BOTTLED GHOSTS FOR SALE


Wonders never cease to amaze me. There is this news article in the newspaper and the Internet about a woman named Avie Woodbury who put up two captured ghosts for sale.

Let me fill you in on some of the details below:

Ms Woodbury claimed she was tired of being haunted by two ghosts in her house that she called in an exorcist to get rid of them. According to her, the exorcist trapped the spirits in glass phials of holy water. And those two bottles of holy water with the ghosts inside were put up for sale on internet auction site TradeMe.

Ms Avery said that he holy water in the glass phials dulls the spirits' energy, sort of puts them to sleep, thereby rendering them harmless. She also added that there had been no more hauntings after the ghosts were bottled on on July 15th 2009 .

She said that she wanted to be rid of the ghosts and thought that there would be people out there who would be want to be haunted. She said that one can release and revive the ghosts from the bottle by pouring the holy water into a little dish and let it evaporate into the house. She had labelled the bottles and one is supposed to contain the ghost of a man named Les Graham, who died in her house in the 1920s. the other spirit is that of a little girl.

The two glass phials have sold for NZ$2,000 (US $1,395). All proceeds from the auction would be donated to the Royal New Zealand Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, minus the expenses incurred by the exorcist's visit.

Hey! I have heard that the bomohs (spiritual guides and healers) in Malaysia, would also bottle up ghosts that they have captured. However, I think that the bottles containing the ghosts would be sealed tightly and then thrown into the sea. They would never ever think of using such things for entertainment. For to do so would be courting danger and disaster.
