Truck Drivers' Spookiest Experiences


Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about truck drivers' creepiest experiences from their time out on the road. Turns out if you spend enough time out on the road, you're bound to encounter some especially spooky phenomenon.

Out of nowhere some voice over the radio said in a deep southern drawl, "I ain't got no panties on." I could see up and down the interstate for miles and saw not one set of headlights... - Reply 18.0k Jayson_Bonz • 11h 2 Awards That was Fred, he just wanted you to know he didn't have no panti

Apparently there was an older guy in Oklahoma City who went by the handle "Bamm Bamm" on CB radio channel 19, and had a recording of the "I ain't got no panties on" that would play every so often on his ridiculously, illegally overpowered CB radio setup. Later he had another creepy recording he'd play. He was infamous amongst truckers and amateur radio operators a

Monsoon time, raining cats and dogs just pouring so hard you could barely see going 20mph. Thunder and lightning just rocking the car. Sometimes turning into hail and pounding you. Just a nasty storm. Came around a corner, and the whole country side legit on fire. Like 20' tall flames, hundreds of yards

Tarp required so I strapped everything down,

It's like a mullet but it's patchy as fuck. Like he tried to cut his own hair and had a seizure in the process and said fuck it "good enough to party". The next thing I notice were his eyes, which I can only describe as "off". Like they were clear, I didn't think he was drunk or high or anything, but it also gav

I still keep an eye on him and he's moving away from me. As I'm putting on the last of the bungee straps I look over to check where he's at and he's turned around heading back towards me, now about 100 yards in front of my truck and coming back my way. It looks like he's talking on a cell phone, has his hand up to his face and I can barel

He was driving down the motorway and looked to his right, saw a woman with a 'miss trunchbull bun' (as he describes it) staring at him with a terrified expression from a car next to him. Before he really knows how to react the car pulls off at the next exit and my dad, although shaken, carries on. About half an hour later a different c

It was summer and my dads birthday so we drove to a casino 2 hours away to watch a boxing match with my uncle. It finishes and we drive back the same night. We're nearing a canyon with no phone reception, so we call my mom and tell her we'll be home soon (canyon usually takes about 30 mins with no traffic). It's around midn

There were no rest stops or cities but I had done the route enough to know there were these massive dirt areas every ~40 miles where you could park safely away from the road. I decided to call it a night and closed my blinds and laid down to watch something on my phone. After roughly an hour I hear someone try to open the drivers side door. I have

Then suddenly it stops. A few moments where I can only hear myself breathing and my heart pounding before I hear another truck approach and then drive by. I spent the next few hours waiting for whatever it was to come back but it never did. In the morning I couldn't find

I was in a fairly rural part of Mississippi somewhere between Clarksdale and Greenwood, important note it's all 2 lane highway the 250 mile drive home.

I didn't want to scare her so I didn't mention the guy or the hail storm. I did however pull the SD card and check the cameras. I promise you this guy never popped up on my front or rear cameras. Ive always played it off as my imagination. I will say I don't drive through the delta in the dark anymore if I don't absolutely h

She told me about some guy who parked his truck and got out. A woman got out of the passenger seat. It was kinda cold so the trucker was wearing a coat and hat. But the woman was wearing summer cloths. My cousin thought nothing of it and did her whole "hi welcome in." The trucker bought a coffee but the woman just stood th

Not necessarily "remote" but sometimes its just a conductor and engineer cruising along +/-10mph on very isolated, fairly wooded track. I've heard a few older guys mention something about a family (or a man with a suitcase, something along those lines dont really remember) walking down the track with no concerns. Const
