Word of the Weird: Wednesday June 20th 2012 A Ghost Did It!

So I have decided that every Wednesday, I am going to write an article where I bring you Word of the Weird happenings that involve some sort of ‘paranormal’ angle.  And this week’s stories are no different.  So apparently, in January of this year, the Fond du Lac county Sherriff’s department (WI) responded to a domestic violence call.  When they arrived they found a woman who claimed that her husband, Michael West (41), attempted to choke her several times and then struck her in the face when she tried to call the police.   West made up some lie or other about his wife falling down causing the injuries.  When questioned further, he finally admitted the truth.  A ghost did it!  Surprisingly, not a single person believed him (note the sarcasm).  West has been known for his violent outbursts in the past and his wife had even had a previous ‘No Contact’ order filed against him.

Huffington Post had this to say:

Alexandra Holzer, a second-generation ghost researcher and HuffPost blogger, says West's alibi, while highly unusual, could be possible, but admits his "shady, checkered spousal abusive past" makes her skeptical.

Our first video. :-)  This is old news but I wanted to post it anyway just because I find this story so ridiculous.  Watch this video and what LITTLE evidence they actually show.  Granted I know the video is very short, but still... Hope you enjoy.  If you know more about this case or would like to comment on it, please do so in the comments section.

Oh, and the anchorman reporting this story seems to be a little to happy over this story.  Watch him and see.
