One of them would be why I'm posting this.
While browsing the web, I came across a story about "The ghost in the Jar" which was sold on ebay. I beleive this was probably a hoax...to some extent. The seller wrote this;

Ghost In A Jar! No Joke Serious Inquiry Only

Started on May 26, 2003, ended on June 5, 2033

I don't have enough space here to tell the complete story behind this, so I will briefly go over it. Back in the early 1980's, while out metal detecting, I came across and old abandoned cemetery with the foundation of a homesite or Church or something nearby. While searching around the foundation, my detector indicated there was something in the ground close by the southwest corner of the foundation. After digging down about 2 feet my shovel struck a wooden box that had nearly rotted out. The metal hinges and hasp were about all that was left of it. I thought I had discovered a fortune! Boy, did that ever turn out to be wrong!! There were 2 jars and an old journal in the box. The jars had some strange writing and symbols on them. While getting the jars out of the ground, I dropped one and it broke. A black mist or something seeped out of it. I should have known something was wrong right then and covered the find back up but being young and foolish I didn't. I left the broken jar with what looked like a candle in it there where it fell and took the other one (see the pictures) and the old journal home. What I was able to read in the journal before the pages crumbled made the hair on the back of my neck stand up! That night, I had my first visit from what I can only describe as "The Black Thing". While lying in bed, this "thing" fell on me and it felt like I was being pushed down thru the bed and the floor, into a pit if you will! I struggled with it and managed to somehow escape its clutches. Since that time, I have been attacked twice more and both times the unopened jar was in the close vicinity. I and others have caught fleeting glimpses of a black shadowy thing out of the corners of our eyes as it would pass from one room to another. I finally talked to someone who is versed in these things and was told that the only way to rid myself of this thing was to pass the unopened jar on to someone else. Therefore, I am offering to you, if you dare, the "Ghost in the Jar". With it I am sure you will be getting the "Black Thing" also. If you are brave enough to want this, bid to your hearts desire! I am going to start the bidding at 99.00 and put a rather high reserve on it so only those with a real desire and want to will be able to purchase it! What you will recieve for your money is the jar pictured along with some of the original black and white photos depicted here and others. You will also recieve a complete written version of everything from the original finding of the jars and to the best of my recollection what was contained in the old journal. I will also tell you what I was able to find out about this from the person who told me to pass it on. Be advised that once you buy this it is yours and I will have nothing ever again to do with it! ALL SALES ARE FINAL! You must contact me within 24 hours of the close of the sale to make payment arrangements and to arrange for delivery which the buyer is liable for. This can NOT be shipped thru the Post Office. Either UPS or pay me to deliver it! Payment must be made within 7 days of the close of the auction. P.S. As to the photos running with this, please note the one with the what looks like figures in them at the cemetery. I discovered this after turning them in to be processed. I WAS ALONE AT THE CEMETERY THAT DAY! This too will be gone over in the written "Diary" which comes with the purchase. Remember, DON'T bid unless you are seriously wanting to own this as I WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS ONCE THE TRANSACTION IS COMPLETE!

~*~

One reason I beleive it to be a hoax is, how the heck can it end in 2033!?!? That's either very far-fetched or a typo, but that is what I got from the site I found the info on. Also it seems a little to...I don't know the word. It's like he advertised it to much. I would not want to tell someone, "Hey, I'm selling a ghost in a bottle. Wanna buy it?" I'd say something maybe a little more believable, however he did get a lot of money for this. He ended up selling it for $50,922.00 to an unregistered ebay user. Pretty ridiculous, no? ((Curse my bad spelling. ))

Well, I thought this was pretty interesting...what do y'all think? Was there a spirit that he unleashed when he dropped the jar? Or was he just trying to get money and attention?

BTW, anyone even know if this is true? I really never heard of it before now...

Ps. Sorry if this was posted before.

Cya!

Did micheal jackson buy it?

You know what really stinks! Several years ago I made a joke about selling a ghost in a jar as a gag gift on ebay. I never really took it as a serious idea but then when this came out and sold i kicked myself. Just to show you that when you get an idea run with it.

The story is true i used to have a screen shot of it but it was lost with my old computer. There is no way to trap a ghost in a gar. Spirits can be attached to items but it was most likely a hoax.

Lucky man.. made $50,922.00 selling a jar. If only I could make money that easy:(

I gotta start using ebay more often.

I remember coming across this on ebay back in the day. I couldn't believe that dude made so much money on that thing

New Update:

Man sells "Fart In A Jar" on ebay for €500.

If a guy can sell a fart in a jar for 500 euro and a guy can sell a ghost in a jar for 50g, I wonder what can get for a shelacked turd...

If it's a Bigfoot turd, you're gonna be rich.

I am a big guy...does that count?

Hahaha! Only if you can pass it off as a Bigfoot turd. You may get some negative feedback from e-bay though.

Naw...Prolly too much trouble to be worth it.

wow intersting poor ghost.

P you feel ok!

Lol lol !! uh huh
Well the thing is i wouldn’t want to be in that jar! It sounds sort of strange but also believable. I just think its crazy how someone would pay so much money for a jar supposedly containing a ghost. It sounds sort of exorcist / Constantine familiar with digging it up, but yes its interesting.

A friend of mine had an old mug that would sing and hum like a tuning fork randomly without warning. One evening when he was swearing at the tv jokingly mocking some show of some sort bi**hing about nothing being on etc the cup made a loud ack noise and blew up where it sat on his coffee table. Bits of shattered mug sparyed on him scaring the sh** out of him and he binned the debri.
Dont know if it was haunted but he aint the kind of guy to rant c**p either which is why i found the story kinda strange and interesting.

With my collection of jars...i could be rich...BWA HA HA HA.

ROFLMAO....Seriously thats is hillarious! When I read that I choked on my coffee!

Anyway back on the topic...That guy who sold the jar made him self a small fortune out of some gulible idiot...Good on him I suppose....

Thats it I'm selling miniture, invisible chupacabra in a jar...Anyone interested?

hey animangabloodthorn,
great story.i wonder if the guy was p.t.barnum's grandson,because like he said "there's a sucker born every minute".sorry i can't write more but i'm putting 3 ghosts in old mayonnaise jars right now and running them on ebay.i'm not sure whether to sell them as a set of "triplet ghosts"or maybe i could make more by listing them as the "ghostly trio"from the casper cartoon series.

I seriously doubt that guy collected any of the 50k people put BS up all the time drawing rediculous amounts in bid.

oh.. and listen to the latest sh**....

a page (i forgot the link to it and i cant be bothered looking for it again) sells what according to them are.. GOOD ghosts in jars. at 29.99 you will get a pic of a "good" dead person with "his/her" story on it, according with that people, it contains some good energy and will bring you gfood luck in love for example.





the things man plays with for money....

There are tons of supposedly "haunted" things sold on ebay everyday. Jewelry, dolls, teddy bears, you name it. If you can come up with an excellent story, you could sell just about anything as "haunted". The amazing thing is that there are people out there stupid enough to buy the crap.

Ghosts are free.

Stupid E-bay!

Somebody sold a half eaten sandwich on Ebay for $50 one time... Kind of sad and pathetic though, but how I love guillible/idoitic people, like that.

I have Sir Francis Drake's haunted codpiece. Bidding starts at $999,999.99.

look at this loser he says i was real proud of

It's a scam. I only have 4 words for that. The scammer got scamed. Anyone can get in ebay, go under a false name, and not have to pay for a stupid "Ghost in a Jar."

Of course it's a scam. There's no such things as ghosts!

$50,922.00 for a fake ghost in a jar. I wonder how much I can get for my
jar of Jersey Devil urine?

Robert1, good idea. Maybe I should go on ebay and sell my "Pixie Poo in a jar"! I could probably get a grand for it. What do ya think?

You never know. Give it a try and see what happens.

Interesting... Here's something that doe not make sense to me. The seller said he found 2 jars in a box. He already identifies the details of the rotting box meaning he already lifted it out. So why would he break one of the jars taking it out of the ground if he already lifted the box out of the ground. Also, if the shovel did not break the box, why would the soft dirt break the jar. Maybe rocks, and that a maybe!

Oh, I didn't catch that. Good work.

For some time I've been thinking about what could I sell on E-Bay and I have absolutely no experience with anything on E-Bay, but after hearing some of the things being sold on E-Bay I of course asked myself if I could sell my aol Journal on E-Bay.

One of the Guides who was a Lawyer when he walked the earth, said no when you signed on there you agreed that everything you write there belongs to aol.

On the flip side he said when I signed on to Unplained Mysteries it says that everything on there belongs to the writer.

Just thought I would mention that.

I said well if I can't sell my Journal, perhaps I could sell all the boxes of dated and timed notes that I have gathered as a psychic since l985.

One of the things I thought about is not only do I have the information, dated and timed which deals with many things there is also the various handwritings that belong to all the Spirits who have written through me and each handwriting is different and i think that could go a long way towards proving the various spirits are working through me if a Handwriting Expert studied them and see that the handwriting apparently was written by different people and or spirits as the case is here.
What do you think?

Why in the world would you want to sell your 'life's work' and your 'proof' that spirits exist?? If anything you should donate it to a known parapsychology group, not sell it to a casino or to the highest bidder.

Dont forget to use your back-pack (if theres more than 1 of you don't cross the beams and dont shoot the jar) or if you've got them already stocked just unleash some from the containment unit (make sure the jar is fairly tight around the CU's exit you dont want the pesky buggers escaping now do we)

Your lawyer guide is wrong i think Rosemary, Copyright goes straight to the creator as soon as whatever is created starts, be it a song (lyrics+ music) poem, photo, journal, book, and kind of writing...... just as long as you go through the right channels to get your copyright before putting anything out.....You may not be able to physicaly sell the AOL journal in its orginal state ie as it appears now with the domain etc. Aol will own the domain and provide the hosting for your jouranl that is all. They do not own the actual writen content in the journal, that is yours.....

Nothing to stop you copy and pasting each journal entry and saving it in a document like wordpad or something and printing them out........


Anyway this whole ghost in a jar thing is just a laod of nonsense, it is like trying to sell Scottish fresh highland air in a bottle.

She was probably talking to a lawyer guide inside her along with Dr. P and Stergio and got some bad advice because he couldn't be bothered to listen properly what with all the coupon sorting and toilet fixing going on in there.

You're right. He is a loser. What's sadder still is that there is someone out there
who is going to buy it.

I have contacted many paranormal groups but so far no one has responded.
But I think you are right many things could be learned from this.

rofl, i always go look at those ebay auctions when im bored. quite pathetic really.

Publish it yourself.

Goes to show you that some people will buy ANYTHING

There certianly folks out there with money making up for thier lack of sense, tho I've yet to find my money to make up my lack of sense I'd have to be a billionaire to compensate it

Oh I'm sure you've been through allot Rosemary, I'm also assured that most of what you said is accurate, and true, I believe you now Rosemary, I was ignorant to think you were a lying internet fraud, making up stories and saying things just for the sake of making an appearance to others, I was wrong in thinking that you come on here for the attention and fame of being a celebrity amongst the boards, I was also wrong in thinking that when you are proven wrong or you regret doing something after it's been said and you go and blame it on the spirits, whom are actually possessing you as we speak, I'm also close minded and ignorant to think that I of all people should question your comments, and for so wrongly accusing you of running off because you have nothing to defend your claims in the opposition against them.

Rosemary, please forgive me, I'm such an ignoramius.

I do a lot of "haunted browsing" on eBay. Just type in "haunted" and you get all sorts of great things. I did once buy a "haunted" rosary, but I collect them, and I figured it would be an interesting piece to my collection, whether or not it was haunted. I also got a "haunted" teapot, but only because it was shaped like a cat with a raised paw, and since it was the only one like it that I had found, was worth it, haunted or not.

But my two very favorite haunted things were the pants that were haunted by the seller's father, and a haunted green glass candy dish. According to the seller, you put the candy dish next to your bed, and you'll be guaranteed fantastic orgasms.

I briefly pondered it, but as I wasn't getting any at all at the time, figured it should go to someone else.

yes...yes i remember this one well. i think i laughed for an hour. now for some other haunted items.

Ace-

Over the past 20 years I have sent out more than 13 manuscripts addressed to various publishers and insured, and many times with return delivery requested and they all disappeared without a trace.

I believe some of it was because the pages included the story behind the Assassination of President Kennedy, his brother Senator Robert f. Kennedy and Teamster Jimmy Hoffa and yes they are all alive in the Spirit World and everyone is happy to work through even a lolely unimportant person such as I because its very difficult from where they are to find a Secretary to tell their story through.

I have of course channelled for some less notable people, because when I gather information from the World beyond I don't discriminate and I even let those work through me who were important in the World and those who no one believes are speaking through me.

I even let the cats I have known come in and I write about them, because their Spirits are alive up there and who knows sometime in the future I might return as a Cat or a Bird much like the Indians and some other nationalities believe when they believe this way.

As for Self Publishing that can be quite costly so I first decided to take the normal publishing route, then when everything disappeared I decided to write into a Journal and then one of the Guides said go on Unexplained Mysteries because the things you are writing about should fit that category.

I wanted to make a comment here about another subject on the Forum.

There was a woman on here writing about believing she had an Evil Spirit Problem and yesterday one of the Moderators came on and said that woman and I are the same and that the other womans account has been closed, and I want to say that woman and I are not the same, but I don't personally know how to check all these things out because I am not all that good on a Computer yet.

About all I can do is log on to a couple of forums like this, check my E-Mail and write in my Journal and not much else.

The Moderator sent me an PM saying this and I sent her one back trying to clear this up so hopefully that poor woman isn't blocked out of this Forum because someone believes she is me that wouldn't be fair to her.

Wanna buy my automatic writing? US$ .5 million

Some of what she claims may be true, however her stunt pulled yesterday logged in as both rosemary and katy just threw me completely and gives the impression shes just here for attention. I could well be wrong and one of her ghosts may have been controlling her alternative login so I apologise too for also being an ignoramius, but shes not making it easy for us to think otherwise. If she is interested in selling her manuscripts then she should keep trying and to publishers both recognised and unfamiliar if shes seriously wishing to publish her work, it will be published.

Righto, getting back on topic
