    We have all learned in school that hitchhiking a ride is not good or giving a ride to complete strangers is a red-carpet invitation to disaster. Still, the driver in this urban legend has the audacity to give a lift to a lonely woman, with a deadpan face, on a deserted road.

    An innocent looking damsel in distress hitchhikes a ride on a dark night. To add more to the suspense, she may hitchhike a ride right near a cemetery. Yet the driver is oblivious to the obvious cues. She stops a car that has no one except the driver and then boards the car, always taking the backseat.

    She gives the driver her address and starts making small talk with the driver. Everything about her bears an air of mystery. Once the car screeches in front of the driveway of her home, the driver turns back only to find that the woman has vanished in thin air.

    He goes and knocks on the door and asks for the woman. An elderly lady says that she is her mother but her daughter died about 6 years ago, killed by a hitchhiker. So, think twice before giving a strange stranger a lift!
