I mean, I’m not gonna demand it pay rent, since it was there before me (probably)
But it’d be nice if she would clean up every now and then. Maybe do the dishes, cook a meal.
But no, it’s always knocking books off shelves, rattling pipes, and making the temperature drop in random spots when I just took a shower.
I’m not fucking the ghost though, I prefer something a bit more solid.
There’s one thing you and I differ in.
Can I hire her to drop the temp after a shower? I’m super warm natured, so most days I’m sweating as soon as I get out. It would be nice to have an environmentally friendly cryotherapy option.
I, too, could do with a corporally challenged buddy for the same reasons 😁
This peep show ain’t free, ghosts, you can call it mutual aid if you want but I’ll need evidence that you’re at least scaring off bad ghosts if you want to stick around.
you can call it mutual aid if you want
Which would arguably be eminently reasonable on account of being accurate 😁
What if the ghost lingers around because even death isn’t enough to make them leave the house they paid for
You can usually get rid of ghosts by giving your ventilation system a tune-up anyway.

My take: Stambovsky was a complete idiot.
Just read the wiki on it - I agree with you, EVEN if the seller and real estate agent were lying about informing Stambovsky about the haunting, the very public profile of the haunting should have allowed Stambovsky to know this detail.
.
I don’t agree with the appellate court decision that,the most meticulous inspection and the search would not …unearth the property’s ghoulish reputation in the community;
Seems to me a pretty casual search would have revealed the reputation.
Just to clarify, this was 1991. What was the buyer casually searching? The local library’s Reader’s Digest archives from ten years prior? The Nyack newspaper archives?
I feel like people don’t remember how information was shared and retained before the internet was everywhere. If it wasn’t in an encyclopedia volume you owned or a magazine you subscribed to, you mostly just didn’t know.
Maybe “casual” isn’t the right word, but I would expect anyone paying $650k in 1991 (what is that, like $2million in today’s dollars) to do their due diligence, which doesn’t sound like it was done at all. And you aren’t doing this yourself, you’re paying someone to do it for you (esp with this kind of money on the line).
Also, beyond whether he knew it not, the haunting made the house more valuable, not less.
