ST. JOHNS COUNTY, Fla. -- A St. Augustine man is in the business of selling bottled spirits; but you may not want to drink what he claims is inside the containers.In rural St. Johns County, there's a little shed that's considered haunted because inside Jon Deese said he's storing ghosts.Deese said he has ghosts trapped in bottles, and they're for sale.
“This was actually the first one that was caught, in Decatur County, Ga., in an old farmhouse,” Desse said, showing off one ghost in a bottle.While Deese said he contracts with professional ghost catchers around the country and that it’s the ghost catchers who actually stuff the phantasms into a bottle, he wouldn’t elaborate on exactly how the ghosts get into the bottles.“Well, if you went to KFC, you wouldn't ask for secret recipe,” Deese said. “They’ll go in and catch them from haunted establishments, cars, hotels, maybe even graveyards.”Whether supernatural or just a spooky novelty, the ghosts in bottles come with a warning -- open at your own risk.“Some people will open the bottle and say they don’t get results and it’s just a fun conversation piece. Others say, ‘There’s strange things happening in my house. Where're my car keys? Where's the remote to the TV?” Deese said. “The ghost in the bottle is more toward Casper the Friendly Ghost than the Exorcist. We're kind of in the middle.”Ghosts in bottles are available online at AGhostInABottle.com.
