Ghost Child Backseat Drives in The Gasp Menagerie
Seatbelt laws. Needed safety measure or evidence of the nanny state gone wild? What does some bureaucrat care if I want to risk my brains being splatter across the hood of my car following a minor fender bender?
Now it’s just getting out of hand. The Sun tells us of a girl down in Florida who believes she was nagged to put on her seatbelt by a young backseat driver…who wasn’t visible when a selfie was taken.
Below you can see the photographic evidence. Melissa Kurtz says her daughter, Harper, snapped the selfie on the way to a beauty pageant (oh, Florida) and did not see the ghostly figure in the backseat at the time. See for yourself what they found when they looked at the photo.

After discovering the image, they found that the stretch of road they were driving had been the location of a fatal accident where a child had died. The family speculates that the ghost was urging Harper to wear a seat belt, something she had been reluctant to do in the past, leading to multiple tickets for her mother.
The original story also features a picture of Harper posing with the Necronomicon from the Evil Dead films, although I have absolutely no idea what that’s supposed to suggest. The kid in the back doesn’t look like a deadite.
This fits my favorite kind of evidence. It’s either a hoax or real. No way to misunderstand or misinterpret it; that’s a kid in the back, and it doesn’t look like he fits the color scheme of the rest of the photo.
So is it a dead child, killed in a car accident? Is it a good hoax? Is it just business as usual in Florida, where teen beauty queens pose with the Necronomicon for no apparent reason?

Have a weird story? Potential evidence of the supernatural, or at least something hard to explain? Spot any creepy critters out there roaming the wilds? LET ME KNOW! I’d love to talk about it and possibly write it up right here in the Gasp Menagerie.
