There's drunk, and then there's dead drunk: passengers on a train in Germany called police when an unconscious man covered in "blood" on their ride appeared to be the victim of a violent crime. Fearing he might be dead or dying, his fellow travelers called officials to intervene. But have no fear, Germany: it wasn't a dead guy on your train. Just a drunk zombie. 

Maybe it had to do with the fact that celebrating Halloween is a relatively recent phenomenon in Germany despite the ghoulish festival's roots in Europe. Passengers on a regional train in Bad Segeberg in northern Germany had certainly never heard of it when they mistook a Halloween reveler for victim of a bloody crime.

The man in question was lying in a drunken stupor, dressed in a spooky costume and seemed to have what looked like blood smeared on his hands and face. The horrified passengers called the police after they failed to revive him.

Oops! Well, at least they called the cops and didn't just dump him out the door. Glucklichen Halloween, Germany!
