The White Lady of Palavas

Occitanie · Frankrike · Road

In 1981 four young people picked up a hitchhiker in white — she screamed a warning about the bend, then vanished from the back seat.

The road between Palavas-les-Flots and Montpellier is the setting of France's most famous phantom hitchhiker case. In the small hours of 20 May 1981, four young locals picked up a woman in white in her fifties near the Quatre Canaux bridge; she sat silent in the back seat until she suddenly cried "Watch out for the bend!" — and then the seat was empty. The shaken group reported the incident to the Montpellier police that same night, and the case made national news. The "White Lady of Palavas" has been reported by other drivers since and is now a classic of French ghost lore.
