A question about hitch-hiking ghosts.
Almost everybody's heard the basic hitch-hiking ghost story—dude (usually) gives a girl a ride home, and later finds out that she was actually dead way before she got into the car—but there are some really fascinating regional variants. So here is my question for you:
How does the story go? Is she a victim, a predator, or just a confused kid trying to go home? Is seeing a hitcher like seeing the Bean Nighe—you're just doomed to die now? How does it go?
To be clear, I'm not asking you to make something up; I want to know how, in your part of the country or the world, the story goes. Or, if this is the first time you've encountered the idea (outside Disney's Haunted Mansion), I'd like to know that, too.
I've heard variations of the story, but i cant remember the exact details.
Though, i dont know who else watches the show Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction. They had one of the stories that i think was fact, about this guy who buys a used car from a junkyard or something. And the car kept turning at a specific road (it felt like it was out of control), always the same direction. Finally, he let the car take him where it wanted to, and it was the hospital. He later found out that the car got into a crash while the guy was driving his wife to the hospital, and the car just wanted to finish the journey or something like that...
