Sweet-toothed 'ghost' caught on camera

A 'sweet-toothed ghost' has been caught on camera flinging a packet of sweets from a supermarket shelf after closing hours.

CCTV footage shows the moment the item was hurled at an IGA store in Adelaide, Australia - despite there being no-one in the building.

Owner Norm Hurst said he had closed up for the night, leaving the shop in ship-shape condition.

But at 11.30pm, the CCTV cameras mysteriously switched on to capture a packet of Roll-Ups in the middle of aisle.

Mr Hurst says the sweets are kept 12 metres, an aisle and a corner away.

The CCTV footage above clearly shows the Roll-Up packet being flung into the middle of the aisle.

"One of the cameras shows the packet of Roll-Ups just arriving on the ground...it's not just slid off, it's been thrown out of the pasta, yet the roll-ups are kept 12 metres away," Mr Hurst told Adelaide Now.

Mr Hurst bought the store in October 2011, and was warned by the previous owners that the shop was haunted. He didn't believe it - until now.
