Drivers passing through the valley outside the city of Haditha, northeast of Baghdad, report that " ghosts appeared near the bridge, naked and doing several acrobatic movements." 

Motorist Shavki Sabar said:

"They were almost human, although I couldn't focus on their appearance because I was very scared and it was dark." 

The ghost-like figures were so lifelike that one motorist thought he had hit a man and reported the accident to the police.
