He notices you and sticks his thumb up, asking to hitch a ride. In this society? You know better than to pick up some suspicious-looking man and whizz past him. A few moments pass and you check your mirrors to look for him. Shockingly, he's now in your back seat and lets out a bone-chilling laugh. Beware the Phantom Hitchhiker of Route 44.
