Mass trauma blamed for Thai ghost sightings


PATONG, Thailand: A second surge of tsunami terror is hitting southern 
Thailand, but this time it is a wave of foreign ghosts terrifying locals in 
what health experts described as an outpouring of delayed mass trauma.

Tales of ghost sightings in the six worst-hit southern provinces have 
become endemic, with many locals saying they are too terrified to venture 
near the beach or into the ocean.

Spooked volunteer body searchers on the resort areas of Phi Phi Island and 
Khao Lak are reported to have looked for tourists heard laughing and 
singing on the beach only to find darkness and empty sand.

Taxi drivers in Patong swear they have picked up a foreign man and his Thai 
girlfriend going to the airport with all their baggage, only to then look 
in the rear-view mirror and find an empty seat. >

etc.

Obviously these are time travelers coming back to record the horrid events, 
sport among the ruins, etc.
