Description: Annette Dickeys transcribed variant of the Vanishing Hitchhiker urban legend as collected by Terri Dickey. In this account, a group of people see a hitchhiker and decide to pick him up. They ask him where he would like to go, but he did not reply. They realized the man and disappeared from the back seat, leaving behind nothing but some powder where he was sitting.
