    • Anthony Stallard, 24, was spotted in Portsmouth’s Kingston Cemetery
    • Stallard was flapping arms, throwing himself backwards and making ghost noises
    • He could be heard by mourners there 
    • Lawyer told magistrates: ‘I’m assuming he was pretending to be a ghost’ 
    • He admitted a public order offence and was asked to pay total of £75
    • Extra 3 months was added to an existing 12-month suspended sentence
    • Charge of damaging graves with a ball dismissed as witnesses didn’t attend

    A man has been fined for pretending to be a ghost and other rowdy behaviour in a cemetery.

    Anthony Stallard pleaded guilty at Portsmouth magistrates court to using threatening or abusive words or behaviour likely to cause distress.

    The court heard that the 24-year-old had been out drinking with friends when they went to Kingston cemetery in Portsmouth, where they started to play football.

    A Hampshire police spokesman said that witnesses complained to police about Stallard’s rowdy behaviour and his pretending to be a ghost.

    “The witnesses reported the group engaging in rowdy behaviour and one of them throwing their arms in the air and saying ‘woooooo’,” he said.

    Stallard, of Southsea, Hampshire, was fined £35 and ordered to pay a £20 victim surcharge and £20 in costs.

    He also had an extra three months added to a conditional charge for previous harassment which he was found to be in breach of, according to a Crown Prosecution Service spokeswoman.

    And if he commits a further offence that breaches this suspended sentence, he will face 12 weeks’ imprisonment.

    A charge of causing criminal damage to gravestones was dismissed.

    Charges of causing damage to gravestones as the pair played football were dismissed when witnesses failed to turn up at court.
