Ghost spotted sitting on bridge handrails in Thailand


Some people believe that ghosts or supernatural beings truly exist.

While their existence cannot be proved by scientific methods, one thing we know about ghosts is that they rarely made their appearances publicly.

That’s why we’re certain that some apparitions sighted in public aren’t supernatural beings at all.

To give you example, here’s the story of a ghost – spotted sitting on bridge handrails – who turned out to be a human wearing a creepy mask in Thailand.

According to PPTVHD 36, the person on the bridge was reportedly a 15-year-old boy with autism. He’s reportedly often found sitting there on the bridge and wearing spooky mask to frighten passersby as he loves teasing people.

Nevertheless, netizens mostly didn’t seem to find what he did funny at all.


Netizens express safety concerns about the incident


After the clip was circulated online, many netizens suggested that the boy shouldn’t tease people the way he did.

Translation: And why did he has his faced mask there?

One viewer jokingly wondered why the boy had his face masked there.


Try wearing other masks


Since a ghostly face mask might be too scary, perhaps wearing other types of face masks or costumes from popular TV series or movies could be an alternative.

Regardless of how this tale plays out, we hope the boy will stay safe along the roads, and that his loved ones will help ensure that his quirky hobby will still allow those around him to be entertained in a safe, socially responsible manner.
