We were driving in John's Toyota Tacoma when we hit a dead end. It was just me, Paul, and Marco in the car, and we had to hurry up and get home so we can bring John's car back before he notices we took it. We just came back from a Joey Singer concert and now we're lost. I told Paul that I could use a GPS, but he insisted that we didn't need it. But look where that got us now, it's the middle of he night and we're lost on a small road somewhere in Louisiana. "Look, all we gotta do is go back to where that last turn was and instead go left", said Paul. Marco and I were both too tired to disagree or complain, we just both looked at each other and rolled our eyes. We both gave an unenthusiastic "yeah sure" and Paul quickly turned the car around to go the other direction.
"Ok turn here"-Marco

"Ok, what street is this? What does that say?... McMarven?"-Paul

McMarven... Where have I heard that before?...

"Hey wasn't that the street everybody always said was haunted as a kid?"

"Oh yeah...! I remember now, the street that never ends, is the same named McMarven, it is said it is ok to ride, but all who rode surely died.... Or something like that.. Right"-Marco

The way he said those words scared me, it gave me chills in the back of my neck and gave me a bad feeling...

"Haha, yeah I think that's the one, hey uhh how much longer until we home Paul?"

"Only another 10ish minutes, we'll be there in no time"-Paul

"You said 10 more minutes like and hour ago"-Marco

"Oh shut up, if you wanna drive I'll gladly pull over and you can take the wheel"-Paul

"You know what? I'd love that, with me driving we'll be home in 4 minutes tops"-Marco

"Alright cool, pull over, I've been needing to take a leak ever since we left the concert", deep inside I felt like something was watching us, it creeped me out more than I already was.
Paul pulled over, I got out the car and looked around for a tree, even though there were hundreds, I went to the closest one and I started to do my business. While I was doing so, I felt like there was eyes in the trees watching me, I leaned in to take a peak inside the forest to see if anything was there, but then all of a sudden
"BOOOO!!!!"
"AHHHHhhhh!! What the fuck Paul, that's not funny"
"No.. I'm sorry it's not funny.... ITS HILARIOUS!!! HAHHAHAHAHHhahahahah"-Paul and Marco both laughed in unison
They both were laughing until a deafening screech took all of us in awe. It was the most scary sound I've ever heard, it sounded as if a gigantic bear and a lion roared at the same time. We all went back into the car and started to drive immediately.
"Uhh umm lets just get home quickly I don't feel like sitting in this car anymore"- Marco
"Agree"-Paul
"Agreed"
The road seemed to go on forever, there was so much fog we couldn't even see 20 feet in front of us. It was around 1am when John called my cell phone and I knew we were busted, I picked up
"Where's my fucking car?"-John
"With me, don't worry I'm coming home now I just needed to bor-"
"Next time you use my car you tell me! You scared the living shit out of me dude!"-John
"Alright sorry"
"Where even are you right now?"-John
"On McMarven street, I'll be home in just a minute"
"What?! Did you say McMarven street? That street is in the total opposite direction from home"-John
"What? There was two ways to go, the other way was a dead end?"
"No there's not, I was just there 30 minutes ago with mom"-John
"What? What the heck? MARCO stop the car!"
He started to tap the breaks but the car didn't seem to slow down, Marco hit the breaks to the floor, and we started sliding "We"re on black ice!", said Paul. Marco swerved left and right, but then we spun out and started to flip over. The sudden adrenaline rush from the crash helped me remember exactly what happened before I blacked out. When we flipped over and over, the air bags came out, everything started to turn upside down, and I swear that in the fog I saw a figure of a man looking dead at us. Then after that, everything went black.

"Hey!!! Wake up! What happened dude! Are you alright??" Paul was in front of me with a concerned look on his face and a few blood marks and scratches on his head. He helped me up and I felt dazed and tired.
"Dude that was freaking insane, where's Marco?"
"He's taking a leak over there" Paul pointed behind me, and sure enough there was Marco faced the other way concentrating on himself.
"Bro look where the car ended up"-Paul
I went over to the car and what I saw scared me so much that I will have nightmares for the next few weeks. It was a gigantic pothole that we were at least 5 feet away from falling into, and inside the pothole was about 20+ cars all piled up on each other.

A few hours later, we called the tow truck, when the truck came, so did the police for some reason. The officer came up to us and asked "last night did you two are anything odd or out of the ordinary?"
"Um no sir, why what happened?"-Paul
The officer pointed at Marco
"Not that I can think of..."-Marco
The officer then pointed at me
"Um yeah, for some reason I kept seeing a figure of a man while we were driving and even when the car flipped, but I think that might just be my imagination"
The officers eyes widened and he called his station back on his walkie talkie, he then said "did anybody else see a figure of a man also?"-The Officer
"Umm now that I think of it, I think I might've saw a figure when we got to that dead end"-Paul
"Wait I thought that I was just hallucinating, I swear I saw a guy following us the whole time at the concert and even when the car flipped over"-Marco
The officer then went over to the huge pothole and seemed to look like he saw a ghost, his hands started to shake and then he looked into the woods like he was expecting to find something.
"What's wrong officer?"-Marco
"This is not the first time cars fell in this pothole, for some reason multiple people usually in groups of three end up in that pothole dead"-Officer
"Ok..... So why do you look so scared?"-Paul
"Because.... Because we found his pothole yesterday, and we towed every single car out of there. Every single car in there, is from last night"
