Who You Gonna Call?

This past week a lady had a very unusual auction going on Trade Me ( NZ version of ebay).
This auction actually became an international news story. She was selling two captured ghosts in bottles. She said her house was haunted by an old man who lived in the house in 1920 and a little girl who turned up after a session with a Ouija board. She had a spititualist come and exorcise the ghosts and they were trapped in these bottles of holy water! the spiritualist advised her to burn the bottles, but she said she couldn't bring herself to do that so she wanted to offer them to someone else. She said the proceeds of the auction would go to cover the cost of hiring the spiritualist and the rest would go to the SPCA.



The site had over 200,000 views and had hundreds of comments ranging from people congratulating her for such a unique auction, people calling her a scam artist, people very concerned for the welfare of the trapped spirits, people asking what would happen if they drank the water, to people saying they had their own spirits in a bottle - namely Jim Beam and Johnny Walker!
The winning bid was $2,830!!
Now there are all sorts of bottles of coloured water appearing on Trade Me - with very "tongue-in-cheek" descriptions of their contents!! Pretty funny!
