**The Legend of the Black Volga**

In a dark and eerie tale that originated in the 1960s, the legend of the Black Volga has been passed down through generations as a cautionary story in the former USSR. The Volga, an executive Soviet sedan, was said to be spotted circling areas where people had gone missing.

The tales speak of witnesses claiming that the driver of the Volga would stop to ask innocent town folk the time before snatching them into the car. One can only imagine the terror that gripped those who crossed paths with this menacing vehicle.

This chilling legend has been a staple in Eastern European folklore, and its mere mention sends shivers down the spine. It is a testament to the power of storytelling and the enduring legacy of fear that this story has inspired.

(laughs)Luckily, in recent decades,the Volga has stoppedsnatching innocent humansfrom Soviet streets.And nowadays, it servesas a precautionary taleto young children tonot wander around aloneat night or ever, kindof like the boogeyman,but a car.A boogie car if you will.- TheGhostly Hitchhiker of Rehoboth.- In case your mommy anddaddy didn't tell you,picking up hitchhikers is hella dangerous.All right, you neverknow if you're gonna getan annoyingly chatty drifter,a murderous fugitive,or even a ghost.One place you should definitelyavoid picking people upfor sake of your mortal soulis in the small town ofRehoboth Massachusetts,along a stretch of route 44.Rehoboth is one of America's oldest townsand old towns have ghosts.It has 53 historical graveyardsfor hangry ghosts to hang out in.And it's right on the edgeof the Bridgewater Triangle,which is known for all sortsof paranormal activity.Kind of like the Bermuda Triangle.Personally, I like to avoidall triangle shaped areas,just in case they're oneof those spooky type ones.Flat iron building, no thank you.Now, legend has it thatthe ghostly hitchhikerof Rehoboth was killedin a horrible accidentand is now waiting for aride from a good Samaritanout of his ghostly existence.Travelers who have reportedpicking up this ghost hitchhikerall have similar spine tingling storieswith this free loading specter.After an awkward and silent pickup,the hitchhiker will suddenlyand without explanation begin to gigglelike one of those creepy clownsthat your uncle hired to blow balloonsat your seventh birthday party.As your discomfort mounts,this laughter ramps upand becomes maniacal.And I don't know aboutyou, but besides triangles,maniacal laughter islike, one of the top 10scariest things in the world.And it doesn't stop there.Just when you think thesound of his laughtermight pierce your poor little eardrumsuntil blood drips fromyour skull, he disappears.Phew, am I right?No, no, I am dead wrong!Because once you pick him up,this ghostly hitchhikerspresence never leaves you.His evil dead vibescontinue to cramp your stylefor the rest of your life.He appears in reflections in your mirrors.Your radio will go fuzzy,like all haunted electronics do.Sometimes he'll jumpright the fricking heckout in front of your car,forcing you to drive through him.He's a menace and he shouldbe avoided at all costs.So, how do you know if the dudeyou're picking up is thispersistent and terrifying ghost?Well, the descriptionsof him are all the same.He has reddish brown, scraggly hair,a big old bushy beard,he wears dirty work clothes with jeans,but his most recognizable featuresare as empty, dark,desperate, soul sucking eyes.- ThePhantom Crash of Burpham.- While I love these blasts from the past,I'm itching for a ghost storythat's a touch more modernand a little bit British.Picture this, it was a coldand foggy English night,just one day after the Surreypolice Christmas party.And just as the bobbies begin to recoverfrom their hangovers,multiple reports cameflowing in the stationfrom drivers on the A3,of a car losing controland swerving off the roadin down an embankment near Burpham.Yes, the town is called Burpham.The bobbies hop in their bobby mobilesand rush down to the scene.But when they got there,there was no evidenceof a crash to be found, nobroken glass, no debris.And just like my underwear,the underbrush was thickand undisturbed with nearlya skid mark in sight.Finally, after hours scouring,the bobbies located a maroon Vox or Astrumnoes down in a ditch.But get this, the Vox haulwas covered in plants,dirt,coby-webs, and nearby,the decomposing, mostlyskeletal remains of the driver.Now, forensics concluded thatthe crash was five months old.Dental records identified the dead guyas 21 year old Christopher Chandler,who'd been on the run frommetropolitan police for robbery.So, I ask you this,if the crash was five months old,then what in the hauntedheck did all the drivers seeon December 11th on the A3?The ghost crash shookthe town to its core,frightening Burpham residentsfrom that stretch of the A3.And today, people avoid it at all costs.So, if you're lookingto get some meat pawsor fish and chips and don'twant to sit in traffic,and don't mind ghosts, well then you sirjust found yourself a shortcut.-James Deans Death Car.- Double, double, toil and trouble.There's something spooky about this rubleor should I say rebel without a cause?I'm talking about thecurse of James Dean'sinfamous Little Bastard.That's what he nicknamedthe Pee Car 550 Spyderthat he was driving onthe quiet California roadthe day that he met his maker.Now, just about a weekbefore his untimely death,superstar actor JamesDean had just purchasedthe 550 and brought it to a mannamed George Barris to customize it.If you don't know who George Barris is,he created a little carcalled the Batmobile!So, safe to say, he's pretty goodat modifying cars.As the story goes, all right,he was on his way to test his new car outon the track at a race in Salinas.Now unfortunately for Dean,his tiny Spyder stood no chanceagainst the 1950 Ford Tudorthat he slammed into head on,mangling the little Porscheand killing the rebelwithout a cause himself.But, Dean's death is not the reasonthat this car is on the list.No, it's what happened after his death.That is legitimately spooky.George Barris bought the wrecked Spyderwith the intention ofdisplaying it to the public.Now, the first thing to go wronghappened as it was being transportedback to the shop right away.The car slipped off the trailerand broke a mechanic's leg.Now, George sold theengine and drive trainto two different race car driverswho used the parts tobuild their own cars.But of course, those cars both resultedin independent crashesthat killed one dudeand left the other gravely injured.Then, Barris sold two ofthe tires from the Spyder.And after being installedon the new owner's car,they freaking exploded!It's almost like the Little Bastardhad something to prove.And safe to say, Barris wasshaking in his little bat boots.So, he decided to hide the car away.Only to be convinced bya safety organization,to use it for a traveling showto caution drivers to slow down.But after the first exhibit,the garage that housed itburned to the ground.But what's even creepier,is the car was unscathed.These unfortunate andseemingly cursed eventscontinued injuring and killing moreand more people until finallyin 1960 during transport to Miami,the car vanished.And it hasn't been seen since.And honestly, I think it's really weirdthat a guy was partingout his dead friend's carthat he died in.- The Golden Eagle.- Now, this last story is definitelythe scariest of them all.In fact, it's the story that inspiredthe haunted Plymouth fury,that Stephen King conjuredin his 1983 novel "Christine".That's right, "Christine"is based on an actual carthat terrorize the town ofOld Orchard Beach, Mainefor decades, decades!That's 10 years, multiples of them.Stephen King's automotivemuse was a 1964 Dodge 330limited edition called theGolden Eagle, all right?And it started life as a police car.And over the course of itsstint as a cherry topperit was assigned to threedifferent officers.All of whom died as a resultof horrible murder suicides,where they slaughtered theirfamilies and then themselves.What?Three, like one, sure.Two, I guess.Three?Burn it!(beep) Burn it!After getting the hint, the police forceunloaded the Eagle where it continuedto drive around the community, all right?It fell into the handsof a woman named Wendy,but Wendy doesn't goby her government name.No, Wendy calls herself TheSea Witch of Orchard Beach.She literally tracked this car downso she could add it to hercollection of haunted cars.Is Nolan's car haunted?F---Now as you can imagine, local church goersand troublesome teens, didn't take kindlyto the idea that a killer carwas still driving around their town.So, throughout the 80's and the 90'sthe Golden Eagle was vandalized over,and over, and over.Some people were trying to vanquishthe demons that possessed it.And some were just having a little fun.But one thing all thevandals shared in common,you guessed it,they died in horrifying ways!There were decapitations via semi-truck,lightning strikes, car crashes,one kid who touched the Golden Eaglewent home, killed his entire familyand burned his house down.All in all, the Eagle is rumoredto have taken the souls of 32 people.Now eventually, the town folkof Old Orchard had enoughand they stole the GoldenEagle from the witch,dismantled it and spread its parts acrossa whole bunch of different junkyards.But sometimes, no matter how hard you try,you just can't kill the devil.And with the help of internet supporters,Wendy recovered almost allof the original Eagle partsand restored it to its murderous glory.Now, I certainly hope itstopped killing people,but there is no way to know for sure.I know Halloween's alittle weird this year,but I hope you guys all have fun.Again, let me know your favorite candydown in the comments.Follow me on Instagram andTwitter @JAMESPUMPHREY.Follow Donut @DONUTMEDIA.For more spooky car content,check out this
