0:00:46 > 0:00:49- ..Anita, that was her name, said...

0:00:51 > 0:00:55- "I'll pray for you, - and don't be afraid to ask the way."

0:00:58 > 0:01:02- We went along these roads, - and it was dark, after 11.00pm.

0:01:03 > 0:01:07- We hadn't seen a single car - or a single person all the way.

0:01:10 > 0:01:14- We got to this village - and saw a car in the distance.

0:01:14 > 0:01:16- I reminded my husband...

0:01:16 > 0:01:20- ..that Anita had told us - not to be afraid to ask the way.

0:01:20 > 0:01:22- We went towards the car.

0:01:22 > 0:01:26- We pulled up, opened the window - and asked the driver.

0:01:26 > 0:01:28- She didn't speak a word of English.

0:01:28 > 0:01:31- She had a mop of curly hair - and was fairly young.

0:01:32 > 0:01:36- There was an older woman - sitting next to her, in a hat.

0:01:36 > 0:01:39- I can only describe it - as a Robin Hood hat...

0:01:39 > 0:01:41- ..with a feather in it.

0:01:41 > 0:01:45- She said, "Follow me."

0:01:46 > 0:01:49- There we were, - going along these small roads.

0:01:50 > 0:01:54- The silhouette of the curly hair - and the hat and feather...

0:01:55 > 0:01:58- ..showed up clearly - in the light of the streetlamps.

0:01:59 > 0:02:02- They pulled into a lay-by - and the driver opened the window...

0:02:03 > 0:02:06- ..and pointed to the way - we were supposed to go.

0:02:07 > 0:02:11- My husband said, "I'd better thank - them for going out of their way."

0:02:11 > 0:02:14- It was almost midnight by then.

0:02:14 > 0:02:19- He went to the car, thanked them, - came back and said, "That's odd."

0:02:19 > 0:02:21- "There was only one person - in the car."

0:02:23 > 0:02:26- The woman with the feather - in her hat had vanished.

0:02:26 > 0:02:28- I have no explanation.

0:02:28 > 0:02:30- The car didn't stop anywhere.
