Ghost in a jar - as seen on eBay!

"First of all let me tell you about how amazing Ghoststudy.com is. it has
everything I've been searching for. now, let me get to my point. you probably
heard of this already, but just now I had just heard on the radio about a man
auctioning a ghost in a jar! on e-bay. I won't talk more but let the mans own journal
do the talking.... these are the words from the original journal:
"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 home site 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! That
night, I had my first visit from what I can only describe as "The Black
Thing". While lying in bed, this "thing" fell on me and it felt
like I was being pushed down thru the bed and the floor, into a pit if you
will! I struggled with it and managed to somehow escape its clutches. Since
that time, I have been attacked twice more and both times the unopened jar was
in the close vicinity. I and others have caught fleeting glimpses of a black
shadowy thing out of the corners of our eyes as it would pass from one room to
another. I finally talked to someone who is versed in these things and was
told that the only way to rid myself of this thing was to pass the unopened
jar on to someone else. Therefore, I am offering to you, if you dare, the
"Ghost in the Jar". With it I am sure you will be getting the
"Black Thing" also. If you are brave enough to want this, bid to
your hearts desire! I am going to start the bidding at 99.00 and put a rather
high reserve on it so only those with a real desire and want to will be able
to purchase it! What you will receive for your money is the jar pictured along
with some of the original black and white photos depicted here and others. You
will also receive a complete written version of everything from the original
finding of the jars and to the best of my recollection what was contained in
the old journal. I will also tell you what I was able to find out about this
from the person who told me to pass it on. Be advised that once you buy this
it is yours and I will have nothing ever again to do with it! ALL SALES ARE
FINAL! You must contact me within 24 hours of the close of the sale to make
payment arrangements and to arrange for delivery which the buyer is liable
for. This can NOT be shipped thru the Post Office. Either UPS or pay me to
deliver it! Payment must be made within 7 days of the close of the auction.
P.S. As to the photos running with this, please note the one with the what
looks like figures in them at the cemetery. I discovered this after turning
them in to be processed. I WAS ALONE AT THE CEMETERY THAT DAY! This too will
be gone over in the written "Diary" which comes with the purchase.
Remember, DON'T bid unless you are seriously wanting to own this as I WILL NOT
BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS ONCE THE TRANSACTION IS
COMPLETE!"
