Ghosts Burgle Pensioner

Two ghosts posed as FBI agents after breaking into an elderly woman's home to steal her possessions.

The pair of spooks had forced their way into the terrace house in Elton Welsby Street in Fenton, when they are thought to have been confronted by the angry pensioner. They tried to trick the woman by showing her an ID card with 'FBI' on it.

The burglars then fled with cash and jam before she had time to raise the alarm. Now Staffordshire Police are consulting with mediums to hunt the two ghosts who were described as "see through" and "floaty".

Police spokesman Barry Shanks said: "We are urging residents to be on their guard and report any suspicious ghosts immediately. Residents should always ask to see identification from any ghost and ask for a phone number to verify that they are who they say they are."
