A heavy metal rock star with an interest in the occult, Jude Coyne, buys a ghost (by way of the dead man's favorite Sunday suit) via an eBay style internet auction, only to find that he has a connection to the malevolent spirit that he didn't know about at the time he bought it.

An excellent first effort from Joe Hill, who is the son of horror legend Stephen King. You can definitely see some similarities in their style which proves that, at least in this case, the apple didn't fall too far from the tree!
