A well-known Malaysian radio DJ had a late night show in the 90s where listeners could call in to share their ghost stories. This was a live radio show and was very popular at the time.
One night, the DJ received a call from a listener who shared his creepy experience. He was driving along a highway late one night with his parents, his wife, and their little baby. They were all asleep, and he himself was feeling very sleepy in the quietness.
Suddenly, he saw a large lorry with only one light coming from the opposite direction. The lorry flashed by his car, its slipstream rocking his vehicle. He was shaken because the lorry was driving against traffic on his side of the highway! Before he had time to collect his thoughts, the lorry appeared in front of him again.
He watched in amazement as the lorry sped past his car again. A short while later, he was shocked to see one bright light speeding past him - again.
This happened several times and before the lorry stopped appearing in front of him. Suddenly, he was blinded by a single headlight reflected in his rear view mirror. The caller said he was terrified by the mysterious lorry chasing him and began to panic. He sped up, trying to get as far away from the lorry as possible.
As he drove over the crest of a hill, he suddenly saw a single headlight heading towards him. He swerved violently to avoid it but lost control of the car, crashing through the highway barrier and into a deep gulley.
After relating the story, the caller said that he was very depressed because his parents, wife and baby were all killed in the accident. In a sad voice, the caller said that he, too, lost his life the accident. Then he hung up.
The DJ thought he had been pranked on live radio and laughed it off before carrying on with the show. However, the next day’s newspaper carried the story of an accident that happened along the highway described by the previous night’s caller.
A car had crashed into a gulley the previous night, killing an elderly couple, a husband and wife and their baby.
Shocked, the radio DJ rushed back to the office to listen to the recording of the previous night’s mystery caller but there was only silence on the tape!
