Found a ghast spawner in the overworld

[zorn]

I can't find any reference to ghasts existing in the overworld, other than spawning near a nether portal.

It turns out the spawner was about 150 blocks from my base, and a buddy found it Somehow he let them out so now I have ghasts flying around the jungle outside my base. I can hear them from inside my workshop.

Has anyone else ever run into ghasts in the overworld before?

Yeah, in the early days of Big Dig I found a nether fortressish thing sitting in the water in the overworld. I went to investigate, and there were blazes and ghasts, which I was unequipped to fight against. Don't remember why I deleted that world though.
