Tim Ellis.

It's St. Joseph. I buried one of those 4" plastic St. Joes for a listing I had in Issaquah about 9 months ago. The place sold quickly, but when I went back to dig up the statue, I couldn't find it..Maybe the place has been sold several times since then because of my deficient saint finding abilities?

As an atheist, I have to say that the idea that burying a religious statue in the yard to help sell a house is about as foreign as you can get on several different levels.

...And you think it was easy for this Jewish agnostic to bury a plastic statue of a Catholic saint?

I didn't even use a shovel. I used a little trowel, the plastic statue is only 4" tall. Nah, it wasn't backbreaking work..But how did that little bugger disappear?

But Tim,
What if it worked? yeah, you'd be getting rich off of some John L Scott listing agents, but developing premature arthritis.

Actually it's a great idea to bury Tim Ellis doll under a desired property for it to go into foreclosure...makes perfect sense.

I would advise you to bury it under public sidewalk.

Here's a better plan. Put Tim's statue on a helium balloon and float it over the house you want. That will make it more of a legitimate haunting. Or make the statue a balloon, which is cheaper. If you attach a little fan to it, you could even steer it around for especially effective haunting capabilities.

This is good. Are you getting all this down Tim?
