This first one is from Geno he is 92 years old and was in the military as a young man. Geno and a buddy of his during their military service decided to go on a vacation for a few days. After their vacation they had no way back to Philly. So what they decided to do was hitch hike. It was pouring rain, they had their thumbs out, and saw a car lights coming in the distance. The car slowed to a stop and the two climbed in. The man driving the vehicle was very honest with them right away. He said, "I gotta tell you I met a "friendly" fellow a few miles back and we got into it. I busted him up pretty bad I think I might have killed him. So I don't know if you still want to ride with me." They took a look outside and it was still pouring down rain so they said "We'll still ride with you as long as we can." So as they were driving there was construction digging ditches in the side of the road because of the storm they hit a ditch and the car flipped. Geno got out of the car holding his hand and saw a bright light and then he just woke up in a hospital. Some very professionally dressed men came in and were asking him what he had to do with the "friendly" fellows murder. Geno kept telling them that he had just been on vacation with his buddy and were hitch hiking when they were picked up by that man. It took about four days for them to finally say okay he was only there for vacation and they let him go home. Unfortunately though Geno had to go home alone because in that car wreck Geno was the only one who survived. This also means Geno was the only one who knew what happened to the "friendly" fellow.
This next one is from my best friend, my great grandma, who is 89 years old. Now with this please remember she doesn't always tell the truth but her stories are still the best. In Springfield there are two hospitals Mercy and Cox. My great grandma says she will never ever go to Cox again. There was a time when my great grandma had to go to the emergency room at the Cox hospital. They had her laying on a gurney and she swears up and down that as they rolled her down the hallway they actually dropped her through a hole in the floor and she landed on the floor below. So if you aren't following this the hospital dropped an elderly woman through a hole in the floor. Now some of my family members will say this isn't true but my gram always reminds me that they weren't there. She also has told a story where she was in an ambulance and her heart stopped. To get her heart to start again they pounded on her chest to revive her. Again my family says this did not happen but who is to know really. Anyways they finally revived her but after that she says she had purple boobs for three whole days.
Now after reading these stories you can all have your opinions on whether or not they are true or false but I promise they came from very reliable sources. Straight from the mouth of our countries past.
