You’re driving along a country road at night and you see a little girl in the middle of the road. You swerve, and next thing you know you’re in the ditch. You get out to make sure the little girl is alright and she’s gone, just like she wasn’t there. Well that’s supposedly what’s happening on a stretch of road near Birmingham, England. People have reported seeing a girl, around five years of age and clothed in Victorian dress on the road. It has been blamed for several crashes and near misses over the years. So who ya gonna call? Ghostbusters! Well, England’s version of it anyway, called Parasearch. It just doesn’t have the same ring to it does it? A West Midlands Police spokesman said the most recent incidents included a crash involving a motorbike and a car in November while last July a woman was taken to hospital after a collision on the same stretch. David Taylor, chairman of Parasearch has said he hasn’t found a rational explanation for the sightings so far. I bet not. Finding it would only mean the job was over and the paychecks wouldn’t come in any more. I suggest checking to see how close the local pub is. The tale of the five-year old girls seems to be repeated and now that the news has gotten out, I expect that she will be blamed for most of them. “But officer, I wasn’t drinking, it was a strange little girl in the middle of the road. The twelve Guiness’ had nothing to do with it.” Of course this could all be an optical illusion of some sorts, like marsh gas, or pink elephants. Taylor says that “The area around there is an accident blackspot and there have been some serious incidents, so maybe they had all seen the same thing.” He has been investigating paranormal claims for over 22 years. We don’t know if he’s actually been successful at it. Of course all of these sightings have happened in the dead of night, after the pubs have closed. I think there may be a correlation here. Wow, I’ve explained it. Maybe I should start my own Ghostbusters. Haunted house? How much liquor, ya got? Explained it. I’ll cash their check in the morning.
