Fla. Man Selling Ghosts

ST. JOHNS COUNTY, Fla. -- A St. Augustine man is selling containers filled with what he describes as ghosts.

John Deese said he has ghosts trapped in bottles.

“This was actually the first one that was caught, in Decatur County, Ga., in an old farmhouse,” Desse said, showing off one ghost in a bottle.

While Deese said he contracts with professional ghost catchers around the country and that it’s the ghost catchers who actually stuff the phantasms into a bottle, he wouldn’t elaborate on exactly how the ghosts get into the bottles.

“Well, if you went to KFC, you wouldn't ask for secret recipe,” Deese said. “They’ll go in and catch them from haunted establishments, cars, hotels, maybe even graveyards.”

The only ghost you will see is that of your money trying to get back into your wallet where it belongs.

2. They'd be good for halloween gift baskets

Although i'd rather just a bottle of real 'spirits' like rum :)

[saltpoint]

3. LOL!

13. Then, you better heed the website's warning.

According the website

NOTE: WE CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY MISFORTUNE TO BEFALL YOU SHOULD YOU TAKE POSSESSION OF THIS OBJECT.


# It is not recommended that you break or open the bottle.
# The intent of this product is for entertainment purposes only. We have had several customers open or break the bottle and contact us stating that unexplained things have occured in their homes and how could this activity be stopped?!

I have a feeling that, if you break open that bottle of spirits in your possession, you might end up with some unexplained occurrences in your own home too.


:toast:

:rofl:

4. Anyone gullible enough to

buy one of bottles, thinking they're getting a ghost in it, deserves getting ripped off.

6. P.T Barnum,

proved right once again, LOL.

[Muttocracy]

9. and probably shouldn't be allowed to vote IMHO. nt

[Donnachaidh]

18. It's the same crowd that buy the holy water bags from PTL TV

"Lookie here Maude -- I jest bought me a GIN-U-WINE Confederate Ghost! Caught at the battlefield site on RedTop Mountain! Yee-Haw!"

:rofl:

[teacher gal]

41. I think this is hilarious!

Say, I've been needing to make a little extra on the side......

He needs to start capturing the ghosts of "famous" people - that would certainly increase sales.

[htuttle]

5. Alright. I'll bite.

Why would I want a ghost in a bottle?

[Regret My New Name]

28. Same reason why you would want a little ship in a bottle...

...it allows you to fly.

[timtom]

37. Are you serious???

Why WOULDN'T you?

Me and the little woman, we bought a couple a few weeks ago and our house has been magically transformed. She's outside right now, un-transforming those damn weeds.

[NightWatcher]

7. hell, if he can do it, I'll start selling Lincoln sculptures again for 20$

[trusty elf]

39. $6.66 for this handsome depiction of our Commander-in-Chief (2 for $9.11)

[juno jones]

8. This sounds like something from Tim Powers books

"Expiration Date" and "Earthquake Weather". Except people were bottling ghosts and consuming them for a kind of 'high' (among other things).

Great spooky/sci fi reading.

[Redneck Socialist]

16. I just discovered Tim Powers

I'm reading Last Call now. He's really, really good.

[juno jones]

19. Last Call is my fave

Enjoy! ;)

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

10. Who ya gonna call?

[GaYellowDawg]

40. Suddenly I hear Ray Parker Jr. nm

11. You can buy spirits in a bottle at the supermarket.

In the beer, wine and liquor section.

[Zhade]

25. DUzy!

NT!

[Dr.Phool]

12. Don't laugh. I saw one that escaped and ran for Senate in Florida in 2006.

They've even got a movie with it on HBO tonight.

One thing about them ghosts. They ain't any brighter than the people that buy them.

[mitchum]

14. At least he isn't dodging taxes like many other traffickers in the supernatural

[dixiegrrrrl]

15. I want the ghost of Jim Croce

seems appropriate...

[Elwood P Dowd]

21. Time In A Bottle

[BlueJazz]

17. The main problem with this seller is: How do we know that the bottles...

...contain Real Ghosts and not those phony artificial ones ??

[texanwitch]

20. Well, why didn't I think of that.

Do you get to pick out your ghost or do you have to take what you get.

[LucyParsons]

22. That is sooo 19th Century

nt

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

23. That is so frigging mean of him! Ghosties have feelings too!!!!

[SidDithers]

24. ROFL..

Suckers easily separated from their money.

Serves 'em right.

Sid

[Zhade]

26. It is so frustrating that in this day and age, there are people who believe in such nonsense...

...let alone shell out hard-earned money to support their delusions.

[spinbaby]

27. That's a very clever idea

I'm going to make my own "ghost in a bottle" --an old bottle, a cork, some sealing wax, and a neat label--as Halloween presents.

[Godhumor]

29. Great! I'll put it next to my Prince Albert in a can!

What?

[IamyourTVandIownyou]

30. Speaking of KFC, Google "Rachel, Nevada" in Google Earth

Not much for their food, but cool move by KFC, if you have never tried it.

Rachel is home to Area 51 and probably gets searched alot.

[galledgoblin]

31. cool, a genie!

*shakes bottle*

[Jack Rabbit]

32. Whatever happened to good, old-fashioned snake oil?

Con men just ain't what they used to be.

[trof]

34. Teflon snakes killed the market.

[Buns_of_Fire]

33. Well, people bought "Pet Rocks," right?

[Marrah_G]

35. Omg- best gift idea ever! hahahahahah- genius!

I wish I had thought of that ..... dammit.

[TZ]

36. The only problem is this gift is totally incompatible

with a pet rock!!!!:rofl:

[timtom]

38. When he has one for sale labeled

"George Bush" he'll have my attention.
