Ghosted: Spooked Chon Buri man blames ghost for KFC order
A food delivery rider suffered a personal nightmare when a customer refused to pay for a KFC order, claiming a ghost had placed it. The eerie incident took place in Chon Buri province, with the police stepping in to resolve the situation.
Police from Don Hua Lo station in Chon Buri received a distress call yesterday, October 1 at 11.30pm from 33 year old Penapha, who works as a food delivery rider. She reported that a customer had refused to pay for a KFC order worth 850 baht. Upon arrival, the police found Than, the customer, sitting outside a rented room.
Than spun a spine-chilling tale, insisting he had been fast asleep and hadn’t placed the order. He bizarrely claimed that his late girlfriend’s spirit had possessed him to do so. With no funds to cover the meal, Than reluctantly agreed to accompany the officers to the station if needed.
Penapha recounted the story to the press.
“The customer ordered KFC worth 850 baht and chose to pay on delivery. But when I arrived, he said he had no money and that a ghost had ordered the food. He even threatened that if he got too hungry, he might kill someone.”
Penapha further added that she had previously delivered to this same customer who had paid in full that time. She explained that she couldn’t cancel the order in the system due to company policies. If a customer places an order and refuses to pay upon delivery, the rider cannot cancel it, leaving her in a difficult financial situation. Having worked the entire day, losing 850 baht would be a significant loss for her.
Police officers, after speaking with Than, suspected he might have psychiatric issues. They decided to assist Penapha by taking both her and Than to the Don Hua Lo Police Station. At the station, the police collectively paid the 850 baht, ensuring Penapha was compensated for her work, reported KhaoSod.
