"The bottle has black dust in it and is sealed with a page from the Bible," she said.

All's that looks like to me a bottle with a burnt piece of paper stuffed in it....

To be honest, if I had money just to throw around I might bid on it too ;)

oh oh! I want the second or the third one, the second because that's got to be a historic find, I mean PLASTIC!! And the third because I could attach some kind of cord and wear it like a necklace :lol:

I think it's a mean concept. Here you are, peacefully, or not so peacefully dead, minding your own ghostly business, and some putz seals you up in a bottle. And someone SELLS you. It's ghostly slavery, it is.

i wonder if it was common to seal ghosts in bottles? I have never heard of it. i don't think a glass (or plastic) bottle could hold a ghost. i dunno.. maybe i'll look into it.

weird stuff huh?
im just wondering how can one catch a ghost...in a bottle... :whatgives

[Bandia]

Oh, geez...think I could find a pretty bottle and pour in ashes and other creepy stuff and get somebody famous to buy it for loads of $?

"I described it as a genuine Irish ghost in a bottle. We wanted to get somebody who would treat it with respect," she said.

She has not been able to access the eBay on her computer - a clear case of a ghost in the machine.

I think she's missing the point....treating a ghost with respect, I imagine, does not mean referring to it like your brother's cursed pet...nor does it mean selling it on EBay!

I don't think a ghost can be contained in glass. They are not flesh and bone, but are made out of a type of energy, which cannot be contained in something solid. :ghost:

Like everything else connected with Michael Jackson, this is just totally weird!!

[xarimae]

What if she gave you the wrong ghost? Or what if it just didn't like you and starting acting mean? I don't think I'd like a ghost walking around my house...especially one bought from ebay...no telling how many psychological problems it has now!!!
