AIBU to think this is a very very odd thing to find on eBay

it's not alone either. Lots to choose from (and not cheap)

Right. I've been needing to get rid of a load of old kids toys at a car boot sale for ages, but now I'm going to pop it on eBay, stick 'haunted' in the title, make up a creepy story for the description and I'll be minted. What a load of old shite!

'Haunted vessel collector'! That's so going in the Hobbies and Interests section of my next CV!

What the fuck is a vessel?

A vessel is an object that the spirit hangs out in, for reasons unknown.

Oh, the pennys dropped. I reckon I already have a spirit vessel. My house often has dodgy smells, mysteriously broken things and inexplicibly upset children. Now just to find out which doll is the culprit and I'll be quids in too.

OP- are you a weirdo?

How on earth odd you find this listing?

What were you looking for?

Ok, was terrified after reading that description, convinced I would be having nightmares!
Luckily all your responses have considerably lightened my mood!
And agree, never been more amused to read 'from a smoke free home' - Brilliant!!

Wish I could un-read that description [scared emoticon].

I honestly don't know why, but I put haunted into eBay (bored nights once kids are asleep) and it automatically added doll and I thought "ooooh let's have a look at this" I never imagined it was going to be THAT

So to answer your question, yes I am a weirdo ha

No thanks, it looks way too pissed off for me

Smoke free home - hilarious!! And what a crock of shit.

Did anyone notice that some of them ate pictured with a paranormal activity detector, to prove how active they are?

I checked the feedback of one seller who specializes in vintage haunted vessels, and sh writes "thank you for adopting a spirit and giving it a good home"

There's 40 per hour viewing Samson! Bet they are all from MN

Thankyou Sonjadog

Just perused some of the sellers' feedback, there are actual people out there who actually want these things.

"Thank you for Rae, I'm slowly making a bond with her...she whistles a lot!"

"My cats love her, too!"

and my personal favourite:

"She is beautiful doll

Argh, dd hit the post button too soon...

Anyway, my personal favourite:

"She is a beautiful doll, but a silent one." Yeah, no shit.

The reason I am starting the price at £888 is because it is very important he goes to the right person who takes him seriously.

Yeah, course it is. Funny how the 'right person' needs to have the best part of a grand to spare

It reminds me of the film the conjuring, just in time for the new film annabel coming out.

What a pile of shite but how sick would you have to be to buy it thinking the spirit of a poor murdered boy was inside.

Fucking tapped

This post if so funnny- making a dull Saturday overtime desk job very entertaining!!

Saw lots of porcelain dolls at the car boot sale. We told the seller he was missing a trick and he should be selling them on eBay and sticking the word haunted in front of it.

Dammit I didn't mention to him that he MUST say it's from a smoke free home. a key point!
