"Missing time" on empty highways: tired driving or something stranger?
Quote from HauntedLineage on September 23, 2026, 5:11 PMYou pull onto a rural highway at 10:00 PM for what should be a straightforward forty-five-minute drive home. The next time you check your dashboard clock, it’s past 1:00 AM, your fuel gauge is down a quarter tank, and you have zero recollection of driving the last thirty miles.
Highway hypnosis can explain zoning out, but losing whole hours with no memory of where you were is a completely different level of unnerving. Have you ever experienced a sudden chunk of missing time on the road? How did you make sense of it afterward?
