Haunted pilots ring?!

[Mike K.]

Okay, I know we don't post links to active eBay auctions so you'll have to look this one up for yourselves. I just came upon the auction and found it rather odd. According to the listing:

"I was told the previous owner purchased this from an estate thinking it was unique and different, but whenever he wore it "he felt weird", it bothered him to wear it for no explained reason. I don't believe in this stuff but for those that do I felt you should be aware this ring may be haunted."

So what do you think? Would you buy a potentially "haunted" air corps ring?

Sure! It's pretty cool. Maybe that whole haunted spiel is just a sales pitch.

my friend has a ww2 german wool blanket that she wanted to sell on ebay. and she said it's impossible to take a picture of this blanket. every time she takes a picture of it, the photo is ruined no matter what camera she uses. flashes of light, or blurry, or weird light looking things in the picture.

she said that nothing weird has ever happened but apparently the blanket doesn't like it's picture taken.

so she hasn't sold it.

Believe it or not, "haunted" is a commonly used term by sellers to command higher bids since some people seek those things specifically. If you do a search on "haunted dolls" for example, you'll see all kinds of new dime a dozen dolls being described as crying in the night and other such paranormal commodities. lol

I'd demand proof of being haunted -

If won and purchased, will I have an overwhelming desire to drink heavily and talk with my hands, while starting all stories with "there I was, surrounded by the ENTIRE Jap Air Force..." ?

I have a haunted WWll US Paratroopers silver ring. Nothing nasty but it moves about!

...that just means you've been reading too much of Bob Stevens' work.

haunted, schmaunted.

i'd buy it. i've seen a lot of sweetheart jewelry from that era, and i have yet to see anything like that...

I have a copper and ivory braclet (think PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN honkin' big) that was brought back from China by a mechanic who served with the Flying Tigers.

Nothin' but good MoJo from that artifact. [huh]

"And I'd have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for you pesky kids!!!!!"lol
I have seen 'odd' and 'unexplainable' things, and I have a friend who can 'read' inanimate objects such as this. I found two rings tied together with ribbon under the floorboards of my house, she had a go and about a year later I was talking with an elderly neighbour about the occupants of the house when she was a little girl. It all tied in with what my friend told me which was rather odd......
If you believe in that kind of thing.[huh]

I want to buy it for my boyfriend, who was in the Air Force. He would *love* that ring. I cannot find the thing anywhere on eBay, maybe the auction is over by now.

Bah.

 

[leaette]

the auction ended a while ago. it ended up selling pretty high, around $180, i think.

I'd probably buy it, but would be awfully disappointed if it wasn't haunted.
