Wales

My wife,son and I were traveling back to London after visiting family in North Wales. It was a cold misty evening and the rain poured down as we drove along the road across the Denbighshire Moors and on seeing a man hitch hiking we decided to give the poor fellow a lift.

As I stopped the car my wife reached into the back seat and lifted our one year old son into the front as the man sat down in the back.

For the whole time the man was in the car I can honestly say he never spoke a word he just grunted to every question I asked him so in the end I gave up but I kept a close eye on him through the rear view mirror.

Anyway after about ten minutes the man in the back grunted and pointed out the window so I stopped the car and the man promptly got out and started walking back down the road.

Now there was definately something strange about his appearance but I couldn't figure out what it was as I watched him walk away. Then distracted by my wife I turned around to look at her "he's got no feet" she kept saying her eyes wide in disbelief and when I looked back to see if this was true it was already to late he had vanished.

Well being over curious and disobeying the strict instructions my wife was screaming at me, I got out the car and with the torch I kept in the glove compartment I walked down the road in the direction the man had taken but I never found him nor did I see any place's for him to have hidden himself behind in such a barren landscape.
