Tune in as we get into several creepy legends of ghostly encounters from travelers far and wide.

During our Halloween episode, we sat around the proverbial campfire and shared our favorite urban legends. However, Whitney didn't get a chance to share hers. Well tonight, she gets that chance!So, stop us if you've heard this one: “A lone male driver is cruising down a dark road in the middle of the night. His tired eyes perk up when he sees the figure of a young woman standing by the side of the road. He pulls over to see if she's okay. She's all alone and appears to need help. The man offers to give the young woman a ride, so she slips into the backseat and gives the man an address. He drives off, checking his rearview mirror every so often, trying to engage her in conversation; she remains silent. Finally, he arrives at the address, but the house is decrepit and dark. When he turns around to confront her, the young woman has vanished into thin air!”I know you've heard this one, or something like it before.

From Resurrection Mary to the phantom of Blue Bell Hill, the phenomenon of vanishing hitchhikers dates back hundreds of years.

The Vanishing Hitchhiker är en klassisk vandringssägen men utanför Chicago är den lite mer verklig. Där vandrar den så kallade Resurrection Mary. Ibland vill hon ha lift ibland springer hon rakt ut i vägen framför bilar men ibland glider hon bara längs vägen.  I detta avsnitt går Christoffer och Marcus igenom en del klassiska vandringssägner, vittnesmål och vem egentligen spöket Resurrection Mary är.  Huvudsaklig information är tagen från boken In The Boneyard av Troy Taylor  Stöd Oknytt på Patreon för att öka kvalitén på avsnitten och ta del av bonusmaterial: https://www.patreon.com/oknytt Följ Oknytt på sociala medier!  Insta: @oknyttpod Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Oknyttpod  Har du en berättelse du vill att vi ska ta upp?

The vanishing hitchhiker is a popular urban legend but what if it happened to you?

We hear a lot of horror stories about hitchhiking, some people get picked up by somebody with the wrong intentions, some people get into the vehicle with the wrong intention, and sometimes your passengers just disappear. With stories dating back to horses and wagons, let's talk about the creepy encounters of people who have picked someone up, or have gotten picked up themselves, and the other person just disappears.

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!   WE WANT TO HEAR YOUR STORIES! Do you have an experience with the Paranormal? Ever been abducted by Extraterrestrials, or had a 1-on-1 slap fight with Bigfoot himself? We want to hear about it! Submit your stories to be featured in our Listener Story episodes.

Ep 97 What are some Urban Legends Urban legends are short stories typically about death, sex or crime, which are told as if they are true. They spread by word of mouth, the newspaper and any other means of communication to hand. The classic modern examples of the urban legends include the vanishing hitchhiker (a minority of urban legends have a supernatural component), the crocodile in the sewer and the mafia neighbours (young couple robbed have their goods returned by a elderly Italian couple down the road). How old are urban legends? Well don't be put off by the name. Urban legends can be documented in ancient times and the only reason that they cannot be documented in prehistory is because there was no documentation to be had. In other words urban legends are part of the human condition: we are, as this site has never tired of pointing out, storytellers. But this brings us to an embarrassing question: where are the urban legends of the nineteenth-century? Where is the Vanishing Hitchhiker, the sewer crocodile and the mafia neighbours in the 1800s? After all, the nineteenth century was emphatically not prehistory, there was more documentation than in any other period prior to the 1900s and yet most lists of nineteenth-century urban legends are jejune and all too often based on misunderstandings of what urban legends really are. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/hollywoodandchinadollshow/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/hollywoodandchinadollshow/support

In this story, a young man falls hard for the daughter of his host, but she is not what she seems... Tragic and romantic, this story comes from Phlegon of Tralles' collection of folklore (On Marvels, 1) and is followed by a discussion of women's lives in the Greek and Roman worlds, and the surprising similarities between this story and the urban legend of the Vanishing Hitchhiker.   Content warning: suicide

Hello ODD Pod Listeners, and welcome back to another episode. This week, I tell the tale of the Vanishing Hitchhiker and unravel the urban folklore that surrounds this fascinating legend. It's an old story, some written accounts dating back to 1948, and it seems as if there are many incarnations of this particular urban legend. I'll get into the history of this legend, dissect the historical tellings that exist, and introduce you to some theories about how it originated. You might even meet some new hitchhikers along the way. The ODDentity Podcast is brought to you on a weekly basis by host Janine Mercer. The podcast is written, produced, and edited by Janine Mercer (unless otherwise stated), and the music is provided by Garage Band.

Stop me if you heard this one before...You pick up a hitchhiker, only for them to leave something of theirs behind. You go to drop it back off to them, only to find out they have been dead for 5 years. This is a classic ghost story trope known as The Vanishing Hitchhiker. This week, Bob is joined by Pat from Ghostly Podcast and looks at three if these tales that take place all over the world. We ask if these stories are just stories or if there is some truth behind them.

If Resurrection Mary is just an Urban Legend, merely another variation of the "Vanishing Hitchhiker" then her story is a common one, with similar descriptions found in folklore all over the world. If she is a spirit, then she's also not alone, because it seems people of every country have come forward with testimony of meeting a real "Lady in White." If these ladies are a myth, or if they're real, or some combination of both, why are they so universally elemental? Why is she so primal? Do we see her because of the folklore, or is there folklore because we've seen her? But whether spirits or an archetypal legend, what these women are eternally searching for is something lost, like a child or a future taken away too soon. What they want is to return to a happier time when all was right with their world, to return home, wherever and whatever that home may be, so they may finally rest in peace.   Visit our website for a lot more information on this episode: http://www.astonishinglegends.com/al-podcasts/2018/04/21/ep-105-resurrection-mary-part-4

You can't go home again. From Dorothy to Odysseus to the guy scream-singing "One of Us" in the car next to you during your hour long commute, people spend a lot of time and effort trying to make their way home. The idea of being stopped mid-journey, of never making it home, seems to have had a very long history in fables. One could argue, this is evidence that that fear has had an equally lengthy history in our collective consciousness. That's exactly what we argue in this episode. Examining the urban legend, 'The Vanishing Hitchhiker' we dig in to the fear of never making it home, and the many ways this has been expressed over time. From people who have made hitchhikers vanish, like Edmund Kemper, to mysterious unsolved cases like the orange sock murders, to the historical legends associated with roadside phantoms around the country; we look at the many and varied roots and the constant evolution of this modern myth Special Guest Story Teller: Erik Rivenes of the Most Notorious!
