I
don't have enough space here to tell the complete story behind this, so
I will briefly go over it. Back in the early 1980's, while out metal
detecting, I came across and old abandoned cemetery with the foundation
of a homesite or Church or something nearby. While searching around the
foundation, my detector indicated there was something in the ground
close by the southwest corner of the foundation. After digging down
about 2 feet my shovel struck a wooden box that had nearly rotted out.
The metal hinges and hasp were about all that was left of it. I thought
I had discovered a fortune! Boy, did that ever turn out to be wrong!!
There were 2 jars and an old journal in the box. The jars had some
strange writing and symbols on them. While getting the jars out of the
ground, I dropped one and it broke. A black mist or something seeped
out of it. I should have known something was wrong right then and
covered the find back up but being young and foolish I didn't. I left
the broken jar with what looked like a candle in it there where it fell
and took the other one (see the pictures) and the old journal home.
What I was able to read in the journal before the pages crumbled made
the hair on the back of my neck stand up! That night, I had my first
visit from what I can only describe as "The Black Thing". While lying
in bed, this "thing" fell on me and it felt like I was being pushed
down thru the bed and the floor, into a pit if you will! I struggled
with it and managed to somehow escape its clutches. Since that time, I
have been attacked twice more and both times the unopened jar was in
the close vicinity. I and others have caught fleeting glimpses of a
black shadowy thing out of the corners of our eyes as it would pass
from one room to another. I finally talked to someone who is versed in
these things and was told that the only way to rid myself of this thing
was to pass the unopened jar on to someone else. Therefore, I am
offering to you, if you dare, the "Ghost in the Jar". With it I am sure
you will be getting the "Black Thing" also. If you are brave enough to
want this, bid to your hearts desire! I am going to start the bidding
at 99.00 and put a rather high reserve on it so only those with a real
desire and want to will be able to purchase it! What you will recieve
for your money is the jar pictured along with some of the original
black and white photos depicted here and others. You will also recieve
a complete written version of everything from the original finding of
the jars and to the best of my recollection what was contained in the
old journal. I will also tell you what I was able to find out about
this from the person who told me to pass it on. Be advised that once
you buy this it is yours and I will have nothing ever again to do with
it! ALL SALES ARE FINAL! You must contact me within 24 hours of the
close of the sale to make payment arrangements and to arrange for
delivery which the buyer is liable for. This can NOT be shipped thru
the Post Office. Either UPS or pay me to deliver it! Payment must be
made within 7 days of the close of the auction. P.S. As to the photos
running with this, please note the one with the what looks like figures
in them at the cemetery. I discovered this after turning them in to be
processed. I WAS ALONE AT THE CEMETERY THAT DAY! This too will be gone
over in the written "Diary" which comes with the purchase. Remember,
DON'T bid unless you are seriously wanting to own this as I WILL NOT BE
HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS ONCE THE TRANSACTION IS

Due to the high amount of emails I've recieved concerning this item, I
am going to try to answer some of your questions here. Number 1, No
this is NOT a hoax, it is real. Yes, I have tried re-burying it but it
did not work, it only made "The Black Thing" more active until I dug it
back up. Yes, I COULD either give it away or sell it for a buck or
two....I've had many opportunities over the years to do that very thing
with friends or acquaintices. But, as I said, I want this thing to go
to someone with either a knowledge of these things or to someone who is
into the occult or whatever who might be able to control it or have
some knowledge of what to do with it or do something with it! NOT
someone who just wants to play at it! I feel that the best way to do
this is to set a very high reserve so only someone SERIOUS about it
can "OWN" it. As far as more of the story, the winning bidder will get
the entire story, all the details including encounters others besides
myself have had with it and what was told me about it and what to do to
get rid of it! Some of you have emailed claiming to know what it is and
some have called it an evil spirit, some a poltergeist, etc. I don't
care what it is, I just want RID of it! Some of your emails I will try
to answer personnally as soon as I have the time. Thanks for looking.
