The
Dead Woman Who Flagged Down a Motorist to Save her Baby-Fiction!
Summary of eRumor: A
man and his wife are out for a drive when they see a woman waving at
them in the middle of the road ahead. As they get closer, they see
she's got cuts and bruises, so they stop to help. The woman says
she's been in a car accident and that her husband is dead. Her
baby, however, is still alive in the car which is in a deep ditch.
The driver leaves the woman with his wife, rushes to the wrecked car,
and sees that the baby is still alive, but that two other people in the
car have died. He returns to his car with the baby, but the
injured woman is gone. The driver's wife says she followed him
when he went down to rescue the baby. The man returns to the car
to discover that, to his shock, the woman who flagged him down and asked
him to rescue the baby is one of the two dead people in the car.
The Truth: |
We're
classifying this one as fiction for a couple of reasons. One is
that this story has nothing in it that would lead someone to the facts
to authenticate it. No names, locations, or dates. Another
reason is that it closely resembles a category of urban legends known as
"The Vanishing Hitchhiker." In many of those stories, a
motorist gives a ride to a mysterious person who, it is later
discovered, was dead.
IF ANYBODY HAS FURTHER INFORMATION ABOUT THIS STORY, LET US KNOW!
A real example of the story as it has
been circulated:
Why Not??
One afternoon, a couple was traveling on the road when all of a sudden
at a far distance they saw a woman in the middle of the road asking them
to stop.
The wife told her husband to keep on driving because it might be too
dangerous, but the husband decided to pass by slowly so he wouldn't stay
with the doubt on his mind of what might have happened and the chances
of anyone being hurt. As they got closer, they noticed a woman with cuts
and bruises on her face as well as on her arms. They then decide to stop
and see if they could be of any help. The cut and bruised woman was
begging for help telling them that she had been in a car accident and
that her husband and son, a new born baby, were still inside the car
which was in a deep ditch. She told them that the husband was already
dead but that her baby seemed to still be alive. The husband that
was traveling decided to get down and try to rescue the baby and he
asked the hurt woman to stay with his wife inside the their car.
When he got down he noticed two people in the front seats of the car but
he didn't pay any importance to it and took out the baby quickly and got
up to take the baby to it's mother. When he got up, he didn't see the
mother anywhere so he asked his wife where she had gone. She told him
that the woman followed him back to the crashed car. When the man
decided to go look for the woman, he noticed that clearly the two people
in the front seats were dead; a woman and a man with both their seat
belts on. When he looked closer, he noticed that it was the exact same
woman that was begging them for help in the beginning.
Do you think that it was a miracle of God? The Baby now lives with
family members and he will live to tell the story. If you believe
in the Almighty and that miracles like these can truly happen, send this
to your friends. If you don't send it, nothing will happen, only that
the some people won't be able to know of the greatness of the Lord.
