Hit and Vanish

Further Comments: A driver was convinced that he had run over a figure outside the cemetery (he felt and heard the 'bump' of the body on the car's bonnet), but the 'victim' vanished without trace. A police search of the area also failed to find any evidence of the accident. Twenty years previous, a driver reported seeing a ghostly airman drifting along the road.
