If you're in the market for vintage sports paraphernalia, vegan jewelry, or flower headbands, Etsy is the place to go. The site has a reputation for attracting talented amateur artists with unique wares to sell, and is perfect for anyone looking for one-of-a-kind or handmade items.
But some of those one-of-a-kind items toe the line between unique and creepy, and some are insanely overpriced.
From $14,000 magic wands to eerily-lifelike squirrel wedding cake toppers, we rounded up the weirdest and wildest that Etsy sellers have to offer.
A photo that "proves" Nicolas Cage is a vampire
Original c.1870 carte de visite showing a man who looks exactly like Nick Cage. Personally, I believe it's him and that he is some sort of walking undead/vampire, et cetera, who quickens/reinvents himself once every 75 years or so. 150 years from now, he might be a politician, the leader of a cult, or a talk show host. Guaranteed to be an original 1860s-70s photograph and not a modern reproduction, copy or photo manipulation."

"The Thelema Stone:

Sir Aleister Crowley used the stone for Scrying. Scrying has been used in many cultures in the belief that it can divine the past, present, or future and summon Spiritual creatures for personal purposes.
