Writing about haunted cars

There are many stories about haunted cars, what are told to travel around the road alone. And those vehicles would cause accidents and even deaths. Here I must say that many of those stories are from the Eastern Europe, and there might be something true behind those stories. The thing what causes the stories of ”haunted cars” like ”Black Volga” or ”Ghost Tschaika” were born, because those vehicles were reserved for the official use of the secret police and the leaders of the state. When we are thinking about the situation, that some traffic police would stop the personal car of Joseph Stalin,  that would mean death for that police officer.


And the same reason there is a story of ”Ghost Cadillac” in Finland. Here I must say, that this particular story doesn't involve mysterious deaths or anything like that. It tells the story of Black Cadillac, what has caused the traumatic situation for some policemen. And here I remember that the President of Finland has Black Cadillac in official use for the duty. Those haunted cars are of course interesting stories for investigators. Many times there would be stories about empty cars, what is traveling on the highway without the driver. And the explanation for those vehicles might be more natural than supernatural.


Those cars might be radio-controlled units, what are used for security duties in those convoys. The radio-controlled robot cars might also use in undercover operations for locating the chemical or radioactive fallout. Those robot cars might use also for Pathfinders in convoys. The mission for those cars is searching the mines from the road. Radio controlled cars can also use in kidnapping operations, and those cars might have nitrous oxide bottles inside, that the person, who sits in the car would be calm.


And of course, the killing version of those cars might be that the exhaust gas would lead to the cabin. This might cause the feeling, that somebody is smothering in that car's cabin. But also the bad condition of the car might happen similar situation. The result for getting too much exhaust gas would be similar, are they conducted to the cabin by accidentally or on purpose. That's why old cars mus repaired carefully because they might be in very bad condition.
