Is there an official way to file a grievance for haunting?
Are they liable so long as they were away of the ghost, or only if they murdered the guy that's haunting it?

Who are you gonna call?

If it was America it would be ok to stop paying.

Like, zoinks! Did you hear that Scoob?

I roor rid, Shaggy!

Like, I'm for getting out of here! Hey a clue! Whoa...why did the ghost drop a Fannie Mae business card?

TheMysteriousStranger: Who are you gonna call?

A debt consolidater? Yeah.

"Mr Rashid added: "When we found red blood spots on the baby's quilt, that was the day my wife said she'd had enough. We didn't even stay that night."

Apparently, Pedo bear can even take the form of a ghost.

/sorry, really sorry.

He would've gotten away with it too - if it hadn't been for those meddling kids!

Couldn't he, you know...sell it?

How about an UNLIKELY tag?

I looong time ago I was a real estate agent. I had a listing that just would not sell. It was a nice house in a nice part of town. The owner would get bored and make an improvement. Tile the kitchen one weekend, make a brick walkway while on vacation, that sort of thing. The guy did tasteful and wonderful work. The place had a very fair price on it. The place got plenty of showings but no contracts (offers).

The owner really needed to sell the house. The listing was about to expire. The owner extended the listing with me. I changed the verbage in the MLS listing to the effect of "many home improvements, rock fountain in pool, tile throughout, granite countertops... Property is rumored to have a resident spirit." The term "rumored" covered everyone legally. Someone once heard a noise one night. It could have been the icemaker. Who knows?

A contract came in the next day from someone who had never seen the house before. The place closed within four weeks for the full asking price.

Got a "haunted" property? Some people want that.

Mr Rashid claimed that during the eight months the family lived there they were haunted by mysterious figures and found unexplained blood stains on bedclothes.

Surprise Butt Secks?

FTA: Even paranormal experts were unable to solve the problem.

Has a paranormal 'expert' EVER solved a problem?

"Mr Rashid added: "When we found red blood spots on the baby's quilt, that was the day my wife said she'd had enough. We didn't even stay that night."

The baby is over six months old, so his wife probably won't end up on fire on the ceiling.

All old houses in England have resident ghosts. Duh. It's not a big selling feature, unless it was a priest who either (a) was murdered; or (b) did the murdering.

See Priest hole (^), your original 'panic room'.

Well, someone's become a woman.

My wife absolutely loves that awful show.

You might be closer than you think- it is not unheard of for infant girls to "spot" due to high levels of hormones in their blood stream (From the mother) shortly after birth.

/eww, I know

Heh, that might work in the States mate but over here you can't move a foot without treading where some poor bastard's expired, it's astonishing anyone gets any sleep at night. I think every other house over 50 years old in the village I grew up in had some sort of ghost story, and one of the more modern estates apparently had a quite nasty one that was pissed off that its old place had been built on. What with that and the lost souls from deserted Black-Death village up the road, it'd be hard to turn the things into property features unless they made the coffee in the morning and sucked one off at night, something earthbound spirits aren't really known for.

He should turn it into a bed and breakfast.

I don't know about haunted, but there is a house in one of the Des Moines suburbs that has had not one, but two murders take place in it, a few years apart. I think the first one was a home invasion that got out of hand. The second was a dad beat his handicapped son to death as the kid slept.

Last I heard, the realtors were still trying to sell it.

Pwnd.

Seriously: texasjoe's story was funny, but the truth of your statement (I take it you are located either in Britain or somewhere in Europe) just made me LOL...

/too early for me on a Sunday...

There's a chuck palahniuk book in there somewhere... wait, nevermind.

cr0sh: Pwnd.

Oh now, hardly. Different culture innit, as I remember it in some parts of the US (and I'm thinking TX in particular) a place built in the '20s is oooold. Anything that adds a little character is welcome.

Heh, yeah, not only in England but the West-Country which is supposed to be England's most "haunted" area outside London. Every inch of ground was soaked in blood at some point. Not only does my old place have a plague-village nearby, just down the road there's the site of King Alfred's battle of Edington, and near that a mass burial ground where they found the skeletons of quite a number of executed Danes. Near that they found their skulls, buried upside down so that their souls would head (heh) down into the earth instead of up into t'sky. If ghosts existed we'd have gone deaf from all the screaming.

I don't believe in ghosts.

\spookiest place I've been in was House on the Rock in Wisconsin, before the place got corporatized
\\maybe the baby had a nosebleed

Korangulation: Couldn't he, you know...sell it?

In this market!?!

Yeah, ghosts. Obviously. It's not that you can't afford it. ['80s playground taunt]Chinny reckon[/'80s playground taunt]

I've no idea why this farkwit bought it in the first place. Chek Whyte (scumbag property developer (tautology ?)) took advantage of pre-existing modern buildings on the site to ruin the environment of a grade 1 listed building with a selection of cheesy noddy boxes that are literally at the end of the hall's lawn. Couple that with only 9 acres of grounds, and the price paid was laughable.

Just came here to see if there was a scooby doo reference. 8th post. Nice work farkers.

Why is it that every time you hear of a haunted house, it's coincidentally a huge mansion that someone owes the bank on?

/"Ghosts!" must be the new 'get out of mortgage free' card

You found House on the Rock spooky? I found it immensely interesting. Especially the infinity room.

Who knew Rob Newman was a Farker?

Oh no, what a personal disaster...

I thought the ghost union had rules in place that ghosts had to move into every home that was upside down on the loan. We're gonna need more ghosts.

No way was that building put up in 1066-1072. The Normans put up castles with narrow arrow slits for windows, not huge monstrosities with big fat openings at ground level. Maybe the outhouse dates from that era...

Think I can get out of my car note with that excuse?

Call TAPS.

"Paranormal experts were unable to solve the problem."

that was the best line of the article.

Yeah. I thought to myself, "Quel surprise!"

Eeh, a lot of these buildings are dated by their foundations. You got to bear in mind that places like that are more aggregations of rooms than single constructions. My local church is Saxon, over a thousand years old, but the knave is Norman, etc. etc. That place looks to have been rebuilt fairly recently, easily within the last couple or three hundred years or so...

Arthur the Sandwich Maker: Oh no, what a personal disaster...

See that nanny state headline ? That's you that is.

Late C18th. If you go down into the cellars, you can see the remains of the fortified watch tower that gives the era it 'dates back to'.

Lovely, milky milkyyy!

Christ, memories...

Late C18th. If you go down into the cellars, you can see the remains of the fortified watch tower that gives the era it 'dates back to'.

Well there you go.

Be vewy quiet. I am hunting a mansion and a yacht.

"dude, make the walls bleed again!"
"i don't have to entertain YOU!"
"c'mon, make with the blood!"
'why are you trying to scare us away? are you afraid of liking us? maybe even loving us?'
"leave me alonnnne..."

I came in here to listen to other farker's ghost stories, and am leaving a bit disappointed.

BOW DOWN TO ZUUULL!!
