New HGTV YouTube Series Explores Haunted Homes in America

There's a new YouTube series that HGTV is introducing to their viewers. It's called Would You Buy This Haunted House?

It seems pretty self explanatory, right?

Psychic Steffi Hill is traveling across America "searching for the most unique and allegedly haunted homes currently on the market." HGTV says it's "Part real estate tour, part paranormal investigation."

Sounds spooky! Even spookier? The series is kicking off with a home right here in the Hudson Valley.

It's a 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom home that survived the revolution. Needless to say, the house has seen some history...and is probably haunted.

You can watch the series below:

We need to know, after watching the video above, would you move into that Hudson Valley haunted house?

Did You Know New York Has a Law About Selling Haunted Homes?

There's a court case from 1991 Stambovsky v. Ackley, which explains that if you're selling a home that you believe to be haunted, you must disclose that information.

The Ackley family owned a beautiful Victorian home in West Nayak. They believed said home was haunted and even sold tickets for visitors to visit their haunted home.

After several years in the home the Ackley family put the house on the market, and the house sold. But

Cornell Law explains the case in detail, they say "This is an appeal of a decision by the Supreme Court of New York" adding:

The plaintiff, Mr. Stambovsky, sued to rescind a contract to purchase a house from the defendant, Ms. Ackley. The reason Mr. Stambovsky wanted to rescind the contract was because, unbeknownst to him at the time of the sale, the house was haunted.

On their website Cornell states that the Supreme Court dismissed his complaint, but  adds:

The Appellate Court reinstated the cause of action, arguing that the seller had a duty to disclose the reputation of the house to an out-of-town buyer.

It's a really interesting case, if you want to read more details check out the Cornell Law website.
