The "Hope Diamond" Of Haunted Items Hits Five Grand On Ebay

An unusual blue antique ring has generated a massive amount of interest on the popular auction site Ebay, where as of this writing, the haunted gem has garnered over five thousand dollars. The seller claims the Blue Nova ring has a long paranormal history of granting both wishes and causing horrible curses, and that it has been owned by the rich and famous.

The ring, originally a glass piece taken from the temple of the goddess Lakshmi in India in the 1940's, has a rich and detailed history. According to the seller, the "wish granting" ring has been responsible for life changing events as it passed through the hands of many people over the years, including some celebrities. The seller claims the ring is a portal into other dimensions as well as a wish granting paranormal item. But, there is a warning to the new owner: Anyone who has kept this ring for more than two years has suffered a terrible curse. So, if you are the lucky winner, you should make plans to pass it on in the year 2011.

Is it the paranormal claims or the obvious investment opportunity due to the hype that is driving the bids for this bewitched bauble through the roof? One wonders if the novel like story attached to this auction is the truth or just another Virgin Mary grilled cheese sandwich.

The Blue Nova Ring ends this Sunday night, March 29th.
