'Bottled ghosts' sold in New Zealand auction

Post by Ironclad » Tue Mar 09, 2010 3:31 pm

Two glass phials said to contain the ghosts of an old man and a young girl have sold for NZ$2,000 ($1,395:£935) in an online auction in New Zealand.

The auction, which ended on Monday night, attracted more than 200,000 page views on the Trade Me website.

Avie Woodbury said the ghosts had been captured in her Christchurch house by an exorcist and stored in holy water.

The top bidder, an electronic cigarette company, said it was looking for ideas on what to do with the ghosts.

BONUS
But after a member of a local spiritualist church performed an exorcism in July last year, the house had returned to normal, said Ms Woodbury.

The ghost of the old man and the girl had been safely contained in holy water, she said, which "sort of puts them to sleep".

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

...So we can one day take solace in the thought that not only do our "souls" exist and live on indefinitely, but that we can be imprisoned within a bottle of holy water and sold off.....lovely... :nono:
"Another aspect of the particulateness of the gene is that is does not grow senile; it is no more likely to die when it is a million years old than when it is only a hundred. It leaps from body to body in it's own way and for its own ends, abandoning a succession of mortal bodies before they sink in senility and death" -Richard Dawkins' The Selfish Gene p.34
