My friend and I were coming from washington to Tennessee. We
had stopped at a truck stop to eat and were planning on driving
throu the night . A friendly waitress told us to be real careful
and not stop at the interstate rest areas for any reason.
Aparently ther had been several attacks and murders of women at
them. We were scared but had to be back in Tenn.in 2 days so we
drove on into the night. Around 4 in the morning, my friend
sleeping in the back, I began to feel really sleepy and tried to
wake her,with no luck. We were in the middle of nowhere and
suddenly there was a rest area.There was nothing to do at this
point but stop. There were no cars or trucks in sight. I was
scared but couldn't have kept my eyes open one more min. Pulled
in parked by the bathrooms, made sure my door was locked, and
proceeded to lay over the front seat. As I did I saw this huge
man with dark shiney hair and a bright red plaid jacket walk to
the front of my car , stop and look inside. The only thing I
could think was " God I hope that's an angel" and fell
asleep. The next thing I knew it was 8 a.m. and the rest area was
busy. My friend was furious that I haden't woke her to drive, I
told her about our angel, we thanked God for his protection and
got home safely. Neither of us thought more about the incedent
until 4 years later when I heard a lady talking about a serial
rapist that had been attacking single women in their homes. She
had been working 2 jobs, to make ends meet and came home one
evening so tired she went straight to her bed and collapsed with
her clothes on. She saw a huge man standing at her back door and
then realized that her back door wasn't even closed tight, much
less locked. "God I hope thats an angel"she prayed and
fell asleep. Funny thing,she said.He didn't look like the angel
pictures she'd seen. He was 8' tall,dark shiny hair and he was
wearing a bright red plaid jacket,the kind lumberjacks wear. I
almost fainted !!!!!!!!!!!!
