My sister woke up this morning to find a young woman, who she did not know, sleeping on her couch.

She lives alone in the country, and usually makes sure all the doors on the house are locked. She happened to forget to check the front door last night before she went to bed.

Terrified by her discovery, my sister called her boyfriend, who then drove out to the house. They woke up the woman, who had blood on her face and was disoriented. She said she had wrecked her car last night and couldn't remember much else. This was confirmed when they found her car in the ditch just down the road.

Being kind mid westerners, they gave the woman a ride into town to her home. Law enforcement arrived later to record the incident.

Not only is it disturbing that a stranger was sleeping in her house, but her loyal German Shepherd never made a noise to alert her of danger. And just because I like a good, creepy story, I will note that a similar incident happened eight years ago right by her house. A teenage girl drove her car off the road into a creek and died on the spot. I am not claiming that the two incidents are connected, or supernatural in any way. But they do make you think about who might be lurking around your house, especially if you live in the country!
