Irish Ghost in a Bottle
image If you hurry, you still have time to bid on the latest eBay sensation: a genuine Irish Ghost in a bottle (as opposed to a fake Irish ghost in a bottle). When I saw this, it immediately conjured up fond memories for me of the original Ghost in a Jar, but this new item seems to have a far longer pedigree than the Ghost in a Jar did. It is said to contain the ghost of a rogue 19th century landlord who took his own life after getting a young girl pregnant. And this is the best part of all: it's caught the attention of Michael Jackson, who reportedly is bidding on it. The price is already up to £1,550. It'll be interesting to see how much it ends up selling for.

How can you tell a fake ghost in a bottle from a genuine one?

If you're appropriately medicated, the difference becomes obvious.

The price dropped! How??

Right now, the price posted is only 225 pounds. Maybe an earlier bid wasn't legit.
That's still a lot to pay for a bottle with a piece of paper stuffed in the neck.
... If you did own a ghost in a bottle, what could you do with it?
As somebody was saying the other day, at least if you had Britney Spear's underpants you could wear them ...
