One pitch black night I was driving home and was ready for my bed My usual route was closed for repairs so I took the minor road instead I was just approaching the old derelict mill that was over to my right When out of nowhere a lady appeared dressed from head to toe in white. I tried to swerve but hit her head on and it gave me one helluva fright Thought what was she doing alone out here in the middle of the night I quickly jumped out of my car and dialed, nine one one on my phone And thinking that I might have killed someone, chilled me to the bone. But there was no sign of her and I feared she was underneath I caught sight of my face in the cars mirror ; I'd gone white as a sheet I quickly got down on the ground and used my phones torchlight And I started praying to God up high that the poor lady was alright. But she wasn't underneath the car and thought was I going insane The wind was howling loudly now and brought with it heavy rain I was all on edge, then got in my car and had the life scared out of me When a loud voice said " operator here, what's your emergency"?
