A strange force drew me to the graveyard...I stood in the dark...I saw the shadows wave...And then I looked and saw my sweater...Lying there upon her grave...Strange things happen in this world. So closes the song, "Strange Things Happen" by Dickey Lee, recorded in 1965 for the album Laurie and the Girl from Peyton Place. This popular ghost ballad has become a part of the folklore tradition of the Vanishing Hitchhiker, the tale of a young woman at the side of the road forever trying to catch a ride home. In most versions, the demure and quiet passenger disappears before arriving at her destination.
