Wade Gallegos was doing a security job in Des Moines, Iowa, and appeared to see the apparitions of a number of men stood by a car. He reported the sighting and a co- worker and supervisor went to the site and couldn't see anything.......
His supervisor couldnt see any evidence of alchohol or drugs but still sacked him 5 hours later.

Gallegos applied for unemployment benefits and the company he worked for claimed that he was guilty of misconduct. A judge said that the company could sack him because he believed in ghosts but said it didn't constitute misconduct.

Do you think it's a bit tough to fire an employee because they see a ghost?
I do sympathise with the employee and I do realise that the security firm has a business to run but I dont know if I would personally fire an employee of mine because he thought he saw ghosts......

This appeared to interfere with his job performance. He isn't supposed to call out backup without good reason.

Hi we have enought *nut cases * in responsible positions now wihtout spreading it to security positions who knows the guy might shoot somebody cus of something he though he saw .

Why dont the guy apply for a job in the clergy seeing things that arnt there is a good qualification for the job roll
