Black Horse Lake is a seasonal lake. It's usually dry except for the spring and early summer.

There have been many stories of phantom hitchhikers in many states, but this is not your average brief glimpse.

Since this is a flat area, visibility is usually good. Someone in the car will suddenly spot a Native American man dressed in all denim on the side of the road.

Obviously, the normal reaction would be to get out of the vehicle and see if the man is hurt, which the driver often does... but by then, the man has disappeared and is nowhere to be found. And of course, there's never so much as a scratch on the vehicle.

Many people believe that this is the spirit of a Native American man who was struck and killed by a car on this highway many years ago. However, that incident hasn't ever been proven to have occurred.
