Ghosts in Pakistan are trying to show who really wears the pants…

The S.M. Denim factory in SITE was closed this week, pending paranormal investigations. As many as 150 workers have been fainting; some have even mysteriously begun bleeding from their ears, noses, and mouths. The afflicted were treated and released from Abbasi Shaheed Hospital, leaving the doctors perplexed as to the cause.

Authorities sealed the factory, examining it for poisonous gases. No trace was found. Pakistan Council of Scientific and Industrial Research has been inspecting the building, as have “religious figures” in an effort to find an explanation. While experts seem convinced that a chemical has spilled or been released into the atmosphere, the workers have their own opinions.

They blame it on ghosts.

Although the incidents have only been reported within the past week, many employees have convinced themselves that there are angry spirits roaming about the floors. And why are they angry? Because the living have taken up residence in their domicile. The workers are invading their ethereal space. Scientists insist this is absurd and chalk it up to the “simpler nature” of the laborers (i.e. a polite way of saying they are ignorant commoners).

We shall find out next wee when the experts announce their findings. Meanwhile, keep your pants on…
