Neologism - Hauntiques

Have you ever held an item and wondered about its history? Ever wondered "if this item could speak, what tales would it tell?" Have you ever pondered an item that is so soaked in history that it is practically palpable? Some of these items go one step further, they begin to have a story of there own... one that they create... one that they design... supposedly.

We have all been to an antique store or a museum at some point in our lives and have heard the tales and legends that surround certain historical artifacts, but these items that are haunted by the ghosts of their former owners have never had a name of their own. A magician has given these items a name of their own... they are called hauntiques, which is a word made of the two words "haunted" and "antiques." Simple enough... but very strange indeed.

The magician has a book entitled "Hauntiques" which is about such items. It about not only magic tricks involving hauntiques but also about their procurement or creation and how to "imbue" them with power. A strange book especially if you are not a magician or actor, but a fun one.

If you want to see some examples of hauntiques you can check out the book or you can go to ebay and look for haunted antiques and you will get at least several dozen hits. Ignore the half melted baby dolls and the crappy costume jewelry and you will occasionally find something truly unique... something... extraordinary.
