Florida Man Returns From the Dead Just In Time To Celebrate Halloween

Of all the many things Florida Man has done, making a return from the dead in time for Halloween ranks among his biggest accomplishments.

FLORIDA MAN STRIKES AGAIN!

DATELINE - Miami and the saga of Florida Man Moises Ramos. He's a 51-year old real estate broker who got into a minor car accident as he was pulling out of his driveway.

This happened back in 2019.

Ramos told USA Today in an interview the other day, "I guess we were both at the wrong place at the wrong time. She hit me in the rear, spun my car around, and we had to call it in for insurance purposes."

Ramos went on to say that he did file an insurance claim, then went about his life not thinking anything further came from the crash until he applied to become an Uber driver in 2022. That's when his application was denied.

Why?

Because he was listed as a fatality in that car crash back in 2019.

Now, Ramos obviously knew there was a mistake. He thought, though, that the cops had declared the other person dead. That other person was not dead either.

But when Ramos went to the Cutler Bay Police Department to look into the matter, he found out what had actually happened. The lady that was behind the desk, she seemed a little perplexed. "She's looking at me a little weird," Ramos said. Then she went up to get the report. When she came back with the report, she said, "You're the fatality, not her."

So he had to get his record change back at the state level, and that was not exactly an easy process. In fact, he called several times over the course of the months that followed without any luck whatsoever.

So what he did was he contacted a local Miami television station. There's a segment there called Help me, Howard. So apparently, Howard helped him.

A spokesperson at the Miami Dade Police Department confirmed the account of the mistaken fatality and said it was corrected by local law enforcement. When asked about the incident, the state released the following statement via email and confirmed that Ramos's license is no longer marked as deceased. The statement reading, "The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles is the state repository for crash reports, which means we can only enter what is provided to us from law enforcement. If law enforcement incorrectly coded the crash report to show Mr. Ramos was deceased, they would need to submit a corrected crash report to the department for correction."

So here on Halloween 2023, we have Florida man returning from the dead.

In fact, Florida Man's daughters were teasing him, saying he'll be the star of Halloween this year. "You can be the walking dead, Dad."

Each month, Florida Man seems determined to top his antics from the previous 30 days.

And somehow, he manages to succeed.

In the month of September, transportation appeared to be trending in the Sunshine State - stolen cars, torched vehicles, hamster wheels - you name it!

Getting robbed and arrested all in a matter of a few minutes? That seems like quite the feat.

Until you remember that it's Florida Man we're talking about.

And then there's assault with a deadly lollipop.

What's your favorite Florida Man story from September?

Who doesn’t love lollipops? We’re pretty sure that Florida Man can be counted in the “yes” category when they’re being passed out.

You go to the bank, and there they are at the counter. Oh sure, they’re supposed to be for the kids but you know you’ve taken one (or two) for yourself.

Leave it to Florida Man to use a lollipop as a weapon.

This might be one of our all-time favorite Florida Man stories.

There are only a handful of Rolls Royce Wraiths painted in this particular shade of purple. So what does Florida Man do when he steals it?

He posts it for rent on social media.

Florida Man possesses some very unique traits. For example, how many people can claim they were robbed, call the police to report the theft, and then end up arrested?

When a jealous Florida Man carries a figurative torch for his girlfriend, and a literal one for her Jaguar SE, you just KNOW you have a hot story on your hands.

There’s nothing like having a hobby. In the case of Florida Man, it’s gone from a giant hamster wheel hobby to an obsession worthy of a grand slam.

Now, if this story sounds familiar, well, it should because this is not the first time Baluchi has attempted this.

There were similar stunts in 2014, 2016, and in 2021 which we had told you about in a previous episode of Florida Man Strikes Again.

All of those episodes have ended with Coast Guard intervention.
