Fancy buying a sword that maybe cursed, haunted by ghosts and source of chaos? Well, if you do then an elderly woman in Austin, TX. is selling just that very thing on Cragslist: a mighty double-handed 18th century broadsword that looks nearly as tall as its seller stands.

How does this wise old lady know it’s haunted? Well, since the sword has been in her home, life has descended into chaos. If that weren’t enough to convince you, when her knitting group came over to visit “they all said they could feel a strange energy in my sword room”. Quite.

Here’s the advert:

Sword For sale WARNING might be haunted - $150

This sword is from the 1700s. I got it at an antique store in my memaw’s home town back in 1984. The person who sold it to me told me to be careful because there is a 90+% chance that it is cursed. Since it’s been in my house my life has descended into pure chaos. My knitting group came over and they all said they could feel a strange energy in my sword room (I have a collection of over 100 swords. This is my only haunted sword). Since i got this sword, about 3 times a week a crucifix will fall off of my wall for no reason. I am 76 years old. I cannot have this cursed item in my house anymore. Please take it off my hands!!

Okay, I admit I am intrigued and think this haunted weapon could be a fun thing to have around the home—though anyone who’s read Joe Hill’s Heart-Shaped Box, in which a rock star bought a haunted suit, will know what could follow.
