Police have accused a high school teacher of holding teenagers at gunpoint after he found them ghost-hunting in a Tennessee graveyard.

The Hamilton County Sheriff's Office says deputies went to Shipley Cemetery, outside of Chattanooga, on Saturday night after a complaint of shots fired.

Police say they confiscated an assault rifle from 45-year-old Stacey Swallows.

Several teens, ages 16-19, told deputies they had gone to the cemetery after reading an online ghost story about it.
