    Apparantly, Michael Jackson is bidding on this item over on ebay. At the time of posting the highest bid was over £1,500,000 sterling. Funny to see a bit of Irish Ebay madness for a change.

    They seem to have started a trend for selling ghosts in bottles.... :D:D

    He's not offering Shipping Insurance on the item. There is NO WAY I'm paying GBP£1.5 million on the ghost, and having to entrust An Post with its delivery.....

    Funniest thing ever. The guy who pays 1.5 million for that DESERVES to lose his money for being THAT stupid.

    Personally I do believe in spirits, but think anyone who thinks they have a ghost in a bottle is off their rocker. As for bidding 1.5million- well as they say, a fool and his money are soon parted.

    The priest was having a laugh. He showed them an empty bottle and said the spirits are gone.

    I guess the highest bids have now been withdrawn. I think it went over 2 million at one stage. How frustrating must that be, to watch your auction go to those heights and then drop down to £1500. Still though, not a bad price for a fart in a bottle.
