Couple sue previous homeowners for not telling them the house was haunted

[Kev]

Seriously I mean they could at least make their bullshit case sound half plausible, and make up realistic 'evidence' of ghostly activity. Clanging chains and green slime? It sounds like they got their ideas on hauntings from watching Scooby Doo.

LOL

You really need to write a weekly current events piece.

I've been checking books out of the library about ghosts and hauntings. I am finding that most of the stories are about people who died in the 1700's or take place in 100 year old houses. It's very disappointing. I want to read about 80's through 2008.

I think that's your answer right there. The houses are hold, and hence the floor boards creek, woodworm has probably made holes in the walls creating draught pockets and funny noises. The boilers are old and fucked making the pipes bang etc.

There is probably mould in the walls giving off strange smells etc.

New houses I guess don't have those problems hence less sightings.

I read a case last semester about a court which confirmed that the old owner had to pay the new owner because he did not tell him his house was haunted.
To the court it was irrelevant whether the house was haunted or not, but the main focus was that the old owner had claimed it was haunted in a popular magazine. Then he sold the house without telling the new buyer. This adversely affected re-sale values. The court pretty much said that since it adversly affected re-sale values and that the old owner had been advertising the spirits previously, he should have, in good faith told the potential buyer.

Shortly after reading the article Bilbo posted I went to check all my other favorite websites and found another article about the same case... actually it's the same article now that I read further into it lol



Here is a cool link to make up for the re-post I just made

I love that site mate, was your greatest ever find I think, I log on at least once a day. This article, my gnome discovery, tree man and a load others all from that site. The forum is the most unitentionally funny read on the whole internet

As for Taps, I think they are largely a joke, a team of plumbers completely untrained in science, using equipment they are not trained to use, for a purpose it was not designed for.

Having said that they are far far better than our crappy British version where we send in teams of psychics and other related loons.

At least taps try and take a scientific approach even if they don't really have a clue what they are doing.

Some good evidence on there though, some of it is pretty convincing.


By the way BG you really should start a blog on this stuff. Tell us about the latest Big Foot sightings and the other goings on in the cryptozoology and UFO worlds.

I'd defintiely read it

Yeah, I watch them from time to time if they are at a cool location. and because I think the blonde is hot but only when seen from night vision.

Same with T.A.P.S. actually, I only watch the shows that have a intresting location. So even if the show is crap I've at least been giving a nice tour.

The worst show yet is Paranormal State. Each show is a half-hour long so by the time they get going it's over. I believe they have them on YouTube at the moment if you want to check them out.

The worst show I've EVER seen is "Scariest Places On Earth". They don't show anything but the people's face screaming right in front of the camera. The show is as full of shit as an overflowing ceptic tank.

At least on TAPS they TRY to show a ghostly image (something caught on camera, etc.). But on SPOE they show nothing. Just the people standing around screaming.

Yes that one is horrible, BUT, I think it's main audience are children. Seriously.

Oh, and the voice that introduces the show sounds like Bobby from King Of The Hill.
