My story begins on the Long Island Expressway in December 2001. I was driving a black sedan to a car repair shop from Delaware to John F. Kennedy Airport in New York.I had traveled dozens of times and knew the way through the alleys on my route. 

One night around 12 a.m., I was driving to JFK Airport when the car stopped at the exit of a two-lane expressway. I talked to my passenger, let's call him Steve, and decided to turn into an alley. We jump off in Sheepshead Bay and hit the road. 

We started talking about what a creepy name Sheepshead Bay has when a 1950s-style Chevy Bel Air came out of nowhere. Steve jumped up, slung his arm over the side passenger seat, and said,:

"Dude, check out this car!»

We both looked out the driver's side window as we stopped at the red light where we were about to turn right. When the car stopped, we kept looking at it. It was beautiful. Chrome finish. Red paint. A convertible. It was December. It should have been no more than 30s. There was a couple in the car, both wearing 50s clothes. He was a short guy in a brown derby hat and a brown coat. The woman had a scarf draped over her head like a hood. Big round-rimmed glasses and a leather coat.

 My passenger shouts:

"Have a nice ride!»

Both of them turned slowly in unison and looked at us. Black eyes! Huge black eyes. We both froze. When the light turned green, they were still looking at us, and they started to turn left. We sat stunned as the car drove north, toward Manhattan. A little dazed, we turn right. Not a word was said between Steve and me. 

He leans back in his seat and says:

"What the hell was that?»

I didn't get a response. We continued down the road, where I saw that the expressway was open, so we jumped on the ramp and got back on course. As we pulled onto the expressway, I saw the blue lights of emergency vehicles in the distance behind us. We were driving alone on the expressway. There is no movement ahead or behind us. From that moment on, everything seemed smooth. 

Steve was still shaken up at the time, and he climbed back up and jumped into the passenger seat. We started talking about what had just happened when I saw the approaching headlights in the rearview mirror. The first thing I thought was that I must have been speeding. 

I moved into the right lane and basically waited for the blue lights of the patrol car to come on so I could find a place to pull off, as there was no shoulder to pull off on. Suddenly the headlights shifted to the right. The car! He just jumped over the curb onto the sidewalk and started to pass us on the right. Guess who? The black-eyed couple returned. 

They passed us at over a hundred miles an hour. We looked back, and the telephone poles were flashing between us, and the driver looked at us - his eyes were bright black, and again, without taking his eyes off us, he floated back onto the expressway and out of sight. I say "floated" because the car never shook when they jumped over the curb and drove past us. He just sort of slid down onto the sidewalk. We continued on the expressway until we reached the airport. We didn't say much to each other as he got out of the car and grabbed his bag. 

Before he left, he said Sheepshead Bay was a really creepy name for the area.

Summary:  “My story begins on the Long Island Expressway back in December of 2001. I drove a black sedan for a car service from Delaware to JFK airport in New York. I made the trip dozens of times and knew my way around the side streets on my route. One night around 12 AM I was on my way to JFK when a car exited the two lane expressway at a standstill. I talked to my passenger, let’s call him Steve, and decided to take the side-streets. We jump off at Sheepshead Bay and started on our way. We began talking about how creepy the name Sheepshead Bay is when, from out of nowhere, a 1950s style Chevy Bel Air appeared. Steve jumped up and threw his arm over the side passenger seat and said, Dude, check out that car! We both looked out the driver’s side window as we came to a stop at the red light where we were about to turn right. As the car came to a stop, we continued to stare at the car. It was beautiful. Chrome trim. Red paint. Convertible. It was December. It had to be low 30s. There was a couple in the car both with 50s clothing on. It was a short guy with a brown derby hat and a brown coat. The woman had a scarf draped over her head like a hood. Big round framed glasses and a leather coat. My passenger yells out, Nice ride! Both of them turned slowly in unison and looked at us. Black eyes! Huge black eyes. We both froze. As the light turned green, while still looking at us, they began to make a left turn. We sat there stunned as the car drove north towards Manhattan. While still a bit stunned, we make the right turn. Not a word was said between me and Steve. He slumps back in his seat and says, What the hell was that? I had no answer. We continued down the road where I saw that the expressway was open so we jumped on the ramp and we were back on course. As we entered the expressway I could see the blue lights of emergency vehicles in the distance behind us. We were on the expressway alone. No other traffic ahead or behind us. It looked like smooth sailing from here on out. Steve, at that point, was still shaken and he climbed back to the front and hopped into the passenger seat. We started talking about what just happened when I could see the headlights approaching in the rear view mirror. First thing I thought was, I must have been speeding. I moved to the right lane and basically waited for the blue lights of a patrol car to come on so I could find a place to pull off since there was no shoulder to pull onto. All of a sudden the headlights moved to the right. I can’t believe it I yelled, The car! It just jumped over the curb onto the sidewalk and began to pass us on the right. Guess who? The black eyed couple was back. They passed us at over a hundred miles per hour. We looked over and with telephone poles flashing between us, the driver looked at us – his eyes were glossy black and again, without taking his eyes off of us, he floats back onto the expressway and rockets out of sight. I say float because the car never actually jolted as they jumped the curb and passed us. It just kind of slid onto the sidewalk. We continued down the expressway until we reached the airport. We didn’t say a lot to each other as he got out of the car and grabbed his bag. Before he walked away he said Sheepshead Bay is a really creepy name for a neighborhood.”
