We have several "heddless hitchikers", one is a Confederate soldier, based on "its" uniform, that it is suggested he was at the last battle of the Civil War, held here in North Carolinna, and his position was overun by Union troops,and his hesd was removed by a Union "horse soldier" chasing Conferates as they surrendered. BTW, he was accused at a war crime trial of severaal counts of "murder' as the soldiers killed posed on threat to him or to his men. Just about every one of our 100 counties has at least 1 legend about a man, woman, or child, all "ghosts" out in all times /kinds of weather trying to get a ride that was never completed as they all vanished out of the car.
