NZ cricketers' haunted house proving dangerous

A bunch of New Zealand cricketers have been spending time at an alleged "haunted house," and each has come down, rather spookily, with injuries:

Otago provincial representatives Greg Todd, Aaron Redmond, James McMillan, Neil Broom and South African Jonathan Trott have all suffered injuries while living in the former hospice, now converted into a five-bedroom town house.

Todd dislocated his right knee and broke his leg in a freak bowling accident, Redmond dislocated his knee taking a catch while McMillan, Broom and Trott suffered serious muscle strains in a two-week period which left the five players laid up simultaneously.

"These injuries have been a shocker. In the space of two weeks everyone in the flat (apartment) has gotten injured. It's just too bizarre," Redmond said. "None of the other boys in the (Otago) squad have tended to get injured. It's ironic because at the top of our house is a medical Red Cross. It's like an ambulance cross on the roof - too bizarre."
