The mystery of bus number 375, ambiguous doubts about the fateful ghost bus.

The story of bus number 375 has caused confusion in China for a long time. What exactly is the cause of that terrible incident?

This is a very famous story, appearing in many newspapers in China with the title "horror story on bus route number 375". After more than twenty years, the story has been transformed into many versions, some versions even change the location to Nanjing, Qingdao, but the most widely circulated version is still the following version...

The story happened late one night on November 14, 1995 on bus number 375, the night was very cold and the wind was also very strong. A bus slowly pulled up to the bus stop in front of Yuanmingyuan, that is the last bus of the day. On the bus there was a quite old driver and a young ticket checker.

The car door opened and four passengers boarded, including a young couple, an old woman and a young man. After getting in the car, the couple sat in the double row of seats behind the driver's position, the young man and the old woman sat in the single row on the right side one after another.

The car continued to drive towards the last station in Huong Son... the night became quieter, only the sound of the engine could be heard, there was almost no one on the road, and no cars passed by. The car continued to move forward, passing about two stations. By the time it reached Bac Cung station, it had been more than 300 meters when everyone suddenly heard the driver loudly scolding them.

"It's crazy, normally at this hour you wouldn't even see a ghost!”

At this time, everyone saw two dark shadows waving at a car about 100 meters away from them. The ticket checker girl spoke up:

"Stop it! It's so cold outside, and this route is already the last one."

At this time, the driver stopped the car. Who would have thought that after getting in the car, there would be 3 people, 1 person was sandwiched between the other 2 people.

After getting in the car, they didn't say anything, the person in the middle had messy hair and was always bowing their heads low, while the other two wore long robes in the style of Qing Dynasty official uniforms, both of their faces were pale. Everyone was scared and confused, only the driver was okay and continued to drive forward.

At this moment, the ticket checking girl opened her mouth and said:

"Don't be afraid! Maybe there was a historical drama crew nearby. They drank too much and didn't have time to change their clothes."

Everyone calmed down when hearing the girl say that, only the old lady often turned her head to look at the three people behind her with an extremely serious expression.

The car continued to go, passing about three or four more stations, the road was still very quiet, the wind was still strong. Getting off the bus, the driver and the ticket checker were happily chatting to each other. At this moment, the old lady suddenly stood up, rushed in front of the young man and slapped him on the face as if she was mad. So crazy, he kept scolding that the young man had secretly stolen his money when he got in the car.

The angry young man stood up and scolded the old lady:

"You're so old, why are you spitting blood like that?"

The old lady said nothing, just looked at the young man with angry eyes. She reached out with her left hand and tried to grab his collar and refused to let go.

The young man's face turned red and he was speechless.

The old lady continued to say:

"In front is the police station, let's go down there and let the police handle it!"

The horny young man replied:

"I will! I’m not afraid of anything!"

The bus stopped, the old lady pulled the young man out of the bus, watching the bus go away, the old lady breathed a sigh of relief.

The young man asked angrily:

"Where is the police station?"

the old lady replied:

"What? police station? I just saved your life!"

The young man still didn't understand what was going on and asked:

"You saved my life. What about me? Aren't I still alive?"

The old lady replied:

"You three just got in the car just now aren’t human, but ghosts!"

The young man scolded:

"Are you crazy?" After speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave.

"It's okay if you don't believe it, but let me finish first!"

The young man stopped and the old woman continued:

"As soon as they got in the car, I was there. I was suspicious, so I kept turning back to look at them. It's a coincidence, thanks to the wind blowing in from the window, I was able to see everything. The wind blew the long robes of the other two people, and I saw them. No foot!"

The young man opened his eyes wide and looked at the old woman, his face covered in sweat, unable to utter a word.

The old lady said: "What are you doing, don't you hurry up and call the police?"

The next day, the bus station reported that last night, the driver and ticket checker of the last bus went missing. The police quickly investigated and contacted the man immediately. The young man reported the crime last night and was suspected by the police of being "mentally ill". Two hours later, they found the young man and the old woman. That night, Beijing newspapers quickly reported on this incident and conducted interviews with the old woman and that young man.

On Tuesday, police discovered the bus was missing in the area near Mat Van dam, more than 100km from Huong Son. In the car there were three seriously rotten corpses, including the driver, the ticket checker and an unknown person.

This story also has many suspicious points:

- First: A bus cannot run more than 100km after running all day (because each day, a bus only has a fixed amount of gasoline to travel the prescribed number of trips) and the situation Police discovered that inside the fuel tank was not gasoline but fresh blood.

- Second: What is even more confusing is that the bodies were discovered in less than two days and were already seriously rotten, even in the summer this phenomenon could not happen, after

During the autopsy, it was also determined that there was no human involvement.

- Third: The police closely checked surveillance cameras on the routes to Mat Van but did not discover any clues.

This incident shook the entire medical and police community in Beijing at that time. To date, this creepy mysterious story still has no satisfactory explanation.
