Woman Sells Dad's Ghost On eBay

HOBART, Ind. -- An Indiana woman is selling her father's ghost on eBay.
Mary Anderson said the unusual auction is to calm her 6-year-old son, who is terrified that his grandfather's ghost will haunt their house. He refuses to go anywhere in the home alone. In her description on the online auction site, she said, "This isn't a joke."
In her posting, Anderson said her son, Collin, told her, "Grandpa died here, and he was mean. His ghost is still around." She reassured bidders that her father "was the sweetest, most caring man you'd ever meet."
She also has put her father's metal cane up for auction, so the winning bidder will get something concrete.
She also asked the winner to write a letter to her son confirming the ghost has moved and is "getting along great" with his new owner.
The auction ends Monday.
