My best friend's mother (We'll call her Sarah) was a very down-to-earth, logical lady. Didn't believe in ghosts, didn't believe in the paranormal, anything like that. She's a smart woman (worked in the medical field), and she's the last person I'd expect to go around making up stories to scare kids.
My best friend was hanging out over at our house, because his mom had an appointment a couple towns over. It was just starting to hit night when Sarah called my mother, saying she would be a bit late, and that she (Sarah) had picked up a girl who was abandoned on a back road. This teenage girl supposedly lived in the next town over, and her boyfriend had kicked her out of his car after she refused to have sex with him after homecoming dance. Only problem was, it was after 9PM, and she was out in the middle of a back road, with little traffic, no telephones and would be 3-4 hours' walk from her house. So Sarah, being the lovely lady that she is, picked her up.
My mom says, "no problem" and she kept us entertained. Until the point that Sarah shows up at our house crying and half-panicking.
She drove the girl to the address she gave, but refused to get out of the car when they got there, saying "her dad would be so mad at her - her dad doesn't like her boyfriend". Well, Sarah gets out and goes to have a word with dad - she thought this poor girl had a terrible enough night as it was.
Well the man at the door was visibly agitated, but for entirely different reasons. His daughter had been killed three years before, when she had been dumped by her boyfriend on that back road and struck by a car. Sarah thought it was some kid playing a nasty prank, and went to pull the kid out of the car, only to find there was nobody there.
Of course, by the time she got to our house, she was a wreck. She doesn't like to talk about the incident and is still skeptical of ghosts, but she says there's no other explanation for why she knew what a dead girl looked like, what she was wearing, where exactly on the road she was, and that her boyfriend left her there.
