TAIPEI (Taiwan News) – A “ghost face sticker” in the back window of a car has been scaring passersby in Taiwan.

The blue automobile in a parking lot at Miaoli District Prosecutors Office has been spooking people, Central News Agency reported on Wednesday (May 1). Looking in the car’s rear window they can see what appears to be a sinister female ghost – though it’s really a sticker.

CNA said prosecutors and judges felt uncomfortable walking by the car. Reports added that some visiting business people were so stupefied on seeing the terrifying visage that one called out, “My heart just stopped beating!”

The prosecutors office said the car has been parked in the same position for more than two months. Miaoli police said they could not issue a parking ticket because it is in a parking lot belonging to a government institution.

Zheng Quan-chang (鄭泉昌), deputy director of Miaoli Station, Hsinchu Motor Vehicles Office, said the car will be called in for an emergency inspection because the “ghost face sticker” has frightened drivers and could affect road safety. He added that if the car owner did not bring in the car for inspection before the deadline, they could be fined NT$900-1,800, and if the car was six months overdue for inspection, its license plate would be revoked.

Meanwhile, the prosecutors’ office came up with a custom-made “exhortation notice” that covered the sticker so it would not frighten passersby. The notice asks the owner not to occupy the parking space for such a long time.
