A West Virginia man repeatedly called 911 to report a trifecta of extraterrestrial and undead beings at his home, authorities said.

Clinton Wayne Nelan, 33, of Elkins, who was arrested Sunday, is charged with misuse of a local emergency telephone system and impersonating a law enforcement officer, according to the Randolph County Sheriff’s Office.

Four deputies responded to Nelan's residence following a series of 911 calls reporting zombies, ghosts and a UFO.

"Upon arrival, Mr. Nelan made several false claims, including that he was being harassed by numerous individuals and that he was a police officer from Louisiana," the sheriff's office said.

An investigation confirmed that he was not a law enforcement officer and had misused the emergency system to make false reports, police said.

Nelan was arrested and booked into the Tygart Valley Regional Jail on a cash-only $2,500 bond, online records show.
