Email of the Week: Good Samaritans and Angels
Powerful stories of Good Samaritans on the show Sunday night. Followed by lots of good emails.
Here is my favorite - from "Rick"
Hi Allen, I wanted to relate this event to you - and yes I know you wont believe it - neither does anyone else that Ive told - but its truth and it saved my life... so as long as I'm breathing I AM going to let people know. I lived in Atlanta (well Decatur actually) for almost 25 years. One evening on my return home from work I was going through the intersection at Clairmont Rd. and Buford Hwy. I heard a siren nearby and looked - a DeKalb County Police car was coming down Clairmont fast. I stopped just past the turn lane on Buford and was waiting for him to pass. What I didnt know was that he was chasing someone. The next thing I knew I had been hit and hit HARD. My car was a hulk of rubble and I couldnt get the seatbelt unlocked. The glass had shattered on both of my passenger side windows and sliced me up - evidently badly. I was conscious but stunned or in shock or dazed, but nonetheless a young boy - or teen - came to the drivers window, pried open the door, cut my seatbelt, helped me out of the car, and used some towels from my trunk to help control the bleeding. He said to sit still and kept talking to me until I either blacked out or lost consciousness. I was sitting with my back against the drivers' side and the next thing I remember was a DKPD officer asking me if I was ok and saying EMS was on the way. Then he asked me where my son was...well I was alone in the car and I dont have a son. But the officer said that two witnesses to the accident saw a young man get out of MY car and come around to the drivers' side to help. I know, I know - I was delirious, in shock, or maybe just knocked crazy; but when EMS arrived the major cuts on my head, right arm and leg had all been bandaged with the towels from my trunk and one was put behind my head to rest on. Think what you like - believe it or not - but someone was REALLY being a Good Samaritan that Day. Its been almost 19 years since that happened but it is as crystal clear in my mind now as if it had just happened. No Im not a loon or a religious nut - but something VERY wonderful happened that evening. Best wishes and jeep broadcasting.

· http://www.allenhuntshowsucks.com There are certainly weird things that happen around wrecks. I've seen it. People emerge from out of nowhere to help- out of the ground it seems- and then they disappear just as quickly. My new age friend would say they are from the spirit world. The old new age crowd like Allen would say it's the God or the Holy Spirit or some other mumbo-jumbo. Of course I don't believe in either but strange things do happen. Better to just do as St. Joseph (Campbell) taught us and just say, "It's as if ..." and let it go at that.
