A Ghostly Encounter

One night about 25 years ago I was sat in my car at Cothelstone Dx-ing on my CB radio in the wee hours when my two dogs started to growl every hair on their bodies on end a most putrid smell entered my car I heard the sound of hoofs churning knowing it must be the headless horseman I kept my eyes down as 't is said death comes to those who look Thor in the eyes. I was unwilling to drive away as earlier I had erected an antenna outside of the car fixed to a tree the smell was almost over powering and I could feel its gaze upon me it felt as if Thor was willing me to look my dogs were whimpering then howling no way was I raising my eyes oh no!! 'T was but an hour or so till dawn slowly the smell faded and my dogs calmed down As soon as it was light enough I let them out and got the antenna down vowing never again to spend a night here thoroughly spooked by this experience I looked around and saw churned ground with clear hoof prints as the horse had milled around my car, calling back my dogs who gladly jumped in, we drove off I have returned since but only in daylight DX-ing long distance radio contacts this is a true story there are many tales of Thor the headless horseman who rides the hills from East Quantockhead through Shervage Wood past Will's Neck through Cothelstone to the Quantock edge and back all agree if you look into his eyes within a few weeks you will be pushing up the daisy's. All I can say is I have seldom been so terrified
