Thai Police Arrest Two Spirits Allegedly Responsible for Grandmother’s Murder

NONG HAI — Officers from Huai Luang Police Station have reportedly taken into custody two spirits accused of possessing a local man and using his body to murder his 89-year-old grandmother, marking what authorities describe as a breakthrough in metaphysical law enforcement. “A preliminary investigation confirms that the man was under the influence of two Type A-class spirits with prior histories of disruptive hauntings,” said Pol Lt Col Manit Kaewcharoen, noting that spectral interference remains an ongoing challenge for investigators. “When spirits commit crimes through human hosts, it complicates paperwork.” Police stressed that proper maintenance of household spirit houses could help prevent similar tragedies, reminding residents to provide quality offerings such as name-brand soft drinks, fresh fruit, and recognizable snack labels rather than expired or imitation substitutes that may anger territorial entities. “You can’t expect premium protection with discount cola,” Manit added. Authorities warned that neglected shrines and stingy offerings create openings for rogue apparitions seeking attention or vengeance. At press time, the detained spirits reportedly insisted they too were victims of possession by even more senior spirits, prompting police to consider expanding the investigation into the afterlife hierarchy.
