Old Ghost Brings Traffic to a Standstill
A ghost can do what many traffic lights and the occasional traffic cop cannot- grind traffic to a complete stop (take it from me, I used to be a traffic cop!). At least that is what is happening in Coalisland, County Tyrone in Ireland. At one point there was a traffic backup of over 60 cars. That must be some ghost!
People have reported seeing a ghostly woman, while others have reported seeing a naked female hitchhiker. The naked part may just be wishful thinking. 
Locals aren’t sure what the apparition really is. It could be a real ghost, reflections from a nearby river or perhaps it could be tricks the mind plays after drinking too many pints. Whatever the cause, it certainly has created a gridlock on Mullaghmoyle Road.
