Duh, everything on E-Bay’s real, especially the ghosts in the jar.

I think someone is wanting to see what they want to see.

I think someone is wanting to see what they want to see.

And I think that somebody else is seeing what they want to see, too:  dollar signs.

Is it this:  Crucifix Fish ?

These are really common.  It’s not a “miracle”.

(I can’t see any ebay links at work.)

I didn’t see any claim that it was ‘A Miracle”
and they are not as common as you think

The species of fisdh which developed this mystical feature ( scientific name the bagre marinus ) common name - Gafftop Sail Catfish ~  can be caught in ONLY ABOUT 4000 km of coastline in the entire world and since the entire worlds has over 355,000 KM of coastline that is just over 1 percent % WHICH in my book is NOT “REALLY COMMON”  As a matter of fact which is started on the web page found @

In addition the page says they are NOT REALLY RARE when the claim could be made for that in all honesty ~ depending on what you consider Rare/Common

They are not as special as YOU think.  I can walk into any bum shack that sells crap to tourists and find them.

This is also a good link (and not linked to EBAY.)

There are lots of animals that are found only in a single location or area.

Personally, I think it kinda looks like a dead hamster. Go figure.

I used to see these in the gift shops in Florida when I was a kid.  I remember buying a few as souveniers.  I’m sure they were imported from somewhere else though.

Well, I seem to remember this place called “The Carribean” that is nearby…Hmmm…
