Haunted Items on Ebay

It is amazing what you can find on Ebay these days.

In fact, do a search for the word "haunted" and you come up with almost 8,800 items.

At first I thought "cool - haunted sh!t for sale on Ebay" but I quickly became disappointed to see all the weight loss items.  Sure they may be "haunted" but I want something truly scary.

Then I came across this article on BoingBoing which speaks of haunted dolls for sale on Ebay.

Sure enough you can find 156 "haunted" dolls.  Some of the most intriguing, however, belong to the vendor calling themselves "a blessing in disguise".  S/he has 18 dolls for sale which look legitimately haunted by spirits.  At least that's what the vendor claims.

Is it possible that these spirits moved themselves into the dolls after they passed? Sure I guess anything is possible.  Is it something you can prove?  I don't know.  But again it is possible.

Now these might be a scam, but they could be legitimate.

Could you imagine having one of these possessed dolls in your bedroom watching you at night?

Just think about that for a minute...

As you think about it, here's the story of these 2 dolls:

Their names are Zeke and Aven. Zeke was 43 when he passed away, Aven was 9.  They weren't related but fell upon hard times, Zeke losing everything after trying to pay hospital bills racked up trying to fight his wife's cancer, while Aven ended up homeless after his parents left him.  They died together when a drunk drive smashed into a bench they were both sitting on.

The vendor claims to have made recordings of the dolls talking to each other when she's not around.  S/he goes on to say:  " I have also recorded them with my night vision video camera. The shots and recordings I have gotten were amazing! I never knew that these dolls were as active as they were. On many of the recordings I have heard them talking among each other, laughing, crying, yelling, some where easy to make out, some were very hard, and some I couldnt make out at all."
