Scottish man fined for "pretending to be ghost" in cemetery

Tim Concannon, prosecuting at Portsmouth Magistrates' Court, said: "This defendant was effectively singing loudly and being disrespectful in among the graves.

"He was throwing himself backwards, waving his arms about and going 'wooooooo'. I'm assuming he was pretending to be a ghost."

Stallard [the defendant] had accepted at an earlier hearing that his behaviour could have been seen to cause distress to grieving relatives, and had pleaded guilty.
