Ananova:

A town in Argentina is said to be living in fear of the ghost of a woman who was ditched at the altar.

Children are refusing to go to school and street cleaners are refusing to work night shifts in Frontera because of the 'ghost'.

They say they are terrified after seeing the ghostly figure of a woman wearing a wedding dress, reports Las Ultimas Noticias.

The town priest has held a special mass to try to calm the angry spirit which locals claim to have seen walking all over town.

A police spokesperson said: "This is getting out of hand, the whole town is terrified, we've been getting phone calls all the time.

"They say it is a bride who was left in the altar and died of sadness and now wants to bring the same sadness to everyone she encounters."
