The Spooky Hitchhiker
Little Rock Arkansas
Urban legends, gotta love'em! Many small communities has their own version of this story.
A young girl on her prom night meets her untimely death. This specific story takes place on highway 365 just north of Little Rock.
According to the story, every year around prom night a young woman in a white dress which is reported to be torn and ragged and the girl is bloody and bruised, stops a driver on Highway 365.
Sightings have been on the part that runs just south of Little Rock and past the towns of Woodson, Redfield and even as far as Pine Bluff . Most of the time she's found on the bridge and tells them that she's been in an accident and needs a ride home Invariabley, someone gives her a ride home. only to find that when they get to the house she asked to be dropped at, she's no longer in the car. She has completely disappeared.
The person is always confused and knocks on the door of the house that she's been taken to...why I have no idea???.
The people opens the door and reports that their daughter was killed on prom night and every prom night since then, she's has caught a ride with someone different bringing her home.
One variation on this legend reports the girl left a coat in the unwitting driver's car and when he knocked on the door, coat in hand, the mother broke down into tears exclaiming, "That was my daughter's coat".
There are different stories in a different small town every time. Sometimes she gets killed at prom, sometimes homecoming and sometimes just riding home with a date.
I'm not going to get caught riding across that bridge on a dark and stormy night!
This is a story I read by Amanda Galiano, she is a web developer & student pharmacist who lives in Arkansas.
