Haunted Cane

In 2004, an Indiana woman named Mary Anderson put on eBay a haunted ‘Ghost Cane’ for sale. Though eBay at that time rejected ‘intangible items such as spirits or souls,’ because Ms. Anderson made it clear she was only selling the cane so that her son would no longer freak out, the item was accepted for bidding. The cane reached 132 bids and was sold for $65,000 to the Golden Palace casino in Antigua which had also added to its collection, a $28,000 grilled cheese sandwich which was said to bear the image of the Virgin Mary.
