This Frozen Grill Of A Jeep Looks Like The Ghost Of A Car With Unfinished Business
By Jamie Frevele • 02.19.15

Well, that's creepy. In this hospital parking lot in North Carolina, a driver of a Jeep casually drove away after the vehicle was covered in frozen rain, leaving behind a phantom ice sculpture. Maybe ice is commonplace, especially in the dead of winter, but look how creepy that is. In the parking lot of a hospital, where people die on a daily basis, often before they're ready. Is this a ghost Jeep, belonging to a ghost who now seeks revenge? Is this what they left behind? Did a paranormal investigator throw water on what was thought to be an invisible ghost Jeep to catch it in the act?

Nah, just ice. Or Hollow Man...

Interesting.  I just saw a shot of the frozen jeep grille on CNN.  However, the story was about the NE and it had plenty of snow in the background.

I do believe it's "pee'd" sir...

LOL good one tuffy. No other ice around on anything else

Yeah, I'm calling fake/photoshop.

Would it even stay together, much less stay standing there, looking at how thin the ice is? 

Even if it is fake, still a cool picture!

I'm thinking that's Sasquatch's hoodrat "grill". 

[TUFCAT]

Sort of reminds me of this game as a kid...

Looks fake to me. No ice in the street or other surrounding vehicles.

Looks fake to me. No ice in the street or other surrounding vehicles.

Looks like it sat in the parking lot overnight, had the freezing rain cover it, other vehicles showed up after the fact, parking around it, Jeep owner left...

Here a pic of the other side and more to the story.



There might not be an image that more fittingly sums up this brutal winter than the one above.

The photo was taken outside Vidant Medical Center in Greenville, North Carolina, on Tuesday afternoon, according to WITN.com. It shows the imprint of a Jeep in a sheet of ice that was left standing, even after the car backed out of the parking spot.

But how was it possible to make this image a reality?

According to WITN.com, the ice formation might have happened when "the Jeep owner left their vehicle running, warming up the engine. The imprint was then left after they backed out of the parking space. The ice was attached to the curb."

Weather Underground observations show the Greenville area reported freezing rain on Tuesday, and temperatures remained below freezing all day.

The photographer also submitted an image showing the reverse angle of the ice sculpture, and at least one other image has surfaced of a North Carolina car's icy outline left behind.

Now we've seen everything this winter.
