A student nurse, @pretty_pricy, has shared a scary experience she and her friend had after they accepted a lift from a stranger.

The lady, who said she and her friend love taking lifts from strangers, persuaded this particular car owner into giving them a lift and soon regretted it as the car moved.

What ladies found in car

The student nurse said they noticed a cutlass covered with nylon in the back seat and got really scared.

She said their souls left their bodies, and they couldn't shout, adding that the environment they were in didn't help matters.

She explained that the area was filled with bushes and trees, with no sign of any human in sight. The lady said they just sat in their seats smiling awkwardly in order not to mask their fear.

The student nurse posted a video on TikTok of the cutlass and also captured herself and her friend in the car. She wrote:

"The man was like Oh, I can't pick you guys ,but we too were doing passive-aggressive begging. Small small pressure, and boom, we're in the car.

"It wasn't until the car started moving that we saw it... a cutlass. Covered. Sitting quietly by the seat like it was also going somewhere important.

"At that moment, our souls left our bodies. But we couldn't even shout,we were too scared. The area was full bush, trees everywhere, no signs of life. If we shouted and he flipped? Hmm, only God knew.

"So we just sat there, smiling awkwardly like kids who entered the wrong classroom, but couldn't leave.

"Today was the day we all decided that walking is not that bad after all. Because at least with walking, cutlass no dey involved."
