HAUNTINGTON, N.Y. -- In the spirit of Halloween, New York state police issued a wanted poster today for an unusual, hard-to-catch criminal:

George C. Ghost

The 400-year-old ghost is accused of haunting homeowners at his previous residence in Hauntington, the state police poster says.

Ghost specifically wanted for the crime of harassment. This is the 10th time Ghost has faced this charge.

Ghost has been confronted by troopers on multiple occasions, but he has eluded capture, since handcuffs don't work on ghosts, police said.

State police released the wanted poster for Ghost on its Facebook page this morning for a special Halloween edition of "Warrant Wednesday."

Ghost is described at a 5-foot-tall male who weighs zero pounds and has black eyes, police said. He often refers to himself as "The Keymaster."

Police asked anyone with information to not take any police action other than to contact Ghostbusters. Troopers asked for community members to share their ghost hunting tips in the comments.
