Romanian cops have closed a vandalism investigation that left local houses
in ruins by concluding ghosts were to blame.
Families living in Lilieci reported windows broken, bicycles flying through
the air, objects moving on tables and candles blown out when there is no
wind.
When they complained they were being hounded by evil spirits to police they
were laughed at.
But after officers saw the evidence with their own eyes they filed a report
saying that ghosts were to blame.
Mircea Hadimbu, 68, who says his house has now been completely wrecked,
said: "The windows started to break one by one. I saw two bicycles moving
through the air on their own."
His sister Melentina Bocancea, 78, who lives nearby, added: "There were
cups flying around the house and candles I lit were blown out as soon as I
put a match to them even though there was not a breath of wind in the
house."
A police spokesman said: "There were bottles and things flying around. I
did not know what to dodge first. We can find nothing to suggest it was
anything other than what the people claim."
A priest has been called in to perform exorcisms of houses in the town in
the hope that the attacks will finally stop.
