Sometimes things that go bump in the night are really just idiots dressed in sheets. Take this guy, for example, who broke into a liquor store wearing a ghost costume as a disguise.

According to Q13Fox, security cameras captured video of the guy dressed in a shoddy ghost costume running around an Alabama liquor tore and rummaging through the back rooms.

Surprisingly, our ghostly intruder didn't steal anything, leading many to believe it was just  practical joke for Halloween. However, an identical incident happened at a nearby bar and if the guy behind the ghost is caught, he's facing 3rd degree burglary charges. (That's probably not the treat he had in mind when he though up his little caper.)

Police in the  town seem to be having a little fun with this story. On its Facebook page, they wrote, "Anyone with any information regarding this criminal from the spirit realm, please contact us. But send us am email or shoot us a call, contacting a medium to get to us won't work."

Maybe next time he should at least make sure his costume fits, so doesn't have to stop and adjust it every few steps.
