Yup

I got nothing. Usually I have a clever title and/or a sarcastic lead-in but this is, wow, just wow. This seller uses this gimmick on all her auctions. Funny thing is, she gets bids, ridiculous prices.

I was researching some old sunglasses I have a shit ton of. Most are pretty worthless but ol' Maggie's haunted ones sold for $50 fuckin bucks. LOL I have copied and pasted below the seller's lovely BS filled gimmick that she seems to use to sell anything and everything. I wish my shit was haunted...

Another item in Maggies collection that I wish I could keep for myself! But a promise is a promise. This is a pair of true vintage 1960's Foster Grant sunglasses in amazing condition, round...reminiscent of John Lennon or Janice Joplin. Gold tone frames, amber tinted ff77 lenses. The frame is not bent, no chips or cracks in the lenses. AND...they come in a very old wood harmonica box. In this instance, the glasses came to Maggie in the box. AND....a wonderful, very present, spirit attachment name Gerard. Gerard died in 1967 at the young age of 24. he wore these glasses always...for the last 2 years of his life and they were sort a trademark for him. He also carried them around in this old wood harmonica box that had once belonged to a friend of his. Gerard went missing at a party in Lake Tahoe and while his physical body was never found, Maggie said he drowned, purely by accident in the lake. He did not mean to die and there was no foul play, but he was irresponsible in the incident. His death occurred in the month of March. Maggie came to have this item many years later, in the late 1990's when another medium sent it to her. Maggie says Gerard is a very strong spirit who can manifest in full form. He likes his existence as a spirit energy and has no desire to progress or move on. One day about 10 years ago, I was in sort of a bad place, not happy...feeling restless. Maggie loaned me this pair of glasses and told me to wear them for a few days. I did. Every day for a week. It is hard to explain my experience, but it was healing and energizing and I came out of my slump. You can feel a loving warm presence as soon as you put on these old specs. Maggies notes say that Gerard was/is a healer and if you listen closely you can hear him humming. Very communicative with those who have that gift. I love this item. Hate to let it go, but I ma keeping the faith that Gerard will go where he is needed!


*** I have been asked frequently why I do not simply list these items in the antique/jewelry/vintage, etc. category's  here on ebay and get better final selling prices. The answer is simple....I made a commitment to be forthcoming about the properties associated with any items in this collection. This is the real deal... and it matters not at all to me... who believes and who does not. This is a benevolent endeavor in many ways.  I am more than confident that these items are going where they were meant to go. ALSO - many, if not most..of the items in this collection are not pretty or valuable. There are old rusty tools, a single playing card or a just a rock. So many odd items. Who knows what item a spirit will become attached to. I am selling only the items I feel have some value on their own. OR...may have a really special attachment that can benefit someone. 
What Maggie taught me and what I am now a firm believer in is this. When our physical bodies cease to function, the essence of us, our spirit, our soul, continues on with the journey. In life, as human beings, we become attracted to and attached to our "stuff". We have objects that we covet. It may be an item that holds good memories, or a gift from a loved one. Sometimes we keep even the items that may hold sadness for us. The blanket of a departed child or a belt that was used to hurt us. A departing spirit often becomes attached and/or attracted to an item that was somehow significant in a death. A stolen wallet or piece of jewelry, a cup that held the poison or the hammer that struck the blow. I believe it is more common place than any of us can imagine, how many inanimate objects have the constant or frequent accompaniment of a departed soul that the item was important to. Maggie was certain that more often than not, there is a definite purpose to an attachment. The object may be destined to go to a person who needs the benefits of a certain energy, sometimes many years down the road. Other times, a spirit is lost and seeking comfort and guidance. And quite often...a spirit is simply drawn to a beloved item from a former life because they like it. Maggie believed that most can freely pass between "realms" and are rarely stuck here. That being said, many of the items in Maggies collection are stuck or...choose not to leave for one reason or another. Our sense of time cannot really be related to "their" sense of time.

In 2011 my dear friend Maggie, a respected and beloved spiritual medium left this world peacefully, at the age of 89. Maggie spent a lifetime accumulating unusual items, items that she believed have active attachments. Items that called to her, or came to her doorstep. She lived in the same little old house in my neighborhood for the last 52 years of her life. In her younger days she was an avid estate sale hunter and auction goer. She actively sought out items that she felt needed a "good home". She also did readings and home visits. She never charged for her services. Many of the items were given to her for safe keeping or as gifts. Spending the day or evening at Maggies house was always filled with mystery and activity, some of it confounding and sometimes, admittedly a little spooky! I met Maggie in 1999 while volunteering at local womens center, where Maggie was a devoted volunteer. Getting to know her was life changing experience for me. I came to view the universe in a completely different light. I spent the last 5 years of Maggies life keeping her company and helping out with things around the house pretty much every day. We would spend hours and hours talking about many of the items in her collection and the history....and...the particular spirit attached to them, or what she was trying to figure out about a particularly mysterious item. She said sometimes these spirits communicated right away, others....she had to wait to find out who they were. It was fascinating.  She was a brave and wonderful woman. About 2 years before her death, Maggie asked if I would take her beloved collection when she was gone and re home her tenants. Living with this collection has been VERY INTERESTING! It sometimes feels like my whole house is haunted, but I know it is not. It is the spirits "visiting" their beloved belongings. Maggie told me she believed that most of these spirits are not bound to the earth, some are, but most simply like to visit and spend time. A "visit" can last years or only weeks at a time, but they always come back time and again. I am not explaining it as well as Maggie.  Each estate item I will list for sale certainly has value in and of itself, but they all come with a "bonus". When someone doesn't believe me, I say - spend one night in my house! And people have...and there are many more non skeptics out there now! Maggie had only one living relative, a grand daughter. This young woman is very sensitive and sweet but being around spirit activity is very frightening to her. She and I have agreed that i will auction off some of this collection and use the proceeds for a private, but benevolent endeavor. I am not a good photographer. Please ask for more photos or information if you like. Ask me any questions. I have copious notes and lists on this collection and will do my best. I am NOT a medium. I am, however, as Maggie put it, very open and sensitive. I have had direct interaction with many, many spirits visiting my home. Most....and in all honesty...not all.....but most...seem to be harmless.  Many of the items will come in "spirit" boxes. Maggie stored many many smaller items on bookshelves in these boxes. I am bound by this site say that I am selling only an item. I make no guarantees of any intangible attributes. I will always take returns and offer full refunds if you are not satisfied for any reason with your new addition. I welcome questions and will do my very best to answer, but some of these items have no written history and I can only relate my own experience or what has been told to me. Please be serious and responsible when considering taking one of these very special items into your home. Thank you!
