The Haunted Car
 
So, today I was sitting in my kitchen doing summer homework (I was the only one home) when all of a sudden a car from my garage starts honking. At first I thought it was just my parents coming home with the other car so I went outside to greet them. Nothing was there. I realized it must have been some car on the street, so I went back to my work. 5 minutes later, the horn goes off again and I hear something rustling in the garage. This time the horn was blaring for 4 straight minutes. At this point I was scared shitless. I go in the garage and sure enough the car is honking... and I caught a glimpse of someone, or something, behind the wheel. I ran back into my house and locked all of the doors and grabbed a knife from the kitchen. My hand was shaking terribly as the horn started honking again. Then, my phone rang twice, then went dead. That scared me to death. So I run outside with my dogs and slowly crept into the garage. Everything seemed normal so I began to feel relieved. I walked to the car door, peered inside and all of a sudden the horn starts blaring again at full blast. My dogs started barking and I ran out of there and didn't look back. I was so fuckinging scared it wasn't even funny. The car hasn't honked for half an hour, but I am still freaked out and my parents still aren't home. This isn't a joke...I'm serious.

lol, reminds me of a movie plot.. its a haunted car, and as soon as the little boy gets out to explore, some killers sneak into his house, and kill his dog.. after that they slowly..


oh, wait, this isnt really helping is it?

It's not haunted, just blame those darn squirrels. :p Anyway, what is there to be scared of? If it really was possessed there are two things that could happen, either the car keeps on honking for as long as you have it, or the spirits decide to kill you, which won't really matter to you for obvious reasons. :)

It ain't haunted. Either someone broke into your garage and is hiding under the seats of your car to freak the shit out of you, or you are lying.

V0rtex July 21st, 2004 12:50 PM

Re: The Haunted Car
 
Well, I'm not lying and if someone broke into the car to scar me, they are doing a good job.

Or the rabbits... those frickin' things give me the willies.

Take it from me, self-aware cars are NOT nice. Mine was homicidal for a while, accelerating of its own accord -- usually aiming for something. No, I'm not joking. I think it's dead... for now.

You should've called some other people over so they could be witnesses to it too...Could be something wrong with the car..but if it's not on I don't see how the horn could be going off..

Mr. Matt July 21st, 2004 01:35 PM

Re: The Haunted Car
 
Horns work when the engine's off. Don't they? Mine does. Not on its own though. Usually, it needs someone to press a button. Or kick it really hard. That works.

Re: The Haunted Car
 
I looked inside the car (when it finally stopped honking) and the door had not been tampered with and there was nothing inside....

Maybe it was a neighborhood kid trying to freak you out?

Booster1012 July 21st, 2004 02:36 PM

Re: The Haunted Car
 
Is it hott in your garage? Sometimes if sun shines directly on the stirring wheel or something for a long time it can melt/become warped and bend into the horn button causing it to go off. Sounds fun. Atleast it wasnt at night!

Re: The Haunted Car
 
Could be an electical defect. During my last holidays I had the exceptional luck to have a car parked next to my window which produced every 5 seconds an extremely annoying "beepupbeepup" sound, you know, this sound some cars produce to tell you that you locked the doors correctly with your remote.
Having to hear that for one whole night drove me nuts.
The next day some guy from the neighbourhood broke the car open and destroyed the beepingdevice, while I was applauding him :)

Ok, you wrote that you heard something in the garage, so maybe it's really a rodent, or just some kids who want to make fun of you.

Re: The Haunted Car
 
have you gone into the car and looked to see if there were any wires hanging out or anything?

Col Jimmy Emeric July 21st, 2004 03:54 PM

Re: The Haunted Car
 
if you dont see anything wrong with wireing try the next best thing a bat

V0rtex July 21st, 2004 04:16 PM

Re: The Haunted Car
 
No, there are no wires hanging anywhere. Everything seems to be in top shape. It was really weird, it was like someone was sitting behind the wheel honking the horn like a maniac, except no one was there...

Are you sure it wasn't the drugs?

V0rtex July 21st, 2004 06:44 PM

Re: The Haunted Car
 
Definitly not drugs. I have no drugs, don't do drugs, and would especially never do drugs while i'm doing my homework. :)

No it must have been on of Punk's stealth assasssins:rolleyes:. Get a gun. So if that happens again you can shoot and driver's seat and get who is doing that:lol:

Re: The Haunted Car
 
Haha, you got a knife?! Great idea. :)

Booster1012 July 21st, 2004 07:17 PM

Re: The Haunted Car
 
Hopefully a knife with seraded edges! ;)

Interesting story... :p

It's not a story, it's true....and it scared me shitless.

Was the car bought used by by any chance?

V0rtex July 21st, 2004 08:24 PM

Re: The Haunted Car
 
Nope, it was not a used car. Bought it in 2000 brand new.

Well then I can't help you. Unless you got such a good deal that your sales guy had to kill himself, I have no idea whats going on.

I'm puzzeled as well.

Is it a mercedes?

V0rtex July 21st, 2004 08:57 PM

Re: The Haunted Car
 
I wish. More like a Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Re: The Haunted Car
 
What about your car remote key thing I bet someone is using it to beep the horn.

V0rtex July 21st, 2004 10:16 PM

Re: The Haunted Car
 
No, it wasn't that kind of horn. It was a persistant honking, not the panic alarm on the car.

good luck lol sounds like it would scare me sh@tless.

It was the swarm. Mystery solved.

Mr. Matt July 22nd, 2004 01:33 AM

Re: The Haunted Car
 
You can read all these absolutely ridiculous suggestions of faulty electronics, kids fooling you, and suchlike, but we all know the truth. Your car has developed a mind of its own. And it is angry. The next step is for it to begin accelerating uncontrollably while you drive it, as it tries to kill itself, its occupants and everyone around it... or, something like that. Could just be faulty electronics I guess. But I think my explanation is far more likely.

No one came to investigate because I live out in the middle of nowhere. My nearest neighbor is 1.2 blocks away. I would sell the car, but I'm getting it for my 16th birthday. I don't want to be carless! Then again, I would rather be alive than have an insane murderous car trying kill me. :eek:

Did you check under the hood of the car? It's usually nice and warm there and some animal might have gotten into it and chewed on some wires. Then those wire might contact every now and then and start the honking...

Hmmm, I never thought of that. There have been some mice in my garage lately, so I'll go check.

V0rtex July 22nd, 2004 11:39 AM

Re: The Haunted Car
 
Ok, lifted up the hood and didn't find any animals, nests, or lose/chewed wiring. However, I did find a few pieces of grass/hay which might indicate a nest at one time, but it had clearly been abandoned for months, so I don't think that that was the cause.

Oompa July 22nd, 2004 11:43 AM

Re: The Haunted Car
 
Yup like I said it's the swarm. Soon in your sleep they will get in through your mouth or nose and start to control you. You will start to decay and then you will need the swarm to live. The swarm will then multiply and infect your friends and family. Then soon the whole world will be infected.
