How many bridges has she walked across?

I don't know why but this time of year always lends itself to the curiosities of urban legends. Atleast in my own mind, I enjoy a good urban legend this time of year. One of mjy favorites which has stretched across many miles is that of the woman on the bridge. If you are not familiar with it, it is about a woman who is found on the side of the road in formal wear walking towards home. A gentleman always picks her up and asks her where she lives, but by the time they arrive she is no longer in the car. I don't know why but it seems as if she always sits in the backseat and never the front. I don't know whether it is that the men always offer the back seat or that she prefers it. Anyway the men knock upon the door of the ladies home to be told that the daughter / granddaughter died years and years ago walking home from a prom with a broken heart. I can account for two or three potential places in my own state that this has supposedly happened. I have talked to others across the nation who have heard the same tale only for their own area of the country. I know that there are many other tales and I have read so very many. Some are much more frightening then this tale, which in my opinion is subdued. There is the tale of the black dog and the 18 wheeler, ther eis the babysitter with the man upstairs, there is the one with the man in the backseat of the ladies car... How many others have you read? Are there any urban legends that stretch across continents?
