Police receive hundreds of emergency calls because of Halloween.
During
Halloween, witches, ghosts and ghouls regularly roam the streets and needless
to say the police will be gearing up to investigate a number of spooky
happenings. The police in the past have received
hundreds of calls from freaked out Brits who are convinced they are being
haunted, chased by zombies and stalked by ghouls and vampires. Previous
emergency calls have included reports of a poltergeist stealing car and house
keys and a devil possessing a doll. Opps Chucky is back again! Among the 26 calls to Gloucestershire Police was one from a
woman saying a poltergeist had locked her out of her home after she returned
from dinner at a pub. Maybe it was less poltergeist activity and more to do
with ‘spirits’ consumed. There were reports of zombies roaming across
fields and even one of werewolves trying to break down a front door. Police
investigating the zombie incident in Wales discovered it was actually the set of a horror film being shot at Pembrey,
Carmarthenshire. One caller demanded the police send ‘Ghostbusters’ round
seemingly unaware that it was a hit 1980s film and not real. Was that because
there was something strange in the neighbourhood we ask? Norfolk is a popular
bloodsucking area with five reported sightings of vampires and Merseyside
police were called seven times with reports of ghosts and witches. Lincolnshire
Police logged five incidents involving vampires, two concerning werewolves,
nine involving zombies and 20 calls about wizards. Harry Pot Head again! Officers
in the West Midlands dealt with 57 sightings of ghosts. The ghosts at
properties had been nothing more than shadows on the walls. Needless to say
most spooked callers were told to stop drinking and go back to bed.
