It wasn't until she examined the ornament more closely upon returning home however that the significance of her purchase became apparent.

When she opened it - to her horror - she found what appeared to be human ashes inside it.

After posting her story on Twitter, she now believes that she has been cursed by the object.

"Oh my GOD I just bought this little trinket in a charity shop [because] it made me laugh it said goblin on it (there was a merlin too) and I've just opened it and there's ****ing ASHES INSIDE," she wrote."That's it I'm cursed for life now aren't I."

In all likelihood, the pot had been recovered from a home clear-out and taken to the charity shop to sell on.

Whoever had put it up for sale seemingly hadn't checked inside it first.

Unfortunately Georgina has been unable to return the item because she doesn't live in the area.

"So you need to make finding out who these ashes belong to your life's work now..." one of her followers wrote on Twitter in response to her story.

As things stand, the identity of the previous owner remains a total mystery.
