This man’s Lamborghini Countach could be right out of Ghostbusters.
Because it’s being referred to as being ‘haunted.’
The story might seem as bizarre as it sounds.
But footage confirms that no one was at the wheel when it moved that night.

Has a Lamborghini Countach been haunted?
Settle in and get ready for a spooky story that involves a supercar, the dead of night, and a mysterious driver
And even better – the setting for this story is a Scottish castle.
For those who are unaware, Simon Kidston is quite a big deal in the car world.
The British car collector and dealer owns and drives some of the finest things on four wheels.
His family history has car heritage running through its blood.
For one thing, his uncle was a member of the legendary Bentley Boys group.
Kidston’s overall collection is extremely impressive and too numerous to mention.
But one of the jewels in the crown is his 1977 Lamborghini Countach Periscopio.
The early-generation Countach misses the insane aero that would later define the nameplate.
In many ways, that almost helps it stand out even more.
And something else that sets it apart is that the Countach could be haunted.
The owner explains what actually happened
At this point, you’re probably wondering how a Lamborghini Countach might be haunted.
But it might just be more realistic than you think.
The legendary car was parked up outside a Scottish castle for the night.
It then appeared to start up and move in the dark – on its own.
Kidston confirms no one was at the wheel.
He also has security footage backing up his claims.
Thankfully, the iconic car came to a soft rest against a bush.
A little further to the left or the right, and it would have either smashed the nose or fallen into a river.
Some luck, eh?
Okay, so what actually caused the Lamborghini Countach to take off?
While the notion of Scottish ghosts joyriding in an Italian supercar is humorous, it’s likely something simpler.
And that explanation involves Scottish weather and 1970s Italian wiring.
Taking to Instagram, Kidston offered his view.
“Our best guess is a short circuit due to extreme humidity…or a Scottish ghost.”
“Whatever, it’s better than the Countach pointing a foot more to the right and ending up embedded in the wall, or a few feet to the left and heading downhill to the river.”
Kidston believes the electronics were affected by the wet Scottish air.
We wish the explanation were more supernatural and exciting, but that’s likely the reason the Lambo drove off.
