Ghostly Hitchhiker

Most of this video contains footage of three young adults, bantering in Portuguese while they are trying to find some unknown location. Towards the end, they pick up a girl who appears stranded on the side of the road. She gets in the car, looking very upset. The video footage jumps and turns static whenever she looks into the camera. That and her dramatic declaration at the end gives this video away as a fake. Still it was well done.

It reminded me of a story I’d watched on some paranormal show years ago about a girl named Susan. This guy was driving somewhere late at night when he spotted a girl standing on the side of the road, appearing lost and stranded. He picked her up and drove her to her house.

When he got out of the car to escort her, he found that she had vanished. Confused, he walked up to the front door and rang the bell. A middle-aged man answered. “Do you know anyone named Susan?” the driver asked him. “I picked this girl up on Route 102, but she disappeared when I got out of the car.”

The man averted his gaze. “Yeah. I had a daughter named Susan. She died on that highway several years ago. This has happened before. She is still trying to come home.”
