Bottled Ghosts?

.
I’ve sometimes said that you don’t have to spend a fortune to get worldwide publicity for something - you just need a very good idea.

This was the case when a manufacturer of electronic cigarettes in New Zealand managed to buy two bottled ghosts for £940. The bidding for the items on a local online auction website attracted over 200,000 views, and the media have now picked up on what is certainly a good story.

It seems that a lady living in Christchurch got fed up with having to share her home with the spirits of an old man and a girl who, among other things, would touch her on the neck, frighten the dog, move things around the house and, without being asked, boil a kettle. So she called in a local exorcist who managed to contain the two spirits in phials of holy water. Since then the lady’s house has been at peace.

Quite what a manufacturer of electronic cigarettes proposes to do with little bottles containing the spirits of two dead people remains to be seen, but it is inviting suggestions as to what they should do with them.

In the meantime, it has already received queries about what it proposes to do for the comfort and well-being of the spirits they now possess. Might there be a danger that the spirits will take possession of them instead?
