Naked Ghosts Scaring Iraqi Drivers
BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) -- Ghost stories are pretty common around the old Iraqi
city of Haditha. Still, when the ghosts start dancing naked in front of
oncoming motorists, it creates quite a stir.
The state-run Alwan weekly said Saturday that drivers passing through Horan
Valley outside the town of Haditha, 135 miles northeast of Baghdad, were
reporting that ``ghosts appeared next to the bridge, naked and doing some
acrobatic moves.''
Tales of ghosts in the Horan Valley are common, but these ghosts were
``throwing themselves before cars, causing the drivers to panic,'' the paper
said.
Alwan quoted motorist Shawki Sabar as saying ``they were almost human --
although I could not concentrate on their looks because I was so scared and
it was dark.''
The ghosts were so lifelike that one motorist thought he'd hit a person and
reported the accident to police. The newspaper said the police checked the
area for a body, but found nothing.
Some motorists apparently suspect a less supernatural explanation. According
to Alwan, drivers don't brake for ghosts just in case they are really a ploy
by thieves to rob cars.
