Motorists Speeding To Conjure Ghost Of Dead Motorcyclist

(NewsCore) - It could be one of the most bizarre reasons ever offered by a speeding driver: a ghost made me do it!

But that is exactly the story being put forward by superstitious motorists hitting speeds of up to 112 mph on a road north of Newcastle, New South Wales in an effort to conjure up a ghost, The (Sydney) Daily Telegraph reported Tuesday.

Police in Port Stephens, 160 km (99 miles) north east of Sydney, have issued a warning to drivers after it emerged that young people were reaching the eye-watering speeds on Lemon Tree Passage Road to conjure up the spirit of a 20-year-old motorcyclist killed there three years ago.

A handful of videos have been posted on YouTube, supposedly showing a ghostly bright light appearing in the rear windscreen of cars that start driving at high speeds.

The source of the light is unclear -- but some locals are convinced it is that of the motorcyclist's ghost, in pursuit of people who drive dangerously.

Police remain unconvinced.

"It's alleged that if you drive at speed in a manner dangerous, a bright white light comes in behind you and that's what they are calling the Lemon Tree Passage ghost,'' a spokeswoman said.

"We want speeding drivers to know that the only bright light they'll be seeing in their rear windows will be the red and blue lights of a police car."

Riding a motorcycle without a helmet is like trolling for unprotected hooker nookie in sub-Saharan Africa.

What the locals don't know is that the area police made up the story so they could right more tickets. Lol.

"I hear that if you soak your head in the toilet for thirty minutes that you can conjure the ghost of the massive shit I took this morning.  If you seriously believe in ghosts kill yourself and stop wasting oxygen."
