<p>A late-night drive on an almost empty stretch of the M6 should have been uneventful.</p><br><p>But just past Wigan, one driver noticed a woman standing alone on the hard shoulder. No broken-down car. No hazard lights. No attempt to wave for help. Just a still figure in a light-coloured coat, facing the road as traffic passed in the dark.</p><br><p>As the car drew level, she turned and looked directly at the driver - not frightened, not pleading, but waiting. A moment later, she was gone. No movement. No trace. Nothing visible in the mirror but the empty hard shoulder behind.</p><br><p>In this short Fright Bites encounter, a seemingly ordinary motorway sighting becomes something far harder to explain, especially when a colleague later mentions the stories attached to that same stretch of road: reports of a woman seen near the place where a fatal accident was said to have happened years before.</p><br><p>A quiet, chilling account of late-night roads, roadside ghosts, and the unnerving feeling that some places hold onto the final moments of those who never made it home.</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
