Initial data
On the night of March 31, 2024, a truck driver was driving along a highway in Saltillo, Nuevo Leon, Mexico, unaware that a ghostly presence had occupied the passenger seat next to him.
During the trip, the driver received a call from the transport company and asked who he was giving a lift to. Considering it a joke, he ignored the question.
However, upon arrival at the company's base, he was shown a creepy photo taken by a surveillance camera inside the truck. The image showed a female figure with a creepy, unnatural face sitting next to him. The woman's dress, apparently, was dated to the end of the 19th century.
The company's employees questioned the driver, stressing that their rules strictly prohibit hitchhikers and strangers from driving.
Surprised and swearing that there was no one in the taxi, the driver said that he had not given anyone a lift. This led to the conclusion that he was accompanied by a ghost.
The duration of the ghost's presence is unclear; only a single photo and video of the driver's conversation from the WhatsApp group of Monterrey Express Transport workers have circulated on social media.
The videos and photos went viral locally, sparking debate. Some believed that this was an elaborate joke with an actress or a painted doll, while others were convinced of the authenticity of the ghostly hitchhiker.
They even recalled the urban legend of the 1980s about the "Dead Santillo," a ghost woman who asked for a ride to the nearest ranch.
According to legend, the drivers dropped her off only for her to disappear, and the rancher explained that the woman matched the description of his daughter, who was killed on this highway many years ago.

Deliberate falsification
