Folks who live near Wahalla in the Upstate are likely to already know the story about the vanishing hitchhiker on SC-107.

But let’s back up for a moment and just ask the obvious: do you believe in ghosts? Because if you don’t, then you should probably stay off SC-107 at night when it’s foggy or raining, otherwise you won’t be able to explain the vanishing hitchhiker if you encounter him.

Conversely, if you do believe in ghosts, then on rainy or foggy nights you'll definitely want to put this route on your priority list for a real possibility of having a ghostly experience.

Debris from his plane was found scattered on SC-107 between Moody Spring and the overlook. It's no coincidence that drivers on SC-107 have reported picking up the vanishing hitchhiker at various points between the two locations. The mystery rider has asked to be dropped off at both locations, depending on which way the driver was headed. People have reported that once he's dropped off, he just disappears.
