Halloween might be done and dusted for most of us, but for this US content creator who drives a 1999 Lincoln Town Car hearse – the spookiness isn’t over yet.
That’s because she’s experienced some seemingly other-worldly happenings behind the wheel.
The ‘NO REST’ license plate says it all.
Despite all that, the driver thinks it’s actually ‘very sweet’.

1999 Lincoln Town Car
A symbol of American luxury, the Lincoln Town Car is no longer in production.
The 1998-2011 third generation of the sedan had something of a revision on its predecessors.
The earlier boxier design was smoothed out and made curvier with a longing-down trunk lid added, a pursed lip grille, and cats-eye headlamps.
In more modern news, one dealer explained why a customer brought back his new $79k 2025 Lincoln Aviator after owning it for just a week.
Plus this Lincoln concept car will be controlled with a car-shaped crystal.
The spooky hearse
Content creator, Hailey Rose, explained that she doesn’t believe that her 1999 Lincoln Town Car hearse is haunted – despite the creepy goings-on.
Her custom ‘NO REST’ license plate mirrors the plate previously on ‘Lily the Lincoln’ while it was in service at a funeral home.
Onto the haunting events that have happened in the hearse as covered by VINwiki.
After she was rear-ended in her old car suffering a back injury, one of the storage compartments locked itself and prevented Rose from accessing her tools and working until she booked a physical therapy appointment.
What’s more, faint flower stains appear on the roof from casket arrangements.
Rather than feeling spooked, however, Hailey explains that she finds it all ‘very sweet’.
One thing that perhaps isn’t so sweet is the fact that, following road rage incidents, aggressive drivers have been involved in accidents.
Plus, she’s previously been asked to leave a cemetery by the police because people are ‘grieving’.
This isn’t the first time that driving has been linked to the paranormal, with one trucker capturing a mysterious ghostly figure on dashcam while driving on an empty road.
All Supercar Blondie contributors undergo editorial review and fact-checking to ensure accuracy and authority in automotive journalism. After gaining her BA Hons in French and English at the University of Nottingham, Amelia embarked on a vocational diploma from the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ). This led to numerous opportunities, from interning at Vogue to being on the small team that launched Women’s Health magazine in the UK, which was named the PPA Consumer magazine of the year for three years running. As Health, Beauty and Fitness editor, Amelia personally received a Johnson & Johnson Award and was shortlisted for both PPA and BSME titles. Since then, Amelia has created content for numerous titles and brands, including the Telegraph, 111 Skin, Waitrose, Red magazine, Stylist, and Elle, as well as being Head of Content at Vitality and Editor in Chief at INLondon magazine. “My superpower is translating technical jargon about the mechanical workings of a supercar into a relatable story you’ll want to share with your friends after you’ve read it.” After joining the SB Media family as a senior journalist in September of 2023, Amelia’s role has evolved to see her heading up the SEO output of the editorial team. From researching the most ‘Google-able’ key terms to producing evergreen content - it’s been a time of hard work, growth, and success for the editorial team and the Supercar Blondie website. “I like to think of myself as a ‘method journalist’. In other words: I live and breathe whatever I am writing about. When writing about fitness, I trained as a personal trainer, and as a beauty editor, I completed an ‘expert’ in scent diploma with the Fragrance Foundation. “During my tenure at Supercar Blondie, however, I did something I never thought possible: I passed my driving test at the age of 36. One day I’d love to train as a mechanic to better understand what happens under the hood, too. “My sweet spot is providing readers with a ‘takeaway’ (read: something new they didn’t know before) after reading every one of my stories. While I don’t claim to be an expert in the automotive world, I know the experts and bodies in the field to rely on to provide our readers with an informative and thought-provoking story every time they visit the site.”
