These happened when I was a kid:
-We were stuck in a severe traffic jam. A taxi driver told my dad and a few other drivers to follow him to an alternate route. (This was before people had GPS in their cars). We were following the taxi on a narrow road in a forest (with some homes scattered here and there) when we saw a graveyard next to us. For some reason, the taxi stopped and the taxi driver began to have a long conversation with a pedestrian. At first, I thought he was asking for directions, but their body languages seemed to indicate that they knew each other. Now serial killings rarely happen in this country, but that was the same year when an infamous group of serial killers were caught and their macabre crimes were revealed. My mom was scared. I think my dad was worried, but he didn't say anything. The other drivers decided to move on on their own. Finally, the taxi driver went back into his taxi and drove on. We followed him. It turned out that a town wasn't far from where we stopped. We went through the town with no traffic jam.
-We were in a heavily forested suburban area of New Jersey at night. My dad was driving. I noticed that about every 15 minutes, I saw some teenagers playing in an outdoor basketball court. When I saw them the fourth time, I began to think of the possibility that we were going around in circles. I told my dad. When we saw the teenagers again, my dad went and asked them for directions.
