A man in New Zealand is selling what he claims are two troublesome exorcised ghosts on an internet auction website.
He claims the ghosts, one of an old man and the other a young girl, were removed from his house by a spiritualist and are now captured in vials of holy water..."One spirit we believe is a man by the name of Les Graham, managed to track down a photo," Melvin S says on the website. "He died in the house in the 1920s.
"The other spirit came from when me and my partner stupidly did a Ouija board."
The second spirit is a little girl "who likes to move things", he said.
..."We have had no activity since they were bottled on July 15, 2009, so I believe they are in the bottles."
He says the holy water has changed from clear to a blue colour since the spirits were bottled and "sort of puts them to sleep".
"To revive the spirit, I have been told that you pour into a little dish and let it evaporate into your house.
"I just want to get rid of them as they scare me. But someone might like these to play with."...The sale has turned into one of the auction website's most popular attractions, drawing more than 70,000 hits so far.
It has also provoked strong feelings from viewers, with one describing him as "absolutely sick" for selling someone's family members.
Another warns Melvin S he risks eternal damnation.
To a doubter, he said: "All I can go on is the fact that the activity in my house has since gone.
"The ghosts were messing with me to the point where I could not sleep or eat, so I really just want these gone."
One prospective buyer asks what would happen if he poured the contents into a shot glass and drank them.
"I don't know but you might have friends for life," Melvin S replies. "Multiple personalities might haunt you."
Another viewer wants to know if the "beverages" contain any dangerous additives.
But the most sardonic comment comes from the person who says: "I have two spirits in bottles at home.
"I think they are called Jim Beam and the other is Johnny Walker."
This is a weird one is it not? I kn ow that E-Bay has hosted tons of 'haunted' items like dolls and such, but this is a funny one none the less. Here is the link to the listing on Trade Me:
