We are back as we continue our summer dive into the paranormal, mysterious & high strangeness of urban legends… In today’s episode we are getting into the Vanishing Hitchhiker, which is probably one of the most well known and culturally unique urban legends we’ll look at this summer. Tune in as we get into several creepy legends of ghostly encounters from travelers far and wide. We also cover more primitive forms of the tale along with some history that could potentially point to how this is all wrapped up in our own modern storytelling and cultural zeitgeist of a bygone or maybe not so bygone era… We also end this one on a listener story from the PFOS hotline. All of this and more in today’s episode!Have you ever picked up a hitchhiker? Or had a strange and unexplainable encounter? If so call the PFOS hotline at 619-866-6432 for a chance to be featured on an upcoming episode.
