Two vials said to contain the spirits of ghosts exorcised from a house in New Zealand have been put up for sale on an online auction site.

Entitled 'Two Captured Ghosts', the lot had reached a top price of nearly £200 on TradeMe, New Zealand's equivalent of eBay. The seller claims the spirits were captured by an exorcist from a spiritual church at a property in Christchurch. One is believed to be the ghost of a man called Les Graham who died in the house in the 1920s.

"The exorcist believes this spirit likes to make himself known and spook people. but he is not a very strong spirit," explained the seller. "The other spirit came from when me and my partner stupidly did an Oujia Board. We believe it is a little girl who likes to move things and turn things on and off. Exorcist says she is very strong and if left will get stronger.

"We have had no (paranormal) activity since they were bottled on July 15, 2009," the seller added. "So I believe they are in the bottles." The auction said the "holy water" in the vials dulled the spirit's energy and put them to sleep. To revive the spirit, the buyer would need to pour the contents into a dish and let it "evaporate into your house''. "I just want to get rid of them as they scare me,'' the seller said.

There are times when the phrase "what a load of cobbler's" just isn't enough!


Of course they're genuine!
