The most famous ghostly hitchhiker in the United States is probably Resurrection Mary of Chicago, Illinois, but Cleveland’s Riverside Cemetery supposedly has one as well. According to those who have reported seeing him, he is a well-dressed man in an old fashioned suit. Those who claim to have picked up the hitchhiker state that he is either German-speaking or has a German accent and asks to go to Franklin Avenue to see his daughter. Those who have attempted to identify him claim he might be Hannes Tiedemann, the builder of reputedly haunted Franklin Castle that stands on that street.
