🎙️ The Devil’s Ledger - Week of Nov. 3rd.
The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week: The Vanishing Hitchhiker of Route 66
On Thanksgiving night, 1971, a family driving the quiet stretch of Route 66 near Sapulpa, Oklahoma, encountered a barefoot girl in a torn white dress.
She asked for a ride home.
They wrapped her in a blanket.
She vanished before they reached the house.
What followed — a deserted foundation, a decades-old crash record, and sightings that recur every Thanksgiving — has made Mary Ellen one of the most haunting legends on America’s most famous road.
Was she a desperate spirit looking for her family — or just a story truckers tell to stay awake on long night drives?
Tonight, we ride along.
