Truck driver stories/ghost stories/mythology

[nathan]

Hey everyone, so Chorch did a show last night with a guy who knew a little bit about truck driving stories/myths/legends/whatever, and I LOVE the subject matter but it just was kinda lackluster for me last night. Heather also had a caller on MITD last night who said some interesting things, and I know Art has had some truckers on open lines and whatnot, but does anyone know of any specific old Art Bell episodes that deal with this stuff?

Truck driver stories would be a good listen.

I bet bus driver stories could beat them easily.

I paid for college working summers (starting at age 13) on a crew that did very specialized maintenance at shopping malls across the eastern US.  I spent alot of time on the road in company trucks, usually traveling/working at night.  I saw some truly amazing things during those nights, although nothing supernatural.  Scariest was finding out three criminally insane inmates had escaped from a state facility and apparently walked by us as we were unloading our truck.

The specter of Large Marge is a good tale:

George Knapp had Annie Wilder on a few years ago, she wrote a book called Trucker Ghost Stories. It had stories told to her by truck drivers and others who encountered odd things while driving around the US. It's a very good read.
