarah screamed, "You can't lave me here alone. Haven't you heard about the loose maniac?" Josh said,"Those reports are exaggerated and you'll be safe here, in the car."
Sarah was worried they'd miss the party and Josh said they couldn't get there without gas. He said there was a service station a few miles back and that he'd run there and get a ride back. Sarah asked him not to leave because she was scared.
Josh went and got a blanket and Told Sarah to lie down in the back of the car with the blanket over her and to keep the doors locked. Sarah asked how'd she know it was him when he came back. He said he'd knock three times on the hood of the car.He left and Sarah was left alone.
According to the clock it was 1:00am. Sarah looked out the window and realized there were no houses around and that the moon wasn't out. The limo was under a huge tree and on the other side of the road was an open field. After a little while she slowly drifted to sleep.
THUMP. Sarah awoke frightened and thought it must be Josh. THUMP,THUMP. She pulled the blanket off her head.THUMP,THUMP. Suddenly she was very scared and she became paralyzed. She remembered Josh had said three knocks. She wondered if she sholud call his name. But what if it wasn't him? She lay perfectly still.
THUMP,THUMP...THUMP...THUMP. She knew it wasn't Josh. She wondered if it could be the escaped maniac knocking on the hood. It seemed as if the thumping continued for hours. Her muscles were killing her from being so tense and she wanted to scream but she didn't dare move. Then she heard another car approaching. It stopped behind her. There was a bright light being passed over the car. She tried to scream but her throat was to dry. Then over a loudspeaker she heard"This is the police. Is anyone in there?" She sat up and was blinded by the light. The cop asked her if she was ok and she nodded. They told her to get out of the car and to walk directly toward the light and to not look behind her no matter what.
She unlocked the door and got out. Slowly, she walked toward the light wondering why they didn't want her to turn around. She couldn't take it any longer. She looked at the limo and froze. The scream she'd been holding back finally came out.
Above the limo was Josh,hanging from a noose tied to the tree. His legs were dangling and swaying in the breeze. His feet kept hitting the hood of the car.THUMP,THUMP.
