People love ghosts, as evidenced by the endless number of ghost hunting shows on TV. But what about digital ghosts that many people can experience at the same time? That’s apparently what happened to Google Maps users who witnessed an unexpected change of voice during navigation. A man with a slight Indian accent seems to randomly replace whatever default voice you might have set in Google Maps. Some of the users who encountered the ghost detailed the puzzling software bug on social media.
