WILMINGTON, MA — Claims by Wilmington residents that they had seen a ghost in the Market Basket store have kept talk radio hosts busy since Patch first reported the story two weeks ago. And now the Wilmington Police Department is getting in on the fun. The department posted the above video on its Facebook page Wednesday.

"Wilmington has recently gained quite a bit of national attention over ghost sightings at our local Market Basket store," the post said. "We didn't think there was much to the story until one of our officers captured this footage today!"
