" Haunted item on ebay "

Doesn't that explain enough?

It is hard for me to grasp that people actually believe these things, and many do.People buy them.......

I think it should be illegal myself.

There was a attempt at a scam here with a haunted item, luckily the OP trusted me thinking I would be dis-honest, and he was reported, and found out.

I was offered up to $5000.00 to help with the scam, he had all ready had offers of $1,000.00, and he figured with a story on a popular paranormal site, with a resident skeptic seeing it to be true ( sent to me in mail, etc. ) the price would go up....

There were a lot of members here that believed him, and actually were mad at me for being so " harsh " with him in the topic.....

It bothers me to see any type of lying and fraud, especially using the " paranormal " community as prey.......It is a easier target un-fortunatley, and is one of the reasons I try to help show facts in topics here, and in the real life world.


If something is claimed to be haunted / paranormal, please consider the reality of this and research, research, research......If there is a price tag on it, I 100% guarantee it is a scam.


cough, cough....Psychics also

I actually have some "haunted" items.
I get mine via private sales thru collectors of such.
Estate liquidations down in New Orleans ,and so  forth.
A have a couple of items that have done some very funky things

A few were pricey, but nothing up near 5000$,or even 3000$.

I bought some for their histories,some because they were interesting,and some because they were just kind of cool.

None we dolls .
At least 2 are kind of scary,and I was afraid to have one in the house at first,because of its alleged history.

They're the ones that occasionally,"do" things.
I also have a couple of rings that do some interesting stuff.

These things exisit,but they are far more rare than haunted items on eBay.
Buyer beware .

Take no offense on this......

You are stating things that I have seen the " sellers " claim myself.........

Maybe you are just justifying to yourself that they are Haunted and you did not waste your money, because you did if the price was set for that.

If I buy say a vacuum cleaner, and it is guaranteed to pick up pet hair......It better, and it better be able to show me this without a shadow of a doubt before I purchase it.Or, I better have it in writing my money will be refunded if not working as advertised.


Sorry, I spent quite a while looking into quite a few " haunted " items on ebay, and other sites after the fiasco here   http://www.unexplain...pic=189044&st=0

Every one of them are scams.

You are being scammed, or you are selling them.

Claiming your items are haunted, sorry man, " show me it picks up pet hair ".........I do not believe it at all, and I can say it is not true.

Not5 one even close to authenticated/ proven  " haunted " item of any kind anywhere........Frauds and scams, yes, verified ones, numerous.

If you are going to make claims like that here, be careful.....Someone might ask you to back those claims up



Haunted Items are a scam, a way to make money on junk, and the victims are just ignorant.......Sharks feeding on a bait ball......Pull out of that ball and go do some research


As for your post, I think it actually helps out these fraudsters a bit, and that is sad. ( only to people not looking into this beyond paranormal sites )



I actually wish people would write Ebay and let them know they should not be selling crap like this.....

No,I have contacts via certain auction houses,and friends down in new Orleans,who know the estate liquidators.

When it happens,we all get involved,because the deceased items are up for grabs,and most have been used in magical rituals.
I am a voodoo practitioner ...hello.

Most of my stuff belonged to voodoo people, that have passed on.
I dont buy off eBay .
I have items from an old Bon temple in Tibet.
Have a clue before you insult .

And like I said,a few have done some weird stuff,in front of me.
Im not going by any sellers description.
One item I have was used around dead bodies,and one is a real Tibetan kapala.
900 years old.
I've had it verified .

So yah,it was a bit scary at first . I kept expecting it to do something.
Your insinuations and insults are without cause .

I was and am not insulting you, or throwing any insinuations without cause.....Or with it for that matter.

I was just replying on how I feel about " haunted items ", especially on ebay, or being sold labeled such.

If you take offense to how I feel about that, that is your issue.It was nothing against you personally.

I think it is great that you have a hobby, and that you enjoy it, nothing wrong with that at all.


Again, the way I feel about any certain topic is not necessarily the way I feel about a individual.If it was, I would state that, not sugar coat it.

My grandpa was on that job as chief tea maker.

Back to the painting...
It's just a "haunting" image, same as "the scream" with a BS horror story for the gullible.  But, who on earth would hang that in their home?  Goths?
Also, some folk have more money than sense, imo.
