GHOST COW SMASHES WINDOW, RUINS TV NEWS

It was as unexpected as it was shocking. One minute, Brian and Celia Oakflore were settling down to watch TV, the next, their sitting room carpet was showered with glass.

“The BBC news was just starting,” said Brian, “and Celia was pouring a very acceptable little Cabernet Sauvignon. It really is surprising what you can find in Lidl these days. If you’d told me six months ago I’d be shopping in a place like that, I would have laughed in your face.

“Anyway,” he continued, “we’d just sat down to watch when there was a sound of shattering glass and a huge leg went floating past the French windows.”

The shaken pair rushed outside and were just in time to see a white, vaguely animal shape drifting away over the trees at the end of their garden.

As reported by previous witnesses, the apparition seemed to be making some sort of high-pitched crying sound.

“Imagine the noise you would hear if you rubbed two mice together quite vigorously for about a minute,” said Celia, waving her hands back and forth to illustrate.

“Or maybe hamsters,” she added.

This is the third reported sighting of the ‘Ghost Cow’ in under a month and Froghill police are still no closer to uncovering what lies behind these uncanny occurrences.

The Observer asks: isn’t it about time something more was done?
