Ever had a flight that took a turn for the bizarre? Most of us have faced our share of in-flight inconveniences, from turbulence to crying infants or the dreaded selection of films. However, it’s not every day that your journey gets a horror movie twist.
Meet Lucy Harper, who recently found herself on a redeye flight—yes, the classic setting for unexpected surprises. She was settling in for a peaceful trip when she discovered, to her horror, that the empty seat beside her was now occupied. And who was the new passenger? A disturbingly lifelike doll named Gertrude, traveling with a man who had evidently purchased a ticket for her.
Now, we might speculate on the reasons behind this peculiar choice. Perhaps it was a joke for his daughter, or maybe a quirky recommendation from a therapist aimed at confronting some deep-seated fears. Or, just maybe, Gertrude was a reincarnation of a long-lost spirit intent on wreaking havoc. Who knows? Lucy wisely opted not to inquire, likely fearing that Gertrude would respond.
And here comes Gertrude!
Lucy, with her quick wit, took to Twitter, sharing the absurdity of her situation. If I were in her shoes, I’d probably be hiding in the lavatory, counting down the seconds until landing. Fortunately for Lucy, she made it off that flight unscathed. But then, after a two-hour layover, she boarded her next flight and…guess who was sitting across the aisle? That’s right—Gertrude was back for round two!
I think next time, Lucy might consider driving. I know I would!
