IF there’s something strange in your neighbourhood, who you gonna call...?
West Midlands Police, apparently.
Because the boys in blue have received a staggering 152 calls about X Files encounters.
And they haven’t just been about little green men or UFO sightings.
Over the last five years there have been reports of ghosts, witches and zombies, too.
But if the truth really is out there, the cops have yet to uncover it.
A Freedom of Information request by the Sunday Mercury has revealed there are plenty of people who believe in things that go bump in the night.
Or sometimes even in broad daylight. Alien abductions can happen any time.
Most of the paranormal claims, stretching from 2009 to 2014, seem to be a load of warlocks, however. Most were filed under “no further police action required” or “advice given”.
But officers took a February 2010 report of a witch in Brierley Hill a little more seriously.
That led to an arrest – and we don’t think it was the witch.
In all, the force received 29 calls from members of the public who endured a Close Encounter of the Third Kind with aliens.
No fewer than 43 folk were spooked by ghosts, and 73 were the victims of witchcraft.
Other incidents are simply labelled “paranormal” because they were unexplainable.
The supernatural stampede has moved the force to issue some down-to-earth advice.
If you see lights in the sky or a headless horseman, don’t use the force.
Similarly, contact a clairvoyant, not your local constabulary.
