bottled ghosts
Two glass phials said to contain the ghosts of an old man and a young girl have sold for NZ$2,000 ($1,395:£935) in an online auction in New Zealand.
The top bidder, an electronic cigarette company, said it was looking for ideas on what to do with the ghosts.
The ghost of the old man and the girl had been safely contained in holy water, she said, which “sort of puts them to sleep.”
The lot was viewed nearly 220,000 times in a week and received scores of comments, ranging from practical issues about how to ensure the ghosts remained in the bottles to concerns over the morality of selling another person’s spirit.
“I think they are called Jim Beam and the other is Johnnie Walker,” he said.

Ha, “spirits.” I get it.
I wonder if these ghosts can be held responsible for the scary washing machine.
Which sold for NZ$5,000.
“Selling to pay for my counseling.”
Ha, Deron! That was my favorite line too.
