Craigslist Missed Connections are always weird, but here's one we've never seen before: ghost hunter. There doesn't seem to be a particular ghost in mind, making it more of a personals ad than a missed connection, but maybe the connection was missed in a psychic sense. The listed requirements:

Then please contact John from Amnesia. John, try craigslist next time.

Other -ists, such as Chicagoist, Houstonist, and Austinist, regularly peruse Craigslist's "Missed Connections" for the good stuff. Boston's Missed Connections have been fairly straightforward, with the exception of the guy who thought he found Fung Wah Love. But this has been a good week for impressive Missed Connections. First, a love note to a "meter maid" caught our eye: You waited until I backed into the parking space to tell me that in the future...
STEP Fundraiser hosted by Taza Chocolate Thursday, October 25, 2007 Bloc 11 Cafe, 11 Bow Street, Union Square, Somerville 6:30 to 9 p.m., $25 suggested donation Somerville Transportation Equity Partnership can list a lot of fine reasons to extend the green line into the town that sits north of Cambridge like a jaunty sailor cap: pollution, population density, lawsuits, "revitalization". Bostonist has selfish reasons of our own, and they live in Union Square: crack-laced cream...
LAist has so much fun this week! They go to E3, where they overhear the timeless remark "Man, this is where nerdy girls get laid." Is that a promise? They also give us this week's best CDs and make us realize that LA is the best place to use Zillow.
Some of the coolest stuff at South By Southwest Interactive takes place after the convention center's shut tight. One of the most interesting things this week was 20x2, an annual get-together where 20 speakers, from all corners of the Web and the tech world, get two minutes each to answer one very open-ended question. This year, "What's The Secret?"
The days of Craigslist job posting spam scams may be on the way out on the Boston board. Bostonist has good things to say about the list-o-craig. From missed connections connected to the missing iPod delivered in our account of the Craigslist miracle to the plethora of jobs we can dream about and those we’re sure to be overqualified for, the list has made us smile. Not a day goes by without the promise of riches on the Craigslist job board. Be it cosmetic sales commissions or night life promotions, there are plenty of opportunities to take a job with no real base pay. Bostonist is merely speculating on this, but we think that with a fee attached to the posting, some of these frivolous ads may be filtered out.
Being a hopeless romantic, one of Bostonist's guilty pleasures is reading the missed connections section of craigslist. Originally meant to help flash-in-the-pan flirtations develop into lasting booty-call relationships, missed connections has become the catch-all home for messages to unknown or unseen parties, ranging from the you-were- hot-but-I-didn't-have- the-gumption-to-talk- to-you posts to more cryptic fare. Closest to Bostonist's heart, though, is the pining letter to a loved one who has gone away. Why do we mention...
The Boston Globe featured an article today about the phenom known as "Missed Connections" on craigslist's boston edition. Now, Bostonist has been known to check the Missed Connections section daily, for hopes that someone noticed us on the T (not really) and because they are ridiculously funny most of the time. According to this article, Missed Connections has actually made a match. In September 2003, Jared Bibler laid eyes on Elisa Stead at the Kenmore...
St. Patrick’s day is a day for everyone to celebrate Ireland, drink beer, and wear green—even if they’re not Irish. Boston College launches a new searchable database on all the "missing friends" from the Boston Pilot. They are holding an event today at 1 p.m. to announce the official launch, with a reception to follow. The missing friends ads were a bit like missed connections ads on craigslist before telephones made their true mark on society. Friends and relatives advertised in the Pilot looking for others who had traveled from Ireland and they hadn’t yet found. Information Wanted, according to the Boston College website, listed nearly 32,000 ads looking for people of Irish decent. This kind of thing makes Bostonist feel pretty silly when we’re calling the cell-phone of someone else who got separated from us watching the Patriots’ victory parade down Boylston.
