 G damn these near miss stories are the worst! 

Holy fuck.

Lol, I heard it but in Winnipeg. Good story though.

Yeah this is a fairly classic urban legend. I heard a spin on it when I was in middle school in the 90's ffs. 

This story isn’t scary, and there are so many other stories on here that I doubt anyone will read it...but it IS true, I wanted to share it somewhere, and folks in my normal life would probably roll their eyes, so...
