ghosts of two dead people sold for $2,830

[jeff of pa]

The "ghosts" were put up for bidding by Avie Woodbury from the southern city of Christchurch. She said they were captured in her house and stored in glass vials with stoppers and dipped in holy water, which she says "dulls the spirits' energy."

She said they were the spirits of an old man who lived in the house during the 1920s, and a powerful, disruptive little girl who turned up after a session with a spirit-calling Ouija board. Since an exorcism at the property last July led to their capture, there has been no further spooky activity in the house, she said.

The auction attracted more than 214,000 page views and dozens of questions before the winning bid, Trademe auction site spokesman Paul Ford said Tuesday. The name of the Sucker,
"winning bidder" was not released.

Reminds me of something P.T. Barnum used to say...

Man, I wish I could have a brilliant idea like that.

I have a pic of 2 optical alluisions on my property looks like a woman and boy. I wonder how much thay would go for?

 

[GunFarce]

Alluisions would sell for much less than Illusions, because the allusions might not really be there

 

[swampgal]

sorry misspelled Illusions
