Group of OAPs on ghost walk left petrified after confused cops held them at gunpoint A GROUP of OAPs on a ghost walk got a fright — when confused cops held them at gunpoint.
Lancashire Police confirmed armed cops ran into the ghost tour, adding: “They were initially thought to be part of the scenario and officers sought to evacuate them.
One woman said: “Don’t shoot, I’m on a ghost tour”, before the red-faced cops realised their error and left.
In footage, an officer returns to the group to apologise and confirm none of the weapons was carrying live ammo.
The weapons team got lost on a counter-terror drill, burst through the wrong door and thought the petrified pensioners were actors.
