The Encounter

Carly had her encounter while driving with a friend, Sam, on the New South Wales coast on April 19, 2015. They stopped in a small town and noticed a bright light following their car. The light stayed close behind them but disappeared whenever another car approached. This happened multiple times as they drove. They felt increasingly scared and confused about the light's presence. Eventually, the light vanished as they entered a populated area. After the encounter, Carly felt terrified of driving at night and shared her experience on a radio show, where she learned that others had similar encounters. This experience changed her perspective on nighttime driving.
