Irish Halloween weather report prank isn't over yet

Remember that Halloween prank Irish weather reporter Caitlín Nic Aoidh pulled on Monday night? The one where she appears to get struck by lightning and vanishes?

Well, Irish Channel TG4 isn't ready to give up the ghost just yet.

Clearly in an effort to maximise the sweet, viral publicity that flared up around the prank, the network has made a followup mockumentary-style video claiming Caitlín hasn't been seen since.

"It appears she was hit by lightning," reads the reporter in the clip. "She has not been seen since then."

Here's the original clip that went viral.

In fairness to Caitlín, she's keeping up her side of the illusion well: Her last retweet was on Oct. 31, and at the time of writing she's yet to pop back up on social media.

Here's hoping she hasn't actually been abducted by aliens, or we're all going to feel terrible.
