Accident But A Strange One

This incident has happened recently. Although I neither saw nor felt anything unusual myself, I was very much a part of this strange incident.

It was in the month of December 2016 and I was visiting my home town in North Bengal. My flight landed at Bagdogra Airport around late afternoon. From Airport, I took a taxi to my hometown. To reduce the fare a bit, I was sharing my taxi with a Lady, who was about to get down at a village on the highway to my hometown. Later, we found out that actually, her house was in another smaller village about 10 kms from the previously said village. This 10 Kms was a typical village road which passed through a deserted area. It took us an extra hour to reach her house. By this time, it was getting dark. After dropping her, the taxi turned towards the highway again. Now that I was alone and with the entire backseat at my disposal, I fell asleep. Suddenly my taxi driver applied emergency brakes. And although, we were not travelling at a high speed, but the force was strong enough to throw me out of my seat. On asking what has happened, he told that he thinks that he has just ran over a teenage girl in school dress. He was very nervous and asked about what should be done. After a quick discussion, we decided to take the victim to nearest medical facility and got out of the taxi. But there was no sign of anyone or anything. My driver was speechless, amused and confused and started searching the roadside bushes. After a while, I suggested that, he might have fallen asleep too or might have hallucinated or something like that. But he kept on saying that it was real. After searching for another five minutes or so, we started our journey again.

After reaching the highway, we stopped at a tea stall for a break. While having tea, my driver narrated our experience to the tea stall owner. The tea stall owner turned out to be from the same area. What he told freaked us out. Firstly, about a month ago, A school girl was indeed run over and killed by a truck at almost the same place and around almost the same time of the day. And secondly, we were not the first people to experience this unusual incident.
