A Monterey woman, who, according to the police report, said she was really looking for ghosts, found only trouble haunting her.

Wendy Hargis (aka Oliverson), of Hwy. 70N was charged with aggravated burglary (perhaps aka boo-glary) in the incident.

According to Monterey Police Detective Sgt. Jackie McQuiston, the officer responded to a call reporting a break-in on S. Poplar Street in Monterey.

The homeowner had gotten a call from an alarm company that a silent alarm had been set off inside the house.

When the homeowner arrived, he allegedly found Hargis and held her at gunpoint until police arrived.

Sgt. McQuiston alleged that Hargis had used the old bucket and battery technique to get up to a window that she broke out to gain entry.

Once inside, she allegedly pillaged the cabinets and things inside the residence.

The homeowner reported that it looked as if she was staging things to ghost away. (One wonders if it was ghost-toasties, and ice scream -- maybe a poultry-geist from the freezer).

When asked by Sgt. McQuiston what she was doing there, she reportedly replied that she was looking for ghosts.. (She allegedly stated that she didn't find any.)

Hargis was transported to jail and a 2008 Chevy pickup truck, which turned out to be a rental vehicle, was impounded by police.

Hargis goes to court on July 27.
