Yep I saw a painting on ebay that was "haunted" some time ago, and more recently a "doll possessed by satan".

The former actually did look creepy, but the latter was just a junky toy - the guy had taken photos after putting a toy satan over the doll's soldier, then said the satan toy wasn't there originally lol

Yea...the guy who 'bought' it only has negative feedback from the people who he refused to pay... I doubt he's serious about buying it.

Anyway, about the photo with the people in it, it really just looks like the negative was double-exposed. Trust me, this is easy enough to do, intentionally or by accident. Cheap cameras sometimes can get stuck a little, catching half a previous picture in your photo's negative, or two entirely separate negatives may be intentionally overlapped during the developing process...or even simpler, using those pull-out polaroid cameras (like the izone, I think it's called), simply take a pic, turn the camera off and on again, take another, and pull it out. Presto-changeo, phantom photo.

Maybe I'm just too much of a skeptic, but the whole thing reeks of "Blair Witchiness" to me.

I'm in total agreement about the double exposure...due to the ease of double exposing a negative, I have a marvelous picture of my tenth-grade latin teacher sitting at his desk...in a church with stained glass behind him and a rather angelic looking holy glow.:lol:

Considering the last "winner" had a -2 rating, I'm not surprised.

Edit: No, wait, nevermind. . . it's the same auction. Just one link had the category number on it, and one didn't. :) Look at the two links, the item numbers are identical.

did you see the auction for a guy to come and beat you up if you won? whoever won the auction had to agree to pay travel expenses and not take legal actions against the guy or fight back.

It seems I heard something a while back about the man who put his family on Ebay for like $5 million or something lol.

What are these people (not?) thinking?

What I can't believe is the pristene condition of the paint and wax on those old jars. If the wood from the chest was so rotted out, why wasn't the paint and wax in terrible condition if there at all?

Can you say "HOAX"?

Check out this page:

All kinds of crazy ebay auctions. I'm just sad I missed out on owning someone's soul for ten bucks. You never know when a spare one will come in handy.
