"This sword is from the 1700s. I got it at an antique store in my memaw's home town back in 1984. The person who sold it to me told me to be careful because there is a 90+% chance that it is cursed. Since it's been in my house my life has descended into pure chaos. My knitting group came over and they all said they could feel a strange energy in my sword room (I have a collection of over 100 swords. This is my only haunted sword). Since i got this sword, about 3 times a week a crucifix will fall off of my wall for no reason. I am 76 years old. I cannot have this cursed item in my house anymore. Please take it off my hands!!"
The woman reminds me of the old woman in hallway in The Shinning.
you might try blessing a tub full of water then tossing it in.
My cat would probably like to use it.
my cat doesn’t need to use a sword. he has super-TALONS!
Ping.
So is that how to drive up the price - say something is haunted?
Definitely looks haunted, you cancan see the ghost holding it.
Pretty clever way to up sell an otherwise un remarkable object.
I don’t cancan, a man my age, six four and two sixty would look too silly flipping a skirt up over his arse. So is there some other way to see this ghost?
Made in China in the 1700’s formerly owned by Eric the Red, and used in the Crusade by king Richard? It sure looks haunted to me. Only $150?? Wow what a deal!
When I was in Germany a guy had a pistol he said was the one used by Hitler to kill himself. I asked how much, he said; “400DM”, and I told him it was too high, he then told me he would lower the price if I bought 3 of them. What a deal!
Seems legit, especially how that sword is holding that old woman up.
$150 for a huge broad sword from the 1700’s seems like a deal...
“a guy had a pistol he said was the one used by Hitler to kill himself. I asked how much, he said; “400DM”, and I told him it was too high, he then told me he would lower the price if I bought 3 of them.”
Did you tell him make it 4 pistols; and we have a deal?
Sword from the 1700s for 150 bucks? Definitely a replica which is probably worth a little less.
Silly woman, you cannot simply sell a cursed sword once you have wielded it. You must get a cleric to cast “Remove Curse” or “Break Enchantment” first, or you will never be able to get rid of it!
And all three guns were no doubt the genuine article lol.
Also, I have to say, this woman’s posting has caused me to realize how empty my life is without a “sword room”. I must rectify that soon.
What happens if it turns out not to be cursed...can you return it?
