Check out a few of the occurrences on the list:

  • Sudden temperature drops: Is your AC working overtime, or is it a ghostly chill in the air?
  • Unexplained apparitions: Hitchhikers from the beyond? You better not pick them up!
  • Phantom footsteps: Are you the only one in the car? Maybe not.
  • Disembodied voices: Who's that whispering in your ear when you're all alone?

So, the next time you find yourself cruising through this city, keep your eyes peeled and your seatbelt fastened – you never know who (or what) might be your ghostly co-pilot!
