Driving a Truck Can Be a Nightmare, Literally: Cryptid Terror on the Road!
Key Takeaways
- Recurring nightmares about a specific highway route can sometimes be a harbinger of real-world danger rather than just stress-induced dreams.
- The story explores the unsettling concept of 'cryptid highway horror,' where supernatural entities target drivers on lonely roads.
- Psychic premonitions, particularly those involving family members or children, should be closely monitored when they align with repetitive, terrifying visions.
- This episode highlights the blurring lines between reality and nightmare, suggesting that some monsters may be waiting for us long before we ever encounter them.
- Michael Kelso’s narrative serves as a cautionary tale about trusting one's intuition when facing the unknown on dark, isolated journeys.
A truck driver’s terrifying nightmare begins coming true in this supernatural highway horror story about prophetic dreams, a demonic roadside creature, and a daughter who knows something is waiting for her father in the dark.
After dreaming that a towering monster tears him from his delivery truck and drags him into the woods, an ordinary car-parts driver tries to convince himself it was only a nightmare. Then he reaches the same bridge from his dream. He sees something enormous watching from the trees—and his eight-year-old daughter Angeline already knows exactly what he saw.
As Angeline’s psychic dreams become increasingly urgent, every late delivery run brings her father closer to the creature lurking beside the highway. Is the nightmare a warning that can still save him, or a vision of something that has already decided his fate?
“Driving a Truck Can Be a Nightmare, Literally” by Michael Kelso is a suspenseful scary story blending truck driver horror, road horror, shared nightmares, psychic premonitions, family terror, creature-feature suspense, and a frightening supernatural monster encounter. Fans of horror stories, highway legends, demon stories, cryptid fiction, dark-road encounters, psychological suspense, and immersive audio fiction will want to keep their doors locked for this one.
Tonight on the Weekly Spooky horror podcast, one father must decide whether his daughter’s nightmares are childish fears—or warnings from something real waiting beside the road.

35
00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:46.400
when you open your eyes, the monster vanishes, the darkness retreats,
36
00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:51.400
and mourning lets you believe it was only a dream.
37
00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:55.199
But what if the nightmare showed you the exact road
38
00:02:55.319 --> 00:02:59.439
you drive for work, the bridge, the woods, and the
39
00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:04.120
creature waiting to drag you from your truck. You might
40
00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:08.000
call it coincidence until your eight year old daughter begs
41
00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:12.879
you not to leave. She asks whether you saw him,
42
00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:17.360
and you realize she's been dreaming about the same monster,
43
00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:23.639
and every time it's waiting beside the highway just for you.
44
00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:28.199
So keep both hands on the wheel, lock the doors,
45
00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:32.520
and don't look too closely at the tree line, because
46
00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:44.400
sometimes waking up is only the beginning. Driving a truck
47
00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:52.039
can be a nightmare, literally by Michael Kelso. My shrieks
48
00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:55.800
of agony reached a pitch and volume I didn't know
49
00:03:56.000 --> 00:04:00.520
I was capable of. As the enormous, demonic looking creature
50
00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:06.240
sank its huge, razor sharp teeth into my shoulder, tearing
51
00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:11.120
through muscle and sinew. I refused to release my grip
52
00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:14.800
on the truck's door handle, so the monster chewed through
53
00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:19.120
my shoulder and ripped my body away from it as
54
00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:23.160
it dragged me into the woods, kicking and screaming, blood
55
00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:27.600
pouring from my shoulder, I looked back at my arm,
56
00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:33.600
still hanging on to the door in desperation. Once it
57
00:04:33.639 --> 00:04:36.240
had dragged me so far into the woods that I
58
00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:40.000
could no longer see the lights of the truck, it
59
00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:44.240
released me. I tried to run, but the loss of
60
00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:48.800
blood weakened me. I got halfway to my feet before
61
00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:53.920
stumbling back to the ground. I tried again and again,
62
00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:59.279
but gravity kept yanking me back down. I didn't have
63
00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:02.680
the energy to make a run for it. Every time
64
00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:07.000
I tried more blood poured out of my mangled shoulder.
65
00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:12.920
It watched me struggle with that nightmare, mouth formed into
66
00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:18.560
a smile. It was enjoying this. It was toying with me.
67
00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:23.480
My breaths came in ragged gasps as my body grew
68
00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:28.720
dangerously low on blood. I knew I was barely clinging
69
00:05:28.759 --> 00:05:33.680
to life. My will to live was gone. I had
70
00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:37.879
no fight left in me. Desperation had set in, but
71
00:05:38.839 --> 00:05:42.000
there was nothing left to act on. All I could
72
00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:47.439
do was lay there and wait for the inevitable. I
73
00:05:47.519 --> 00:05:51.279
guess I was no longer amusing if I wasn't trying
74
00:05:51.319 --> 00:05:54.920
to escape. It stepped over and picked me up by
75
00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:58.639
the neck. Pain screamed at me to do something, but
76
00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:03.839
there it wasn't anything I could do. It grasped the
77
00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:07.360
top of my head and turned its sideways, pulling my
78
00:06:07.560 --> 00:06:12.680
face into its maw of blood stained teeth. I could
79
00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:17.079
smell the horrid stench of death and decay as it
80
00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:29.959
closed its mouth on my face. I woke and sat
81
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:34.800
straight up in bed, gulping massive breaths of air. I
82
00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:39.399
felt like I was drowning in total darkness. My head
83
00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:44.240
swiveled around so quickly that I nearly gave myself whiplash
84
00:06:44.759 --> 00:06:50.399
as I searched for anything to show where I was. Eventually,
85
00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:56.040
my hand landed on my bedstand. I felt the hard
86
00:06:56.120 --> 00:07:01.160
wood and recognized it. My hand crept silently along until
87
00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:04.879
it discovered my cell phone. I turned the light on
88
00:07:05.399 --> 00:07:10.079
and shone it around. My wife lay in bed beside me,
89
00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:15.240
sleeping peacefully. If I wanted to keep it that way,
90
00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:19.360
I would be quiet and stop shining the light on her.
91
00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:24.560
My sweaty palms and brow were the only remaining evidence
92
00:07:24.639 --> 00:07:28.920
of the nightmare I had woken from. My side of
93
00:07:28.959 --> 00:07:32.720
the bed was wet, but I told myself that it
94
00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:37.920
was sweat. My breathing slowly returned to normal as my
95
00:07:38.079 --> 00:07:43.120
mind told me it was a dream. I reached up
96
00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:46.720
and touched my face to make sure it was still there.
97
00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:51.519
Once that was confirmed, I reached for my shoulder and
98
00:07:51.639 --> 00:07:54.720
found it too, still attached to the rest of me.
99
00:07:55.800 --> 00:07:59.279
I got up and went to the bathroom, then splashed
100
00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:02.759
some cold water on my face before checking the time.
101
00:08:03.879 --> 00:08:07.199
It was four thirty in the morning, only an hour
102
00:08:07.399 --> 00:08:12.519
before my normal time to get up. I debated staying awake,
103
00:08:12.639 --> 00:08:16.560
but in the end decided a little more sleep would
104
00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:20.720
do me good. After all, it was just a dream.
105
00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:27.360
My morning was like every other weekday morning. I got up, showered,
106
00:08:27.399 --> 00:08:31.519
and had some breakfast. Just as I was getting ready
107
00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:34.840
to head out the door, my eight year old daughter
108
00:08:34.919 --> 00:08:39.960
Angeline came downstairs to get ready for school. She insisted
109
00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:42.960
I give her a hug every morning before I left
110
00:08:42.960 --> 00:08:47.360
for work, and then promised to be safe. The morning
111
00:08:47.480 --> 00:08:51.360
run was nothing out of the ordinary, the same headaches
112
00:08:51.440 --> 00:08:56.240
as every day delivering car parts to garages. I joked
113
00:08:56.279 --> 00:09:03.399
with one of the managers that my week went Monday, Monday, Monday, Monday, Friday.
114
00:09:04.519 --> 00:09:07.799
He laughed and agreed that sometimes it felt like his
115
00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:12.279
weeks went the same way. In the afternoon, it was
116
00:09:12.440 --> 00:09:15.799
my turn to do the late run. Twice a week.
117
00:09:15.879 --> 00:09:18.600
I had to drive the big box truck down to
118
00:09:18.679 --> 00:09:22.480
the main warehouse in the afternoon to pick up parts
119
00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:27.399
for the following morning's run. I didn't really like the
120
00:09:27.480 --> 00:09:31.759
late run, especially in winter when it started getting dark early.
121
00:09:32.799 --> 00:09:37.480
I usually got home around eight, which was Angeline's bedtime.
122
00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:40.799
I would get home just in time to tuck her
123
00:09:40.879 --> 00:09:44.480
in and kiss her good night. If I ran late,
124
00:09:44.879 --> 00:09:47.320
she wouldn't go to sleep until I tucked her in.
125
00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:53.720
That afternoon wasn't much different than any other with one exception.
126
00:09:55.000 --> 00:09:59.559
I couldn't get the nagging feeling of deja vu out
127
00:09:59.600 --> 00:10:03.519
of my head. I knew I had done this run
128
00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:10.960
countless times before, but this time seemed different, like there
129
00:10:11.080 --> 00:10:16.279
was a growing expectation that something was about to happen.
130
00:10:17.399 --> 00:10:22.039
Traffic didn't seem any worse than any other time, although
131
00:10:22.679 --> 00:10:26.279
I knew that there was always a danger when dealing
132
00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:32.720
with drivers. Accidents happened fast and you couldn't always avoid them.
133
00:10:33.639 --> 00:10:36.399
I kept a wary eye on the other cars and
134
00:10:36.519 --> 00:10:42.279
trucks around me, but still there was a growing dread
135
00:10:42.399 --> 00:10:47.200
in my mind. It increased with every mile I drove.
136
00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:54.720
Finally it hit me my nightmare. It had been on
137
00:10:55.039 --> 00:10:58.320
this road, and I was coming up on the area
138
00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:03.960
where it it happened. I tried to laugh it off
139
00:11:04.000 --> 00:11:08.240
and tell my brain that it was just a coincidence
140
00:11:08.919 --> 00:11:12.440
that I traveled this road twice a week for years.
141
00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:15.879
Of course, I was going to dream about it from
142
00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:20.279
time to time, Trying to laugh it off or deny
143
00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:24.840
it was having the opposite effect. I was only a
144
00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:29.039
few miles away from the spot, and my heart was racing.
145
00:11:29.919 --> 00:11:33.360
I tried turning on the radio to calm my nerves,
146
00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:40.679
but the song playing was Metallica's All Nightmare Long. That
147
00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:45.519
was not helping. I was only a mile away now.
148
00:11:46.200 --> 00:11:50.159
I remember seeing a specific bridge in my nightmare, and
149
00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:55.000
I knew it was coming up. My fingers white knuckled
150
00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:59.759
the steering wheel. My eyes darted back and forth, looking
151
00:11:59.840 --> 00:12:04.679
for or anything out of the ordinary. Out of the ordinary,
152
00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:09.679
I chuckled like a demonic beast, chewing my arm off
153
00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:14.039
and dragging me into the woods to devour me. I
154
00:12:14.120 --> 00:12:17.759
had just reached the bridge when my phone rang, nearly
155
00:12:17.879 --> 00:12:21.639
giving me a heart attack. Once the ice had melted
156
00:12:21.679 --> 00:12:24.879
out of my veins, I turned it on speaker so
157
00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:32.679
I wouldn't get pulled over. Hello, I said, daddy. Angeline replied,
158
00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:38.120
what's up, sweetie? Where are you? I'm on my way
159
00:12:38.159 --> 00:12:43.000
down to the warehouse. When will you be home? Probably
160
00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:47.639
around eight? Can't you come home now? She said with
161
00:12:47.840 --> 00:12:54.480
quiet desperation. Why is something wrong? I said, suddenly feeling
162
00:12:55.000 --> 00:13:00.960
very nervous. She paused for a long moment. Are you
163
00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:07.360
and mommy okay? I said, Oh no, we're fine. Then
164
00:13:07.559 --> 00:13:16.279
what's the problem. Oh? Nothing, I just wanted you home. Okay. Well,
165
00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:21.679
I'll be home around eight. Love you, Love you too, Daddy.
166
00:13:22.679 --> 00:13:26.480
She hung up the phone as I smiled and shook
167
00:13:26.519 --> 00:13:35.120
my head. I'd love to be home earlier, I thought.
168
00:13:36.639 --> 00:13:41.240
The road stretched out in front of me suddenly felt different.
169
00:13:42.279 --> 00:13:46.639
I couldn't put my finger on it, but something had changed.
170
00:13:47.480 --> 00:13:49.879
I drove the rest of the way to the warehouse,
171
00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:54.240
trying to figure out what it wasn't until I had
172
00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:59.240
loaded and was halfway home that I realized I had
173
00:13:59.279 --> 00:14:03.559
missed seeing the spot where my nightmare happened because I
174
00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:09.799
was talking to Angeline. I chuckled to myself, thinking how
175
00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:14.759
worked up I had gotten over a silly dream. I
176
00:14:14.799 --> 00:14:18.159
pulled into the driveway a few minutes before eight and
177
00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:23.000
went straight to Angeline's room to tuck her in. Daddy,
178
00:14:23.639 --> 00:14:28.679
she said, jumping up into my arms. WHOA, someone's glad
179
00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:32.679
to see me, I said, hugging her then laying her
180
00:14:32.759 --> 00:14:38.799
back in bed. You made it, she said, don't I always?
181
00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:46.639
Did you see him? See? Who? Oh? No one? I
182
00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:51.720
love you, Daddy, I love you too. Sweetheart, good night.
183
00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:56.840
I closed her door, feeling more than a little confused.
184
00:14:57.759 --> 00:15:00.559
I walked into the kitchen, where my nose and eyes
185
00:15:00.600 --> 00:15:04.320
were equally treated to the smell of the delicious food
186
00:15:04.480 --> 00:15:07.759
my wife was getting out of the microwave. What was
187
00:15:07.840 --> 00:15:10.720
going on with her today, I said, as I sat
188
00:15:10.759 --> 00:15:14.519
down at the table. What do you mean? She said,
189
00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:19.440
the phone call. I nodded with my fork halfway to
190
00:15:19.480 --> 00:15:23.480
my mouth. She came home from school and said she
191
00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:27.360
needed to talk to you right away. She didn't say why,
192
00:15:27.879 --> 00:15:34.279
I said between bites, Nope, just that it was important. Weird.
193
00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:42.879
She's eight, she said, smiling. She probably just missed her daddy. Yeah,
194
00:15:43.200 --> 00:15:47.600
I said, sighing. I get that, but she makes me
195
00:15:47.679 --> 00:15:51.480
feel so guilty for getting home late. I wish she
196
00:15:51.559 --> 00:15:56.159
understood that's just how life goes. Sometimes She'll get there,
197
00:15:56.840 --> 00:16:01.039
she said, reaching across the table and taking my hand.
198
00:16:02.120 --> 00:16:05.519
I smiled and enjoyed the rest of my meal as
199
00:16:05.559 --> 00:16:09.039
we talked about our days and then went to bed.
200
00:16:11.360 --> 00:16:15.360
The next morning, Angeline acted as if nothing had happened.
201
00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:19.559
She got up, got ready for school, kissed us goodbye,
202
00:16:19.639 --> 00:16:25.360
and got on the bus. My day was frustrating, tedious
203
00:16:25.440 --> 00:16:30.480
and long, just like usual, I didn't have the late
204
00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:34.600
run and didn't get any phone calls from home. The
205
00:16:34.679 --> 00:16:39.919
day after that, however, was another matter. She got out
206
00:16:39.960 --> 00:16:45.440
of bed and immediately asked if I had the late run. Yes, sweetie,
207
00:16:46.399 --> 00:16:53.559
do you have to do it? Yes, sweetie, can't someone else? No, sweetie,
208
00:16:54.919 --> 00:17:00.799
please please be safe. I will sweety. She was very
209
00:17:00.919 --> 00:17:05.640
distracted at breakfast and nearly missed the bus. She kept
210
00:17:06.279 --> 00:17:10.079
staring at me. I wanted to ask her what was wrong,
211
00:17:10.160 --> 00:17:15.240
but I was half afraid of the answer. My morning
212
00:17:15.319 --> 00:17:17.759
run that day was easy, and I was able to
213
00:17:17.759 --> 00:17:21.759
get started on the afternoon run a little early. I'd
214
00:17:21.799 --> 00:17:27.039
loved to surprise the family by getting home early, I thought, smiling.
215
00:17:28.920 --> 00:17:35.039
My smile evaporated. As I approached the bridge. All the
216
00:17:35.279 --> 00:17:40.519
terror of the nightmare came rushing back, along with Angeline's
217
00:17:40.599 --> 00:17:46.359
cryptic comment about seeing someone. I slowed down a little,
218
00:17:46.880 --> 00:17:51.759
and once again my eyes were on swivels. I searched
219
00:17:51.799 --> 00:17:54.359
the trees along the side of the road as they
220
00:17:54.799 --> 00:17:58.799
rapidly passed by. I was about to shake off my
221
00:17:58.960 --> 00:18:03.319
feelings as stupid when my eyes locked on something that
222
00:18:04.720 --> 00:18:11.000
made my blood freeze. In the trees, I saw a
223
00:18:11.039 --> 00:18:15.440
set of eyes. My mind tried to write it off
224
00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:20.319
as a deer, but there were a few problems with that.
225
00:18:21.440 --> 00:18:24.960
The deer would have had to be seven feet tall
226
00:18:26.079 --> 00:18:29.480
or standing on its hind legs on the second rung
227
00:18:29.599 --> 00:18:33.640
of a ladder. Since I didn't believe either of those
228
00:18:33.680 --> 00:18:38.400
things was probable, I had to go with the last option.
229
00:18:39.680 --> 00:18:44.599
There was a giant creature standing in the trees, staring
230
00:18:44.640 --> 00:18:49.039
at me. All of this process through my mind in
231
00:18:49.079 --> 00:18:53.319
a flash. As I drove past. I saw it step
232
00:18:53.359 --> 00:18:56.559
out of the trees just before I passed it and
233
00:18:56.680 --> 00:18:59.839
bend down as if ready to spring out in front
234
00:18:59.880 --> 00:19:04.759
of me, But there was a car right behind, so
235
00:19:04.880 --> 00:19:10.400
it dove back into the cover of the trees. I
236
00:19:10.480 --> 00:19:16.599
shook myself mentally, as though waking from a dream. That
237
00:19:16.599 --> 00:19:22.640
that couldn't have been real, I told myself, wishing I
238
00:19:22.759 --> 00:19:28.079
believed it. The rest of my trip down, including loading
239
00:19:28.079 --> 00:19:33.680
the truck, seemed like some surreal vision. It was like
240
00:19:33.799 --> 00:19:39.640
I was floating through a daydream. The trip back made
241
00:19:39.640 --> 00:19:45.000
me nervous as I approached the bridge, but I realized
242
00:19:45.079 --> 00:19:48.480
I was on the other side of a divided highway.
1
00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:04.280
2
00:00:04.320 --> 00:00:07.759
3
00:00:07.919 --> 00:00:12.080
4
00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:16.039
5
00:00:16.199 --> 00:00:21.359
6
00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:30.359

00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:10.319

00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:15.760

00:01:15.799 --> 00:01:19.799
14
00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:23.400
15
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:27.519
16
00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:30.760
17
00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:33.400
18
00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:37.480
19
00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:40.879
20
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:45.519

00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:49.879
