After His Mom Stopped Her Car On A Dirt Road, A Man Popped Up Out Of Nowhere And Started Running At Her Before Hiding In A Ditch
Have your parents ever told you a story from their past that really stuck with you?
One man’s mother told him a story about something that happened to her in Montana, and it’s impacted him ever since he heard it.
His mom was born and raised on a ranch in east-central Montana. He describes her dad, his grandfather, as a “genuine cowboy,” and they basically lived out in the middle of nowhere.
“It’s wide open and flat grassland with low rolling hills,” he said.
“The only traces of human activity you will find out there are the fence posts and maybe a windmill or an old, abandoned barn or house.”
His mother’s family ranch is extremely far from the nearest small town. It takes approximately two hours to get there by car, so trips into town for groceries and supplies were sparse.
His mom was 19-years-old and still living with her parents on the ranch when he was born. On one hot summer day when he was eight-months-old, his mom had a terrifying experience while driving with him into town to get more baby supplies.
She put him in his car seat in the backseat of her car and started the two-hour drive into town. While driving down the isolated dirt road, she started digging in her purse for something and accidentally dropped it under the passenger seat.
She stopped the car to grab what she needed. When she sat back up and looked in her rearview mirror, she saw something you wouldn’t expect to see in the middle of nowhere.

Behind her car was a man she had never seen before running full speed towards her. It was absolutely terrifying, and she put the car into gear and drove away as fast as possible.
“As she’s looking back at me in the car seat, making sure that I’m okay, she sees the guy give up running after her and runs back into the ditch to hide,” he explained.
What makes her story so disturbing is that there are hardly ever any people hanging around that dirt road. The rural area near her family ranch is extremely isolated, and on that day, she didn’t see any cars or signs of life on the road leading up to the ranch that day.
The man seemed to come out of nowhere, and she had an awful feeling about his intentions. When his mom returned home safely and told her parents, they were just as stunned and had no idea who the man could’ve been.
Thankfully, they didn’t see any sign of the man again. Over the years, as his mom has replayed the incident in her mind, she gets increasingly freaked out as she thinks about what that man could’ve done to her and her baby if he had reached her car. The story scares her so much that she’s only told it to him twice and now refuses to talk about it anymore.
“My mom was a petite 19-year-old woman with her 8-month-old infant in the back seat when this happened,” he added.
“I highly doubt she could have been any help to him. We will never know why this guy was out there, and frankly, I don’t think we ever want to.”
How scary is that?
