He told the police that he was hired to drive the hearse on Halloween night with eight people dressed like "ghosts" from District 7 to District 1.

He stopped the hearse in the middle of the street for the passengers to take out a stretcher and pretend to seek medical attention for an injured person.
Their performance attracted many curious bystanders.
