A video showing a woman dressed in white, wandering around the roads at night and scaring people has some believing she could be possessed by evil spirits.
The footage was filmed in the Colinas del Rey District in the city of Culiacan, in the north-western Mexican state of Sinaloa where it was widely shared on social networks.
The first part of the clip that was filmed from inside a car shows a woman walking in the middle of the road dressed a ghost-like white outfit.

She finally lays down on the ground as someone pours water on her face.
Although the authors of the video and many members of online communities believe she is possessed, the woman could be mentally ill, officials investigating the video said.
Ernesto Echverria Aispuro, a local health ministry official, suggested she might have been under the influence of drugs, saying: ‘Bath salts and Krokodil are drugs that alter the consciousness of people.’
He was referring to a number of white powders and crystals sold on the street known as ‘bath salts’ – which are designer drugs – and Krokodil, the street name for a powerful morphine derivative.
The woman was not identified, but locals in the video call her ‘Sofia’.
She is currently under the scrutiny of authorities for a series of psychiatric exams.
