Ghost for Sale

Found on Ghost-stories.net, a ghost for sale on Ebay.

My Mother the Ghost

If you are the high bidder, in addition to purchasing my mother’s ghost, this is what you will receive:
– A small scrapbook with my mom’s story in it. It will include photos of my mom as a child; in her 20’s; at her wedding; a photo taken on her last birthday in 2001 (four generations: my grandmother, my mom, me and my daughter); photos of the TVs and light fixture that she haunts; and a photo of her cemetery headstone. (She is buried at the cemetery surrounding a world-famous wedding chapel, Duncan Memorial Chapel in Floydsburg, Kentucky.) The chapel is clearly visible behind her grave.
– Her eternity band that she wore with her engagement ring and wedding band. It is 18K white gold and has an intricate floral pattern, no stones. We believe Mom’s ghost will go with the ring.
– A that this story is true, signed by me, my husband and my children.
Please help! Thank you in advance for taking good care of Mom's ghost.

The ideal gift for the fortean in your life.

Michael Pennington (Deceased)

I recently came across a forum post about a 'ghost' called Michael Pennington who appeared to haunt the local forums of Birminghamuk.com, which was then adapted into a book.

Find out more here - Michael Pennington at Birminghamuk.com. There is a caution on the site that, whatever we believe, we should treat this story as fiction - I don't know if that's meant to stop us getting scared or to stop them getting sued!

I think most of the original forum posts have now disappeared (I did a search on the Birminghamuk forums), but it there is still some discussion of it on there...

Check out the Amazon link on there too for one of the worst book reviews you'll ever read.

Electronic Ghosts

I don't know what to make of this, but it piques my fortean interest;

From Animated Trigger;

"I’ve heard about these “ghosts,” coded information sent through an electronic source that can turn into a physical apparition. The science behind it is baffling, and I wish I had never even tried to figure them out, because the more I read, the more I saw, the less sense it made. Some say the government made them, some say it’s extraterrestrials, and some say it’s the Illuminati. The most interesting idea was that they’re people who were struck by lightning and killed, literal ghosts."

One Hacker's Paranioa

It sounds like a sci-fi idea to me, but I wonder if anyone else has heard anything similar?
