A man suffered a Friday-13th fright after coming across this ghoulish sight in a parked car while passing by.

The footage shows a ghostly figure sat in the driving seat of a parked Chevrolet. The face is pale white with dark eyes and it is apparently dressed as a nun.

The clip was filmed by real estate agent Timothy Choo in a multi-storey car park in the regional centre of Tampines in Singapore on 12th August.

He posted the clip on Instagram with the message: “Please look at what nearly made my assh*le open up for two seconds today.” The video has since racked up thousands of views.

However, as if by design, the story did not hit headlines until the following day – Friday 13th.

The video shows a scary figure, bearing an eerie resemblance to Valak, the demon from the 2018 American gothic supernatural horror film ‘The Nun’, in a parked car.

The truth was later revealed by Facebook user Shah Ismail, who posted a close-up of the ghoulish figure and wrote: “If any one of you saw this woman in a car at night, don’t be scared. I found out the truth already. It’s not real. If you see her next time, just remember my video and you will be OK.”

The post revealed that the scary figure is actually a car-seat cover.

The latest spooky apparition took place during the Ghost Festival, a traditional Taoist and Buddhist festival celebrated during the seventh month of the lunar calendar.

As part of the festival, ghosts and spirits, including those of deceased ancestors, are said to return from the underworld.
