VANISHING HITCHHIKER

THERE WAS A HITCHHIKER ON A HIGHWAY SEVERAL YEARS BACK.
WHEN SOMEBODY STOPPED TO PICK HIM UP, THE HITCHHIKER
WOULD GET INTO THE CAR AND AFTER A WHILE HE WOULD
TELL THE DRIVER THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END. THE
DRIVER WOULD LOOK AROUND AT THE HITHIKER BUT HE WOULD
BE GONE. THIS HAPPENED TO A LOT OF DRIVERS.

Submitter comment: INFORMANT SAID SHE BELIEVED THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENED.
VANISHING HITCHHIKER SAYS THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END
