Lucia and Edison were leaving the local movie theater late at night when Edison remembered that he needed to fill up the car. Lucia reminded him that a gas station was open all night on the Raposo-Tavares highway. 

As they turned back through the alley, a dirt road that in those days ran parallel to the Raposo Tavares highway, they instinctively looked to the right and noticed that a new road had opened up in the direction of the wall surrounding the city cemetery. To the right of this road were tall eucalyptus trees. 

The couple were suddenly confused when they saw a row of large old-model cars shining brightly as if they were brand new. To the left of these strange cars, people could be seen walking. It was dark, and they could only see their outlines in the gloom. Edison believed that some spiritual (umbanda) rites might have been performed, but Lucia informed him that such things had never happened in this region of Brazil. 

Curiously, they went back the same way, but there was nothing else to be seen. The road was deserted, and in less than five minutes all the cars were gone. Their car stopped in front of the cemetery wall. 

Facing the wall, Edison slammed on the brake, turned off the engine, and applied the handbrake, while at the same time extending his right hand along the back of Lucia's seat and leaning down to say something, just as the car began to rise from the ground for the first time. It was as if it had moved forward about 30 cm and raised its nose, while the two front wheels rose above the ground. The car fell, hitting the road hard. 

The stunned couple looked back, thinking that there was a car behind them that was trying to push them forward. Then the car lifted its front wheels a second time and, thinking that someone was playing a joke, opened the door to catch him. But the car rose for the third time as she opened the door. She immediately felt indescribably cold. She looked around, but saw nothing. She slammed the door and felt an intense cold, as if a super-frozen sponge was sucking the base of her neck to the back of her head, draining her of all energy. 

She turned to Edison and saw that his hair was standing on end. He was deathly pale and stammered with great effort as he did so, he said: "Let's go... let's go." Terrified, Lucia couldn't speak. Edison quickly backed away and started down the road that led to the center of the city. 

As they drove along the edge of the cemetery, Lucia saw someone or something in silvery white to her right. It looked like someone was dressed in white, and a "black light"was shining on it. It was fluorescent and about 1.30 meters high. He was wearing a hat or helmet and a Cape. She couldn't see a face, and she didn't remember seeing hands or feet. It was dark. 

She panicked when Edison began to yell at her that she was not looking to the side. She had the feeling that the figure wanted to cling to their car. But, oddly enough, the thing or creature seemed friendly, as if it wanted to say Hello. When the witnesses arrived home, there was a time discrepancy of about 30 minutes, and their car's electrical system was disrupted.

Hypnosis could not overcome the memory block.

Original news

Lucia and Edison were leaving a local cinema late at night when Edison remembered that he needed to fill up the car. Lucia reminded him that there was a gas station operating all night on the Raposo Tavares Highway. As they turned back through the side street, a mud road that in those days ran parallel to the Raposo Tavares Highway they instinctively looked right and noticed that a new road had been opened in the direction of the wall circling the town cemetery. To the right of this road there were some tall eucalyptus trees. The couple suddenly felt confused at seeing a row of large, older model cars, shining brightly as if they were brand new. To the left of these strange vehicles, some people could be seen walking about. It was dark and they only saw their outline in the half-light. Edison believed that perhaps there was some kind of spiritual (Umbanda) rites being held, but Lucia informed him that such things never happened in this region of Brazil. Curios they returned on the same road but nothing more was to be seen. The road was deserted, in less than five minutes all those cars had vanished. Their car had now stopped facing the cemetery wall. Facing the wall, Edison put on the brake, stopped the engine and used the hand brake at the same time stretched his right arm along the back of Lucia’s seat and leaned over, about to say something—at that precise moment the car started to lift up from the ground for the first time. It was as if it had gone forward about 30 cm and drew up its nose, with the two front wheels up from the ground. The car dropped down, hitting down hard on the road. Stunned the couple looked back thinking there was a car behind them, trying to push them forward. Then for the second time, the car lifted its front wheels and thinking that someone was playing a prank, Lucia opened the door so as to catch him. But the car lifted up for the third time just as she was opening the door. She immediately felt indescribably cold. She looked around but could not see anything. She slammed the door closed and felt an intense cold, as if a super frozen sponge had been sucking the base of her neck at the nape, depriving her of all energy. She turned towards Edison and saw his hair standing on end. He was deathly pale and with a great effort stammering as he did so, he said: “Let’ssss…go. Terrified, Lucia could not speak. Edison backed up quickly and hit the road going down towards the center of town. As they drove along the side of the cemetery Lucia saw someone or something in silvery white over the ground to her right. It looked like someone dressed in white with “black light” shining upon it. It was fluorescent, and about 1.30 meters high. It was wearing a kind of hat or helmet and a cape. She did not see a face or remember seeing any hands or feet. It was dark. She panicked as Edison started shouting to her not to look sideways. She had the feeling that the figure wanted to stick to their car. But strangely, the thing, or being seemed friendly as if wanting to say hello. When the witnesses arrived home a time discrepancy of about 30 minutes was noted, also their car’s electrical system had been ruined. Hypnosis failed to overcome the blockage of memory
