In the New Zealand city of Dunedin, a driver stuck in a ditch complained to a police officer about a ghost.
The car was driven by a 24-year-old man. According to him, he got into an accident because of a ghost that “voted” on the side of the road. The driver panicked when he saw him, backed up and drove off into a ditch. It was not possible to get out of it on his own.
The police suspect that paranormal phenomena had nothing to do with it. Most likely, the driver had too much to drink and mistook for a ghost a pedestrian who wanted to hitch a ride. A blood test was taken from the offender for verification.
