A baffled shop worker believes he's caught the moment a 'mischievous child ghost' pushed a trolley into his new sports car - after 'following him home' from a ghost hunt. Coby Todd was left baffled when a shopping trolley hit the side of his Ford Mustang outside his work earlier this month - but nobody was around to have moved it.
The 21-year-old returned inside to view the bizarre store CCTV footage, which shows the metal cart turning around on its own to face his vehicle as he gets inside. Despite nobody being in shot the trolley then darts across the car park and crashes into Coby's car where it stops.
The keen ghost hunter says he's convinced the trolley was pushed by the spirit of a nine-year-old boy he'd made contact with the day before at a ghost hunt.
He believes the child followed him from an old house in Frontier Village, Texas, then into work at a supermarket outside of Dallas, Texas.
Coby believes the 'friendly spirit' may not be 'at peace yet' and had tried to 'play with him 'or 'tell him something' by denting his car, which is believed to be worth around $25,000 (£20,000).
He's since shared the footage on Facebook and defended claims it's simply wind blowing the trolley by claiming there was 'no wind' and the store's walls would block any gusts anyway.
Coby from Pottsboro, Texas, US, said: "I think it's the boy from the house and he's followed me home and then to work.
"I went hunting for spirits at a really old house where people died. I sensed a little boy spirit that was playing around and the next day this happened.
"When I got in my car and shut the door I realised the trolley had hit it. I thought someone had tossed it at me but when I got out there was no one there so I went inside to get the video footage.
"I didn't know what to expect so I just started recording it. You can see the cart do a whole turnaround and then hit mine on purpose.
"I just thought it was cool. I wasn't scared. Maybe he's not at peace yet and he was trying to let me know something. He wouldn't be considered a demon, he'd be considered a friendly spirit.
"Maybe he was trying to play with me. I'm glad we caught it on camera.
"There was no wind and the building is really big so it would have blocked off the wind anyway. That makes me even more sure it's supernatural.
"My colleague didn't know what to think. They thought I was talking to the cart and it got mad at me. They didn't want to think that it was a spirit so joked about it.
"It's not fake. Who is going to purposely throw a cart into their car and damage it. I just got the car and it's my baby. It put a big dent in it and it upset me."
Coby claims his garage opened and closed on its own earlier that day too and blames the same spirit, who he says died by falling down stairs at his home.
However, the keen ghost hunter hasn't been deterred by the spooky goings on and says he'd love to return to the house and speak to the boy.
His Facebook post said: "So this happened to me when I was leaving work. It wasn't even windy. The cart had been there at least an hour."
One commented: "You have entered the Twilight Zone."
However one said: "Can anyone see the fishing line?"
Coby hit back and said: "Fishing line? Lol you're kidding right. Who would want a cart hitting their car? This is my baby girl."
