A ghost sighting has clogged up both the traffic lanes and the imaginations of the people of Coalisland in Northern Ireland. After several nights of sightings, people from all around descended on the area to catch a glimpse of the phantom. At one point, the traffic jam reached sixty cars deep. At least one local official believes the "ghost" is nothing more than a reflection of the moon in a local river, though many are claiming that it took the shape of a person. Warren Coates of the Northern Ireland Paranormal Research Association believes the ghost may be that of a phantom hitchhiker famously spotted around the area. I can't say either way, but I do know that this is less a job for paranormal researchers than it is for the transportation authorities. Someone should really go and jackhammer that ghost out of existence, if only so people can make it home from work in peace. More details here.
