Is It Weird Or What?

Last month in New Zealand, two glass vials purportedly containing the ghosts sold for $2,830 ($1,983 U.S.) at an auction. The "ghosts" were put up for bidding by a woman from Christchurch. She said they were captured in her house and stored in glass vials with stoppers and dipped in holy water, which she says "dulls the spirits' energy."

She said they were the spirits of an old man who lived in the house during the 1920s and a powerful, disruptive little girl who turned up after a session with a spirit-calling Ouija board. Since an exorcism at the property last July led to their capture, there has been no further spooky activity in the house.

The auction attracted more than 214,000 page views and dozens of questions before the winning bid.

Okay, first of all, how did they capture the spirits in glass vials and, second, who would want to keep them? Especially if one is a powerful, disruptive spirit. I don't know about you, but if that little girl gets out, she's gonna be pissed...

All I can think is it must be nice to have that kind of money to blow on something so silly.

Exactly! If I had that kind of money to throw around, I wouldn't be buying ghosts with it.
