An apparent zombie sighting has since been revealed to be an autistic woman who had zoned out of a situation she wished she wasn’t physically present in, sources have confirmed.
Emma Bernard, 31, from Bolton, was in fact alive and breathing whilst cousin Megan Aldrich, 33, was talking at her – but just happened to look undead for the entirety of the conversation.
“Due to her autism, Emma often gets fixated on things other people don’t care about,” Aldrich explained. “That’s why I nattered onto her about my wedding plans for almost three hours.”
“We were in a relaxing environment. A coffee shop. With the lovely ambience of plates clattering and teaspoons being dropped every couple of seconds, along with the odd toddler starting to scream because he’d finished his babyccino.” Aldrich insisted. “How could that be overwhelming to anybody?”
Bernard was unavailable for comment, as she was still miles away.
