I guess Halloween decorations are usually found on the barbed wire fence bordering the Chillicothe power plant.

The car's passenger compartment is more or less intact. The guy probably would have walked away if he was wearing his belt.

It was actually a woman, and it was only a day or so. I lived the next town over and probably drove by her. Snopes

At least hers is a bit understandable, since she was in the front yard. How the hell do you think a body hanging from a power plant fence in some fields or whatever is a halloween decoration?

And how did that guy even get thrown out of the car like that? It looks like the windshield is intact.

I just noticed that. The hole is in the back window, so he somehow got tossed all the way to the back of the car over both the front and back seats and maintained enough kinetic energy to fly 20 ft into the air. I'm struggling to envision how this actually happened.

Edit: let's calculate. Initial vertical component of velocity required to get to a height of 20 ft (6.1 m) is:

y=sqrt(2*9.8*6.1)=10.9m/s=24.4mph

So after all the flying over seats and smashing the window, the guy was still thrown from the car at a minimum vertical speed 24 miles per hour (overall speed probably considerably more than that since the trajectory was not purely vertical and he had to have flown higher than 20 ft to land like that on the 20 ft tall sign).

From what I heard, it was only half of him up there, which I guess is why there's another sheet in the car. So it was a little less mass to fling.

assuming he car flipped and fling him out the back window if the rear was coming up and forward it could have cut him in half and thrown only one half up, maybe
