Drivers pick up hitchhikers who mysteriously vanish from the car during the drive, sometimes leaving behind a jacket or belongings.
The vanishing hitchhiker is a international folklore narrative documented across cultures and centuries. While compelling as a story, no verified cases exist. Folklorists classify it as a modern legend serving social and cultural functions rather than a documented phenomenon.
