Residents of Devon and Cornwall, England have made dozens of emergency phone calls concerning ghost (including the spectre of actor Paul Newman) and UFO sightings according to newly released files under the Freedom of Information Act

Officers say one emergency call came from a man who rang police claiming to have seen the ghosts of ''two old ladies in a white Fiesta'' on a dual carriageway.  Other worried calls came from people who spotted ghosts or poltergeists on CCTV cameras and another who said he'd seen a ghost which could ''make me a million quid''.  Dozens more calls were also made claiming to have seen aliens including one man reporting that his wife and dog were being abducted by Martians.  More than 150 calls, details of which were released under the Freedom of Information Act, claimed to have seen spooks or UFOs were made to Devon and Cornwall Police over the past 15 years.  One caller claimed a spectre gave him a ''horrible hairstyle and some dodgy photos. Ghost is Paul Newman.''
