On this day:

BIKERS AND PHANTOM HITCHHIKERS

On April 4, 1980, in Cape Province, South Africa, Andre Coetzee felt someone climb behind him while he was driving his motorcycle. Panicking, Coetzee acceler-ated. The ghost rapped him on the helmet three times. Only after Andre reached 160 kph (99 mph) did the unseen passenger depart. Stopping at a café, Coetzee could hardly speak. He later learned he was at least the third person to experience the phantom hitchhiker.

In April 1978, army biker Corporal Dawie van Jaarsveld was driving along the road near De Rust. He offered a young woman hitchhiker a ride to the nearby town of Uniondale. Her reply was mumbled and couldn't be heard through his crash helmet. She climbed on the bike, and he gave her a spare helmet to wear and a transistor radio earpiece so that she could listen to the radio. Ten miles later, his bike's rear wheel skidded, and Dawie pulled over to check the tire. Astonishingly, his passenger was gone, the extra helmet was strapped to the seat and the spare earplug had somehow been placed in his own ear, inside the helmet he was wearing! He commented, "I can tell you, the moment I realized these things I could feel the hair stand on end on my head and I had cold shivers up and down my spine."

In March 1976, Anton Le Grange picked up the phantom female in his car. He got a policeman to go to his car with him, and they watched as the door opened and closed itself. On hearing the news, a pilot came forward. His fiancée, Maria Rouz, had died in April 1968 on the very spot where the phantom was picked up. Le Grange, looking at Rouz's photograph, identified her as his phantom hitchhiker. When he described the clothes the hitchhiker was wearing, they turned out to be the same outfit Rouz had been wearing when she died.

Hey, y’all, it’s Weird Wednesday! Where on some Wednesdays, I blog about weird stuff and give writing prompts.

Today: Fetches: Apparitions of the Living

Welcome to Weird Wednesday! Today we’re talking about ghosts that aren’t ghosts.

We all know what an apparition is: a ghost! And a ghost, by definition, is someone who’s died. But what about cases where people have seen ghostly figures who are very much alive?

July, 1882.

I was expecting my husband home, and shortly after the time he ought to have arrived (about 10 p.m.) I heard a cab drive up to the door, the bell ring, my husband’s voice talking with the cabman, the front door open, and his step come up the stairs. I went to the drawing-room, opened it, and to my astonishment saw no one. I could hardly believe he was not there, the whole thing was so vivid, and the street was particularly quiet at the time. About 20 minutes or so after this my husband really arrived, though nothing sounded to me more real than it did the first time. The train was late, and he had been thinking I might be anxious.

Amy C. Powys.

—Phantasms of the Living, Vol. 1

Check out the blog post for the whole story and some fetching writing prompts, such as: 

Spy vs Spy. Fetches are usually thought to be mere apparitions, with no ability to interact with or even be aware of their surroundings. But what if a person’s arrival apparition could be used to get a glimpse into an unknown place? Say a character was on a battlefield, about to storm a castle. Their fetch could take a quick look around before they get there. Or perhaps a prisoner might be able to check their future cell for weak points. Crucially, it would have to be a place they were going to visit within the next few minutes, so it wouldn’t give much time to react to what they learned. Unless, of course, as the writer, you change the rules— what if fetches could precede a person by a full day? But remember, anyone in the castle or prison who saw the fetch would get advance notice of the arrival.
