Welcome back to The Freaky Deaky! We've got a treat for you this week, as we take a look into tales, both wholesome and horrifying, from the open road! That's right, we're diving into the ever so mysterious world of Phantom Hitchhikers (Phantom Travelers).
The vanishing or phantom hitchhiker is an urban legend in which people traveling by vehicle, meet with or are accompanied by a hitchhiker who subsequently vanishes without explanation, often from a moving vehicle.
Public knowledge of the story expanded greatly with the 1981 publication of a non-fiction book, The Vanishing Hitchhiker. In this book, the author suggests that the story can be traced as far back as the 1870s and has "recognizable parallels in Korea, Tsarist Russia, among Chinese-Americans, Mormons, and Ozark mountaineers." Similar stories have been reported for centuries across the world. Have you ever had an experience with a phantom hitchhiker? You know what to do! Submit your story via the email below!
