A Man’s Been Arrested For Running Around A Cemetery Pretending To Be A Spooky, Spooky Ghost
"He was waving his arms about and going 'woooooooooh'."
In spooky news, The Daily Mail‘s reporting that 24-year-old Anthony Stallard from Portsmouth was arrested yesterday our time, for kicking a soccer ball in a cemetery and running around pretending to be a spooky, spooky ghost.
This tweet was written by a spooky spooky ghost! Lol jk everyone, it’s just me. Have a fun and safe Friday the 13th.

Prosecutor Tim Concannon told Portsmouth Magistrates’ Court: “This defendant was effectively singing loudly and being disrespectful in among the graves. He was throwing himself backwards, waving his arms about and going ‘woooooooh’.
“I’m assuming he was pretending to be a ghost.”
Good sleuthin’, Tim.
Jokess aside, it’s pretty uncool to run around a cemetery pretending to be a ghost where people are trying to mourn their loved ones (unless you happen to be a ghost, in which case carry on). Stallard was fined £35 and received an extension on a previous suspended sentence, putting a serious dent in his plans to rob the local bank by convincing everyone it’s haunted by a spooky, spooky ghost.
