Haunted Antique Wood Carving Put on sale in 2013 the item was in the sellers
family for over 60 years. Its a carving of a rather upset looking man
with his head down and his eyes closed, holding his hat in his hands.
The sellers grandparents found it in the 1950's while cleaning out the attic of an old home
in west virgina. They asked the original home-owner about it
and found out that it had been carved by an old prisoner in the 1800s. the owner said
that anyone who comes in contact with it seems to feel strange or creeped out by it,
they said they had it stored in a box for several years but once they placed it in a
cabinet, putting it on show strange occurrences began, the television
and lights started to turn off and on and his child's toys would randomly
turn on in the middle of the night creeping him out.
it was put on sale for $85 dollars.
Haunted Statue This item was put on sale in 2013,
its a statue made by a man this is the story behind it,
while working at a brickyard the seller of the item had a friend who had a hobby of making
statues out of unhardened clay he would bring them into work. The man
by the name of william made this statue which was based on himself, on the
that he made it he tragically died during an accident on site
in which he was crushed to death. the next day the seller's friend found the
statue and decided to take it home in memory of william.
this is when strange things started to happen. he kept the statue in his den, he claims that
once he put the statue in there the room felt very heavy and uninviting,
one night he woke up as he could hear very loud footsteps coming from the den he went
and checked it out but no one was there. then one day when he arrived home he heard
a very loud bang as if a door had been slammed, he went and investigated and the den doors
were wide open. He went inside and two decorations which were placed next to the statue had been
smashed and were on the floor, the statue had
also been turned around and was facing the wall.
for a few weeks after this it was quiet this was until he walked past the den one night
in order to go to the bathroom, he saw a shadowy figure out of the corner
of his eye near the statue. this creeped him out so much that he begged
his friend to put the item on ebay, he also added that his dog is terrified of
the statue and wont go anywhere near it. it was put on sale for 50 dollars.

business, he took the box there and stored it in the basement workshop as he was going
to refurbish it and give it to his mother as a birthday gift.

she couldn't get out. the man rushed back to his shop opened the gates and found
