Powys zombie sighting turned out to be a film shoot
Tuesday 26th April 2011, 11:19AM BST.
Twenty UFO sightings – including many in the north Powys sky – have been recorded by Dyfed-Powys Police in the past nine years, it was revealed today.
The force has recorded 20 sightings over the period and also 26 reports of ghosts since 2006, 11 witches and two zombies and vampires.
But one zombie report turned out to be in a horror film being shot in Pembrey.
During those five years the force has had to deal with more than 3,300 requ-ests, which police said had cost it more than £500,000.

Really? People call the police about ghosts – what do they think the police will do, handcuff them, pass them an ASBO?!
Surely Aliens could just teleport out of the custody vehicle back to the mothership?
Witches and zombies? People really are silly and should be charges with wasting police time.
