WHAT???????????????????????

To anyone who is interested, it is illegal, in NewYork, to sell a house if not told about a haunting.

i would like to visit the house it look like it could be true

Sorry Josh you are wrong, Real Property law was amended an owner or occupant DOES NOT have to disclose a house is the site of a murder, suicide or haunting or any felonies…….the real property law it was amended in 1995.

Does anyone know where this house is located? Also, why did the state amend the real property law for hauntings?

Yea i lived in New city, which is right next to nyack and my mom lived/ where my aunt lives now/ was right next to that house i have seen that and so has almost everybody who has stayed at the house next door..you can see it all over the street revolutionary war vets wandering the streets

yes i know the house i live 2 streets away its off n. broadway laveta pl.

I used to go to school in Nyack and we kind of had a informal club because the area has so many hanuts. This house is def. haunted among other thing in the area.

I forget where the house fully is. The house used to belong to my Grandmother when the court case was brought up.

My family still has many stories about the house, and all newspaper and news footage.

I’d really love to get the house back in the family, if I’m able too.

my mom grew up on the street two houses up where i still live with my family.

the address is 1 laveta place
its a hot pink house at the bottom of a dead end.

I remember reading about this story in the former Rockland Journal, now simply renamed The Journal News. And yes, this story is really true.

At the time, the Judge ruled that the former owners of the house knew it was haunted when they sold it. So when the new owners were frequented with visits by Revolutionary Soldiers, the Judge declared that the former owners should have disclosed that the house was haunted, and the sale was deemed null and void.

However, since that Court ruling, legislators in Rockland County altered the Real Estate Laws, and under the new laws it is legal not to report leaky pipes, termites, and even a haunted state, as long as the seller pays an upfront fine of five thousand dollars for not disclosing all problems.

Anyway, I’ve always found this story interesting, especially due to the fact that a court ruled that a house was really haunted. And I would like to see the house myself if I’m ever up that way.

The Revolutionary War was my favorite war to study, are these spirits aggressive at all? I think i will try to pay them a respectful visit, and maybe even thank them….

My father Sid was a good friend of George and my family was invited one weekend (im guessing 30 years ago…1978?? I was probably 10 or so.). We enjoyed listening to the Ackley family tell of the strange happenings. We were witness to a door suddenly moving during dinner. It was dismissed as just the friendly ghost. It didnt freak me out too much because they were so insistant that this ghost was so friendly. I could actually “feel” that this was a good one. Later in life in Maryland I had an encounter with a not so friendly haunted place…Ill save that for another time.
