A ghostly image that danced through a police department's car park had officers believing their patch was haunted.
According to NBC Connecticut, surveillance video shows a ghost-like wisp of wind whirling around a car, ripping off the mirror, tossing it around a bit and then dropping right back beneath the door.
"At the end of his shift, he went out to his car and found his rear view mirror had been damaged and it was lying there next to his vehicle," Hartford police officer Lt Brian Foley said.
Initially, police thought the car had been vandalised, but CCTV footage showed a far spookier phenomenon.
"Some of the officers said they think the parking lot's haunted," Lt Foley said.
But NBC Connecticut meteorologist Brad Field said the image was scientific than supernatural.
He said conditions in the car park were "just right for a dust devil", which he described as a tornado-like whip of wind that tends to form over asphalt.
"The only way you can see the dust devil is that it picks up dust and debris into it," Mr Field said.
