True Scary Stories

6. Don't Go Under the Bridge!

One day a man had to get to his destination. He wanted a shortcut so he wouldn't have to deal with the traffic. He found an abandoned bridge and driving underneath it would lead him to a shortcut. But there was a sign under the bridge saying "Do not enter! Haunted bridge!" He ignored it, thinking it was a pretty stupid joke. He drove under the bridge anyway. Halfway through, the engines stopped and it was pitch black under the bridge's shrotcut. He was panicked and heard someone knocking on his window. Then it went to excessive slamming. He couldn't see who it was since it was so dark, so he just fell asleep, happy that he locked his car's doors. The next morning, he awoke in brightness. He was relieved that he survived and that his engines were working again. He looked around and saw that his car's windows had handprints on them. So it was true! he thought. He drove to the carwash to get the prints removed. The cleaner said, "Sorry, I can't clean it. I will only clean it if you allow me to go inside to clean it off." "What do you mean?" the man asked, confused. "The handprints are from the inside…" the cleaner said slowly.
