Halloween is passed, of course, but a couple of videos surfaced of some spooky weather during the week of the holiday.
First we go to Hartford, Connecticut, where it appeared a police officer's personal car was vandalized. Someone, or something, ripped off the the rear view mirror on the driver's side door.
Police, being the investigators that they are, went to the surveillance tape, where they caught a ghostly image damaging the car:
As you can see from the video, the thing that damaged the car was a dust devil. The sun shines down causes an updraft, combines with a breeze and spins up into a whirlwind.
In the above video, the dust devil looks particularly ghostly, so it really did fit the season well.
Next we go to a suburb of Montreal. The Montreal metro area had the same wind storm Vermont had on Friday. Winds gusted to 60 mph up there, and like in northern New York and Vermont, there was some damage in the form of downed trees and power lines.
In this video, a tree or something had fallen onto a power line, and this loud, ghostly, cracking scary thing marched along the power lines on what had been a quiet suburban street:
Scary!!
