Haunted Houses
We once had a client who made her purchase in Richmond contingent on the house having "no ghosts or hauntings." Fortunately, none were found and the transaction closed.
Absent a contract requirement like this, does a home seller legally need to tell the buyer if the house is haunted? The answer depends on the state you live in. Vermont has no statutory or court decisions requiring disclosure, but it might be best to let your buyers know.
