I got a comment right here!

I find it difficult to believe that someone is actually bidding for this!

Hmm seems to me she should just tell the kid what kind of a person his grandfather was,if he was a kind person like she says he was then she should tell her son that this isn't an evil spirit this is his grandpappy watching over him,making sure he's okay, like a guardian angel. Other-wise he's gonna grow up with the mindset that his grandpappy is somone he should be afraid of. But the morals of it aside,the technology aspect of it is what I find fascinating, the fact that you could put somones ghost (possibly evil) up for auction and have people actually bid real money on it?!? It must be a testament to the tech of the time's.Never before in the history of mankind has something like this been possible, the communication just wasn't there, hell I saw a guy from Japan selling a half eaten bowl of ramen on ebay...and yes he actually had bids.

Is his soul included in that deal? If so I want him. I'll make him haunt the front yard and make him wear a sheet that says "my daughter went to Ebay and all I got was this stupid sheet."

Here's the auction

What amazes me is the number of copycat auctions.

This is even better, somebody is auctioning off ghostcane.com, ghostcane.net and ghostcane.org !!

And you can even buy this cool shirt:

What scares me is not that someone would acution off a 'Ghost' or that the bidding would go so high, but that people would copy off of the Auction. I mean, come on, its to help out a little kid... in a weird way.
