Haha check this out, bidding is getting pretty crazy. Do you rthink this guy actually had these experiences or just trying to make a quick buck. Wouldnt want that in my house though, stuff like that creeps me out... hehe i got the chills reading it. Pretty funny though, you really can find anything on ebay.

This is a pretty common sales tactic on Ebay. 

Here... for example.

People who believe things are 'haunted' have no grip of reality.  If what the seller wrote was true, the voices can be explained as RF interferance (happened on my old TV too), the game pausing itself could be a short in the system, and as for the cat not going near it... well... cats are crazy animals.

Ahhh... the gullible...

Holy sh*t im going to my nona's this sunday and getting my NES back!  If you want to buy it, Ill sell it for $400 because I must get rid of it because my dog wont go near it!  It comes with a controller and a lightgun.  The controller is haunted, and sometimes, if you press UP on it, nothing happens at all!  Almost as if a ghost doesn't want me to go up in Pacman!  The lightgun appears to have an orange shell if you look, whereas late at night, it seems red!  I cannot guarantee you will experience these phenominons(sp?) but spend $400 to see for sure :)

It would be pretty cool if you could mod an NES to do wierd stuff during play.  That would be some funny stuff to have at parties.

Reminds me of a weird story...

One time I was playing sonic 2 on my Genesis.  I had been playing for hours, and I had finally beaten Robotnik on Mystic Ruins.  I jumped on the animal capsule thingy, but instead of animals, a bunch of bloody gibs started jumping out of it.  It scared me so much that I turned off the system and left.

Now that I think about it, it was probably just some scrambled sprites, like when the cartridge contacts are dirty.  It was scary at the time though.....
