Ghost stories are always a favorite of many people. Combined with the mysteries of the highways and the frightening prospect of unknown passengers in your car, it can be a recipe that can produce one of the most well-known urban legends, the story of -- The Vanishing Hitchhiker.

This week I tell the story of the vanishing hitchhiker, discuss the horror movie, The Hitcher, review the history and root of the legend and discuss some real life sightings of ghostly hitchhikers.

Written and Produced by Me Music is by Nicolas Gasparini. His music can be found at www.thedarkpiano.com

The story today is an original variation of the Vanishing Hitchhiker ghost story.
