The Hairy-Handed Hitchhiker (Horror Comedy Audio Story)⁠

Comedy - There are many urban legends and stories of the hitchhiker. This is an affectionate take on the Orson Welles' suspenseful radio shows. Pudsey Diddleberry, a man embarking on a solo cross-country drive from Virginia to California. From the very start of his journey,  Diddleberry  is unsettled by the eerie presence of a mysterious hitchhiker—a thin, quiet figure in shabby clothing—who appears again and again along the roadside, no matter how far or fast  Diddleberry travels.As  Diddleberry  presses onward, he becomes increasingly unnerved by this uncanny figure, who seems to materialize in the most remote locations, always signaling for a ride. In an escalating state of dread,  Diddleberry  tries desperately to escape the hitchhiker’s haunting gaze, but the stranger keeps reappearing, as though stalking him across the nation. He picks up some over dangerous and questionable hitchhikers as well.Growing more frantic,  Diddleberry  phones home, hoping for reassurance from his mother, only to discover a shocking twist that calls into question everything he believes about his trip—and his very existence. The story culminates in a chilling revelation, leaving the listener to ponder whether the hitchhiker is a malevolent apparition, a figment of Diddleberry ’s troubled mind, or something else altogether.Written and directed by Tom Konkle.
