I Like the Vanishing Hitchhiker the best. The vanishing hitchhiker (or phantom hitchhiker) is a reported phenomenon in which people traveling by vehicle meet with or are accompanied by a hitchhiker who subsequently vanishes without explanation, often from a moving vehicle. Vanishing hitchhikers have been reported for centuries and the story is found across the world, in many variants.

Public knowledge of the term expanded greatly with the 1981 publication of Jan Harold Brunvand's book The Vanishing Hitchhiker, which helped launch public awareness of urban legends. The archetypal modern vanishing hitchhiker is a figure seen in the headlights of a car traveling by night with a single occupant.

The figure adopts the stance of a hitchhiker. The motorist stops and offers the figure a lift. The journey proceeds, sometimes in total silence, and at some subsequent point the passenger appears to vanish while the vehicle is in motion.

I just saw the movie Urban Legends today and then read this question. Isn't that a coincidence. It deserves a star.

If you want try "the mysterious murder of the smith sisters" it still goes on in this time ...
Then try " Bloody Mary" it's a horrific ritual.....
If you want other stories try reading a ghost book.
