Haunted Cane Scares Up Loot on Ebay
Topic: Hoosier Oddities

In an effort to ease her son's fear of dead grandfather's cane, mother puts cane up for sale on Ebay.
Mary Anderson of Hobart, IN sold her father's cane on Ebay earlier this week for $65,000 to an online casino. The same casino, GoldenPalace.com, paid $28,000 for a grilled cheese sandwich believed to bear the image of the Virgin Mary.
Although he was reported to be a nice guy, in the last days of the grandfather's life he was cross with the boy; tapping him with the cane. When he died, the boy was convinced that the grandfather's ghost was in the cane.
Check out posting on Ebay listing while it is still up (auction ID: 5539709069).

really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to be actually something that I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and extremely broad for me. I'm looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!
