So is that how to drive up the price - say something is haunted?
A number of years ago, I saw an article online about allegedly haunted items being sold on eBay.
By making the haunted claim, the item, or items, would sell for a substantial amount of money.
Someone listed a cane on eBay that they claimed belonged to their grandfather. The claim was also made that the cane was haunted. Bottom line: the cane went for many thousands of dollars on eBay.
