Texas man claims little boy's ghost pushed shopping cart into his car, causing $25K damage

[Still Waters]

A Texas man claims a "mischievous child ghost" caused a shopping cart to fly at his vehicle — and he says he knows the ghost. 

Coby Todd is a 21-year-old from Pottsboro, Texas, who recently went ghost hunting in a nearby town, as SWNS reported.

The next day, he was leaving work at a local supermarket outside Dallas, Texas, when a strange and spooky moment occurred. A shopping cart flew into his car. 

"When I got in my car and shut the door, I realized the [cart] had hit it," he said. 

Todd decided to go inside and look at the security footage to see who pushed the shopping cart into his car, he said.

It is pretty convincing that it hit his car and not a random one! I wonder what Papa George will make of this?

Let's not flounder in the darkness when we have a professional device to render judgment and to tell us what we should think.

$25,000 damage for a shopping trolley hitting the side of a 2012 Mustang and making a dent?

That is the real mystery here.

That is not $25,000 worth of damage!   It barely put a mark on the car.   No way his insurance or the store's insurance is going to pay a penny.  Body work does cost a lot more than it used to but if that was 25,000 worth of damage the car would be totaled becuase that is more than it is worth, even now.   It's a crappy 12 year old car for crying out loud!   Have you seen the 2012 mustangs?   Ford does not make a high end car, in fact they have had so much trouble with their cars they quit making them.  They only make pickups and SUV's now.

hahhaha.  How about him pulling the cart over with nylon fishing line. 

The article glosses over the part about the camera that took the video and makes it sound like it is surveillance video that he has access to.
So why was the camera jumping around like someone was holding it. Amateur hour - is what this is.

Ghosts= as in: 'the spirits of the dead walking around in control of their own actions' do not exist

My guess is as someone mentioned earlier, it was a setup. He must have attached a line to the cart and pulled it towards the car. Any damage caused will be covered by the media coverage!

Fox News changed the title after it was posted, it was them that made the mistake regarding the $25k figure.

Gotcha! I didn’t know that.

Cart rolls down slight incline and hits car. A tradgey that happens all over the world countless times a day. News at 11.

So what if it happens to hit a car someone just got into? It had to hit one of them. And saying a "child ghost" did it? Sure thing bro.

That makes much more sense, though I think he is deluded if he thinks his car is worth 25K

0% means you think it is essentially impossible to be paranormal. Seems a little extreme based on what we know especially when it is claimed that there was no wind to speak of.
