The ghost of a bank robber is now said to be haunting the very place where he ended his own life.
An otherwise unremarkable intersection in East Memphis has become the site of some unusual activity after a man who robbed a Wells Fargo Bank was cornered there by police and opted to end his own life rather than be arrested.

Grief councillor Mike Einspanjer, owner of Memphis Paranormal Investigations, has reported receiving several eyewitness accounts of a shadowy figure that is now believed to be haunting the very intersection where Marvin Amerson died on July 23rd.

Many of the locals who live opposite the intersection have been keeping an eye out for anything unusual but remain skeptical of the reports.

Bank robber ghost, huh? Does it re-enact his suicide? Be interesting if it did. Maybe he's still trying to rob the bank.

So basically the only person saying folks are seeing this all the time is the "paranormal investigator" and he's not even giving any specific names. Sounds legit to me.

That sounds very spooky! This reminds me of Child's Play the spirit of the killer who got killed by the cops used black magic to tranfer his spirit into the Chucky Doll. I hope they get some video footage of the shadow figure.

We need some more evidence to conclude anything.

I see the ghostly shadows of carriages and street signs .... Oddly enough no one has noticed the trail of the giant man eating snail who's shell is made of real human bones, it's clearly visible in the picture.
