Apparently someone designed a ' ghost sighting ' generator and made this site with it. Some of these generated sightings are pretty humorous. If you read some from other towns they list on the site you will quickly notice the common links between them. It looks like the subjects and predicates of the sightings just get jumbled around to make new ones. No wonder it was the 2nd worst site of 2005, lol.
