"During the last year of elementary school, I saw the strangest thing that has ever happened to me. We were returning from a school trip on a bus and had temporarily stopped for a break, so that those in need could go to the bathroom or buy something to eat. It was quite late, it must have been 9 pm and there were still several hours to go back to the city. The gas station was relatively isolated, but it wasn't deserted because it was on the side of a busy highway. But we were in the middle of the Apennine mountains in Romagna and there were not a lot of people from what I remember. The fact is that I was the last to have to go to the bathroom because I stopped first to get something to eat.
Going to the bathroom, which is almost always in the back at Italian gas stations, I saw a girl in a suit that looked like an alla black diver suit. It made me strange but at first I didn't care. Then all of a sudden I saw her easely lift a car parked in the back with one hand and I saw her take an object quickly from underneath. I remember well that I was very frightened when, having seen that I had seen her, she suddenly turned around and glared at me. She had long black hair and, although it was the thing that scared me the most, I don't remember the color of her eyes at all. I don't think they were weird or particularly scary, it was the way she looked at me that terrified me the most. I've never been so scared in my life. I literally felt my hair stand up in fear, like in cartoons.
I immediately ran off to the bus crying and went straight to my teacher. I told her everything but clearly she didn't believe me. But seeing how visibly frightened I was, she went with another teacher to see what was there in the back, perhaps thinking that someone had made a joke on me.
Apart from my teacher and my best friend, nobody knows this story. I never even told my girlfriend because I know very well that like everyone else she would never believe me. Even I wouldn't believe it if someone told me about it."
