It’s not standard High Strangeness post procedure, but for this one I’m front loading the video.
Watch it to the end. Trust me.
What you just saw was dash cam footage of a high-speed chase recorded by the Garden City PD.
Officer Wayne Daniels submitted the tape to Fact or Faked, an old Sci-Fi Channel Mythbusters clone from the 2010s.
The original video dates from much earlier.
All the way back to April 3, 1997 to be exact.
There’s that year again …
Anyway, the show had stunt drivers try to recreate the original video’s finale in a number of ways.
Most ended poorly:
They claimed that the final attempt, wherein they removed all but four brackets from the top of the fence, reproduced the effect seen on the tape.
The problem is, here’s how the fence looked 1 second after the car went through:
It’s not that the chain links and posts are intact. The TV crew duplicated those effects, as well.
It’s that the fence is perfectly still with no vibrations.
Go back up and re-watch the video. The car goes through at time stamp 23:27:57 in the original video.
That fence is motionless.
Now go outside and throw a football at a chain link fence.
It’s going to shake for a least a couple of seconds.
Imagine two tons of steel plowing through the same barrier at high speed, and you can see the complication in the TV show’s theory.
Is there a mundane explanation for the Ghost Car tape?
Probably.
But cases of teleportation – some including vehicles – have been documented.
A well-known and controversial case of human teleportation supposedly took place in 1968, when a Dr. Geraldo Vidal and his wife, Raffo de Vidal, allegedly teleported a large distance along with their entire car.
In May 1968, the couple was reportedly driving their vehicle along a remote, rural road in Chascomus, a province of Buenos Aires in Argentina, when they were suddenly enveloped by a thick fog. The Vidals allegedly failed to make it to their destination on time, and family members and authorities went on to search for the couple in the road they had taken but no trace of them was found. 48 hours later, Geraldo Vidal called the family to inform them that he and his wife were safe but for some reason unknown to them, they were in Mexico City, which was 6,400 km away from where they were driving in Argentina.
Geraldo Vidal would later claim that they had no recollection of what occurred in the last 48 hours that they had disappeared without a trace. All they knew was that they encountered a strange, heavy fog before everything turned black. When they came to, they found themselves parked along an unfamiliar road and felt pain in their necks. When they alighted from the car, the vehicle looked like it had been burned, as if it was badly damaged by a blowtorch. This story is not only a case of real-life teleportation but is also one of the most talked about cases within the realm of UFOlogy and Forteana.
Did the Ghost Car’s driver – who remains unidentified to this day – follow the Vidals in a shorter, but even more spectacular, feat of vehicular teleportation?
We won’t know this side of glory.
But I can tell you that another story of interdimensional vehicle travel – this one fictional – is a damn fun story.
Read my award-worthy horror adventure novel now:
Something worth noting is that the car was later found abandoned and the driver never identified.
And so the mystery thickens
Interesting. I didn’t know that the car was found.
Heh, I saw this video years ago and have wondered about it ever since. And the car was found abandoned?? That is so weird.
