Ghosts in vials
http://in.reuters.com/article/lifestyleMolt/idINTRE62913120100310

Excerpt:


WELLINGTON (Reuters Life!) - A New Zealand woman sold two vials that she said contained the ghosts of an old man and a young girl for almost NZ$2,000 ($1,410) after a fiercely contested online auction, local media reported.

Avie Woodbury from Christchurch told TVNZ that she captured the spirits after an exorcism session of her house and for which she paid roughly $100.

Woodbury then put the ghosts into holy water and stored them in separate vials before deciding to auction them.

The web page for the sale attracted more than 200,000 views before the auction ended on Monday after a week. Woodbury said all proceeds from the auction, minus the exorcist's fee, would be donated to an animal charity.

"I would get things like the jug boiling itself, touching on the back of my neck, voices from other rooms, and items going missing then turning up in weird places," she said.

"I just want to get rid of them as they scare me. But someone might like these to play with," she said.

~~

Well, at least she said she's giving the money to an animal charity. :-)

1. Reminds me of something Gary Busey said
"I think something is living in my ventilation system. It's either a rodent of some kind or a ghost. Either way, I'm gonna find it."

I think I'm going to buy some glass vials and hang around at the local cemetery. Maybe I'll be able to get in on the ground floor and really make a killing....or you know clean up after a killing, whichever.

Q3JR4.
If only I didn't have a conscience, I could be making soo much money.
Then I think about those little old ladies who would send me their last
$5. I really don't want that on my mind.
