I once stopped for a hitch hiker just south of Clermont Ferrand in France.4.30am,I saw him as clear as day,so i stopped.Waited and waited,but there was no one there..i got out to look,nowt.I blamed it on being tired.But sometimes..
Many years ago, in the 1960s, my uncle used to drive the double-decker buses from Dover to Folkestone. One night, he was driving the last bus of the day to Folkestone and stopped to pick up a female at the bus stop. He drove off, and a few minutes later, he heard the frantic ding ding ding of the bus bell cord, which meant that someone wanted to get off the bus, he wasnt at a bus stop but he knew that it must be the conductor that was ringing so stopped the bus, the conductor then appeared white faced at his cab, my uncle got out and asked what was wrong, the conductor shaken and terrified looking said that he had gone upstairs to collect the females fare but she had gone, he looked under the seats but she had gone. This is totally true.
