Port Antonio, Portland:
A number of persons are now trying to figure out if it was a ghost and if not, what or who drove away a 2014 Land Cruiser Prado belonging to Mayor of Port Antonio, Benny White, from its designated parking area at the Portland Parish Council building recently.
The mysterious incident reportedly took place last Friday, shortly after 10 a.m., and was witnessed by several parish council employees, along with a security guard, who was on duty at the time.
"I am still baffled as to what really happened," commented a security guard, who requested anonymity.
The security guard added, "The mayor arrived on Friday and the Prado was parked at the designated spot assigned to the mayor. He exited the vehicle with keys in hand, and headed upstairs to a meeting. But what took place shortly after is still a mystery as the vehicle was seen reversing from its parked spot on to the roadway."
He further said that the spouse of one of the administrators, on seeing the vehicle reversing on to the roadway, assisted in directing the vehicle on to the main road.
The STAR was also told by at least six employees at the council on Monday that they too witnessed the vehicle being reversed, and that they shouted to the security guard that someone was attempting to steal the mayor's vehicle.
The security guard said that he was told by the spouse of the administrator that a man without any shirt was sitting in the driver's seat when it was being reversed.
However, White, when questioned by The STAR ,dismissed the claims by the employees that the vehicle was driven away by a ghost. He could not explain how, who, or why the vehicle was driven from its designated parking spot, since he had the keys.
"I don't believe in ghost or duppy stories. The vehicle was parked and the engine turned off. I had the keys, but from what they are saying, it is a mystery. All who claimed to have witnessed the incident have concluded that at no time anyone exited the vehicle. What is even strange is that the lever in the vehicle was still stationed in park when the security guard entered," White concluded. Since the incident, an alleged warner woman (a woman with a self-acclaimed spiritual gift) has visited the council sprinkling oil and holy water on the mayor's vehicle.
