The X Files of insurers

[Graeme]

We've all seen the really silly or oddball insurance claims, but there was a recent article from a Melbourne newspaper that I thought I should share:

My favourite one is:

 

MAN was driving home at night and had to cross a bridge, which locals swore was haunted. On his insurance claim the man said that halfway across the bridge he saw the ghost walking across the road.

 

He said he instinctively swerved, and ran his car off the road, writing it off. While the circumstances of the claim were bizarre, it was paid on the basis that the insurance company could not prove that ghosts do not exist.
