Chopper, hoax ghost in Regensburg, Germany
Chopper refers to a famous ghost hoax reported at a dental surgery in Neutraubling, Germany. The story emerged in 1981 when strange voices appeared from phones, sinks, and electrical outlets in the office.
The case began in 1981 when dentist Dr. Karl Bachseitz and assistant Claudia Judenmann reported insulting voices giving commands from unseen sources. Police investigations eventually revealed it was a fabrication, leading to fines for those involved and widespread public attention on the deception.
Neutraubling is a quiet town where visitors can explore the area around the former dental surgery. The story is now primarily accessible through articles and documentaries, as the location itself offers no special tour or exhibition space.
Assistant Claudia Judenmann was later observed with her lips moving in sync with the voices, providing the crucial proof the case was a hoax. She disappeared from public view after the scandal and changed her identity.
