Ghost In A Jar

Current bid - US $15,099.00 (reserve met)

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!

Ooops.  Ninety-per cent of this man's credibility
just drifted out the window.  The other five per
cent seems to be worth fifty thousand dollars to
an eBay bidder.  Superstition is its own reward.

This can NOT be shipped thru the Post Office

This is what the seller posted on e-Bay. If this IS shipped through the mail this guy is guilty of committing the federal offense of mail fraud which can carry significant jail time.

SCAM scam scam scam scam scam scam, and there's a sucker born every second....

Weird. The seller's rating is very high. 123 all positive (1 neutral) buyer's responses. Apparently whatever he/she has sold in the past was well received by the buyers.

I might pay $50,000,000.00 for the giant marshmellow man, but for a ghost, forget about it.

My grandmother KNEW there were ghosts. She lived in a house that was built around 1880 (it's still standing and in good shape) and heard and saw ghosts in it often. For some reason, the ghosts were afraid of me and never showed up when I was there (I lived with her for 3 months).

[Blood of Tyrants]

One word.

MOVE!

I wonder if it came from Stull, Kansas,^ home of one of the seven gates to hell.

"I was too scared to look ;) Wife thinks our house is haunted. Some really really weird stuff going on, she found this while researching ghosts."

I've lived in a haunted house before. If you are ever thinking of selling your house don't tell anyone about it because if you don't tell the new owners and they find out you knew they can make you take the house back ;-) I was never afraid of what was in our house but it sure scared my sister, brother, and cousin. My sis and cousin wouldn't be alone in the house and my brother woke up one night with his bed shaking. It only scared me one time because I heard him and thought there was an actual intruder in the house and was ready with a kitchen knife. Just the old man though. (my sis saw his face once)

"My nephew had an "entity" come down some stairs and sit at the foot of his bed and stare at him - while visiting his fiance's home in New York. In that home a man had been murdered. I have no doubt of my nephew's story being legit or your wife's concerns about your home. Best advice - MOVE! "

The man who had lived before us in the haunted house we were in had been murdered on his way home from out of town. His wife was home waiting for him. I had an aunt too with a ghost in her home. She thought it was so cool and would leave it actual presents and such.. not sure what happened but she ended up sleeping in her car at night in fear for her life and finally moved out of the house.

"One last interesting note - about 9 months ago they were both in california visiting her folks and I took some pics in the house (I was testing my tripod and using the last of a roll of film, and I was going to send her mom the pics). I did not notice anything weird at the time but later when I took it into photoshop to sharpen for an upload I could see the outline of a kid on the bed "

Now you have to show us the pic :)

Have you ever though of getting a cat? or do you have one? The Egyptians believe that cat's were keepers of the dead and I know cats I've had have always sense stuff like this. Maybe it could scare whatever it is away.

[honeygrl]

"Egyptians believe "

That should've read believeD! sorry.. not the current egyptians, the ooold ones

[chance33_98]

I heard one of them is in Ohio at Gambier near Kenyon college -At least, that is what people told me when I lived there :)

[chance33_98]

I will see if I can find it, pretty sure I have it on the computer somewhere, if not will scan it in - I have over 6000 photos though so it may take a few min to find it :)

[chance33_98]

We can't have pets here, but we do get a lot of cats which come up to our back porch and sometimes are able to sneak into the house.

Oh my. The good news is that you are only renting. Thanks for the info re: the day your grandmother died. Many who are apart from loved ones on the day they die experience some kind of "knowing" that it has happened. But as a child - I am sure this was how her passing was being communicated to you. Also understand about missing wonderful grandparents!!!!
