Kollywood actor Soori shared a spine-chilling video of his encounter with a 'ghost' on his Facebook page. Soori who was traveling in his car on the Palani-Coimbatore highway captured a one-minute video which he claims is of a ghost he saw.
The video opens with a view from the car's windshield. The car approaches what seems like a ghostly figure — a 'headless', saffron-clad sadhu perhaps, with ash-covered grey legs, right in the middle of the road. Fear grips Soori and his driver, as is palpable in his voice, as the actor asks his driver to turn off the headlights and just drive on — and "run over" the ghostly figure. A few seconds later, a huge thud is heard after which the cabin light of the car is turned on, and the footage shows an orange-coloured object that had settled on the windshield, plucked out as if by magic.
Spooky! But if you're one of those who does not believe in the supernatural, one plausible explanation for the 'ghost' is that it was just plain tarpaulin. Used to protect goods carried by a lorry or luggage tied up on a bus' carrier, a sheet of orange-and-grey coloured tarpaulin might have come loose along with a piece of luggage from a vehicle that preceded Soori's car on the same route, leaving behind what looked like the ghost of headless, rotting old sage on the road. At least that's what the final image of the "ghost" on the windshield looked like to us — tarpaulin, or a deployed parachute, at best.
But you can decide for yourself. Soori has shared the video on his Facebook wall stating "My Real Ghost Encounter, Unbelievably True. Coimbatore to Palani Road at 2.30am."
