After causing havoc at Rotorua's Plunket clinic, "George the Friendly Community Ghost" has been caught, kept in a jar, and is for sale on Trade Me.
Apparently George had become a nuisance, playing with lights and stealing biscuits, so he's waiting to be shipped to the highest bidder.
Committee member Caraline Abbott (pictured) had the novel idea during a late-night meeting at the Pukuatua St clinic.
"It's one of those creaky old buildings and I thought 'I wonder if there's a ghost here'," she said.
"It is scary, the thoughts go through your head, even though the chocolate biscuits haven't really gone missing."
