Ghost Soldier
or
Under the Overpass at Alice

"There is
a story of a man dressed in Army fatigues hitchhiking by the overpass
(going into Alice
from Orange Grove).
The story is if you are going through the overpass at midnight and
you see the hitch hiker dressed in army fatigues, (he is trying to
get home from the war) you better stop and pick him up because if
you don't he will appear in your back seat.
I was a Senior from Orange
Grove TX. it was the summer of 1984. My boyfriend at the time
lived in Alice
TX. I was leaving Alice
TX to drive back home to Orange
Grove. I just happened to look at my watch while I was driving
under the overpass, and bam!( it was midnight ) ! Right after I drove
under the overpass there he was, the man dressed in Army fatigues!
Every hair on the back of my head stood up. Needless to say I did
not stop to pick him up. I drove my old blue Maverick 100 miles an
hour for about 30 miles to my home and all the way I was looking to
see if the army guy was in my back seat. The second I got home I called
my boyfriend and told him about the incident. He could not believe
what happened. I told my family about what had happened and my niece
and nephew wanted me to take them the next night to see the man in
army fatigues. I told them there was no way I was going back there
at midnight!
Till this day I still will not go under that overpass (at midnight).
