He thought it was the most horrible thing he'd ever seen, so he listed it as a haunted mask and made up a fake-o spook story to pair it with. The punchline, of course, is that another friend of mine bought it and we all shipped it off to the person he was just leaving on a vacation to go see. She placed it on his pillow. I'm told the screaming and cursing were quite entertaining. :-) A friend of mine once bought one of those cheap little porcelain wall-hanger masks at a thrift shop, planning to sell it on eBay.

I used to watch Ghost Hunters as a simultaneous exercise in annoyance and extreme comedy and as I recall they did an episode on the Stanley Hotel (supposedly the hotel that inspired "The Shining") where they stated that the "haunting" was probably due to the rock formations under the hotel holding the "energy" of past events. Oy. So, grab some rocks, put em on with a claim that they are from the area around the Stanley Hotel and Bob's yer uncle.

'Sentry Spirit', 'Playful Spirit' and such. I am staggered to believe that people can go on to ebay and see pages of these dolls and not even think, for even a second, that they are being taken for a ride. It's like we have a surplus of belief. If only we could harness it and turn it into rotary motion then we can solve the energy problems of the world. Unless the dolls have a switch on the back you can set to 'evil' before you ship them. That would be cool. Every so often I see something that makes me weep.

I'm happy to part with it (and the lead lined box it goes in), but I have to warn you it has driven nearly all its owners insane! (I'm obviously one of the lucky ones, but no guarantees if you're silly enough to look in the box!)

Spray it under your arms once a day, after taking a shower! Even total strangers avoided me until I tried it. So it MUST work!! Eliminate your bad ol' Thetans today!!!
