A supermarket in Brompton, South Australia is apparently being haunted by the sweet-toothed ghost of a man who was gunned down outside the building 14 years ago.

Security cameras inside the store captured footage of a box of Fruit Roll-Ups being “flung” several meters down the pasta aisle in the middle of the night.

According to business proprietor Norm Hurst, the supermarket’s previous owners warned him the establishment was haunted. Adelaide Paranormal Detectives reportedly examined the footage and found it to be genuine.
