@afewbugs I think I'd have the same reaction. Being afraid to research, that is. My gut tells me in this case the second hypothesis is more likely. You probably would've decided that where she was going wasn't very important.

@Fragglemuppet Hypothesis 1: she never existed, my tired brain somehow glitched out and hallucinated her. Hypothesis 2: she existed but my tired brain somehow glitched out and failed to register where she went. Hypothesis 3: some spooky shit that contradicts the understanding of reality that has served me very well to date, and as I am a coward I have deliberately never tried to investigate whether a young woman ever died in an accident on that stretch of road, possibly in the 1970s, because I'm not sure how I'd cope with finding out someone did

@Fragglemuppet It was the week before I submitted my Master's thesis, so I was very stressed and sleep deprived, and it was twilight. I was walking home when I realised I'd left my phone in the library, so turned round and headed back up to university in a bit of a panic. There was a girl with long blond hair, a pink sweater and beige flares walking ahead of me. She started to cross the road and then vanished before getting to the other side. I actually ran up and down the road looking in house front gardens to try and figure out where she went.
