Another post-modern sign o' the times: Amongst the items available for auctioning on e-bay, recently you can find ghosts! The idea - despite its simplicity - is catchy. You are buying an old stick that is supposedly haunted by an old man's ghost, and by that you are providing peace of mind to his nephew who is so-ooo afraid. This scenario was actually believed and the highest bidder reached up to $30.000 for the stick!
Of course after that, people started selling all kinds of ghosts, ghouls, goblins, haunted mansions, and so on. There was also a case where someone advertised: "Why wait for this grandpa's soul to become a ghost? Pre-order Now!" (The poor old folk was still alive and smiling at the photo!). If these facts don't exceed imagination then what does? I wonder what kind of feedback the sellers receive...
Somebody call the Ghostbusters!

In fact, I think this idea should be copyrighted. Apparently you can make a lot of money by auctioneering souls to the world. I like the idea! ;)
