Spotted this in the news and thought it was really bizarre! Sorry the link is for a DM article but it was also in the headlines on the TV over here in NZ.

Do you think its a complete con or that this poor women actually thinks that there are ghosts trapped in the bottles? Also it is a very kind thing to do to the ghosts - do they have rights?

What about the person who won the items. I understand the auction is under dispute over here at the moment - I think there were some dodgy last minute bids. Are they going to be disappointed when they open the bottles and nothing happens - or even more scary - what if something does happen?

Very wierd story!

They have now sold for $2830 - really wierd -I would love to know who brought them and why.
As you say PandaEis it is such an obvious con!

Reminded me of this; even the price is similar...

Wanna buy a ghost?

lavenderbongo · 09/03/2010 23:00

Kevlarhead - That is really odd and slightly disturbing!

Reminds me of when i went to a museum in Oxford and there was a bottle there which supposedly contained the spirit of a witch.
