Wink Help! I think my car is haunted

This is really strange folks but whenever I reverse off the drive in rain, someone in the car turns the rear screen wipers on!! But I see nobody in the car. If I put the wipers on full and stop at lights or a junction someone turns them on to intermittent to stop that awful screeching noise that I am used to.

Even though I am not in the car, someone waits until I get the key in the lock before they turn the headlights off!

I wish they would pass me a drink from time to time or wipe my brow but must be thankful for small mercies eh!

Looking at your poltergeist I think you must be right - that one matches the interior of my tourer!

Mine even tells the motorway signs to remind the grand kids to "belt up in the back" when they keep on talking.

There is only one haunted car on this forum, and that one belongs to shadomobile.
