Types of phantom vehicles

Cars and trucks

In July of 2009 in Nichols, South Carolina between 8 and 930 pm a white phantom SUV with what looked like a circle or wreath sticker on the gas door.was seen multiple times by a male driver and female passenger. Originally the SUV was directly ahead of the couple as they drove down an unlit road. As they came to a dip in the road, the car was no longer visible anywhere. A few moments later, headlights appeared far in the rearview. The vehicle approached rapidly and at a fork in the road, with great luck, the couple was able to turn 90 degrees into a small dirt connector road between the split roads. The SUV continued straight. The couple turned back the opposite direction and headed back to a country store they had passed nor long before. As the couple drove back, headlights appeared far off down a side road. As they passed the road, the white SUV pulled out behind them. They got to the country store and parked. They saw the white SUV drive by three more times, back and forth.
