So I just stumbled on this thread, and it has given me chills. Probably a long shot to hear from jca91180, but curious when and what kind of car it was.
In 2007, in my early 20's, I was invited on a business trip to a military conference in Williamsburg. On a slow day, my boss encouraged me to take the rental car to sitesee. I was on my way to check out Jamestown, and I missed the left hand turn onto Colonial Parkway and ended up in a large parking lot to turn around. Had I not made this mistake, I fear this may be a different story. I happened to glance in my rearview mirror, and a beat up red sports car, like a Toyota Celica was close behind with 2 passengers. Didn't think much of it, until I got to the Jamestown entrance, and saw there was a sign for a park entrance fee. I had no cash, so I pulled a U-turn... the red car also U-turned, and this is when I began to panic and realized they were following me. I floored the gas pedal and was flying down Colonial Parkway but could not lose the car. To make matters worse, there was NO ONE on the road, my cell phone (which was pretty clunky back then) had no service, and my gas was running low. Finally I reached a scenic outlook parking area with a couple cars. I pulled in and proceeded to the other side to exit, the red car followed but parked. A lady opened the red car's passenger door and walked to the water with a water bottle, pretending she had a purpose. A man in the driver's seat made eye contact with me and glared while I pulled away... they were both Hispanic, on the thinner side, the woman had a long, thick ponytail. They seemed younger far away, but the man appeared older the closer I got.
As I drove back into town, I found a city building and told them what happened. I was so scared and shaking, but they told me there really wasn't anything they could do since nothing happened. I was pretty upset, and needless to say I will never return to the area because it haunts me to this day.
It's a long shot to say this is connected, and I try to tell myself they were JUST going to rob me. But that is terrifying and isolated road. Not to mention, it really has a heaviness from so much history.
Sending love from Texas, and I truly hope you receive answers to this mystery. I will be following closely.
