Legally a house can be haunted and failure to disclose that the property is haunted can constitute fraudulent misrepresentation and is grounds for recession of contract. Meaning poltergeists are legally treated the same as termites or other pests.

This sounds like a cryptid post but this is actual U.S. case law. 

The issue came up in a case where a family bought a house and later discovered it was on a ghost tour. The buyer had no way of knowing the house was haunted since that’s no something buyer’s usually ask, but the previous owner knew and should have disclosed it. Since the owner had reported paranormal activity in both local and national publications describing at length how  haunted the house was court decided he couldn’t very well say there’s no such thing as ghosts now.

This resulted in legal president that recognizes the existence of haunted houses. Also the court’s opinion is probably the most entertaining legal opinion you will ever read.

i would love to see smth where someone moves into a new house, finds out its haunted, and their first and lasting reaction is im gonna sue the shit out of that bastard who sold me this house

You go to a ghost movie expecting the standard horror fare only to discover it’s actually a legal drama

I am duty bound to tag @ramblingandpie (although I know it’s different branch of law)

(i mean i have some issues with OPs summary of this case, the point wasnt that the house was haunted, it was that it was advertised and marketed as haunted, so the idea of it being haunted affected its value, so it should have been disclosed, whether or not it was actually haunted was not the point, that said it is still one of my favorite cases from property)

Bank of Sapphire Cold?

“A Vending Machine of Sapphire and Clouds”

“The College of Sapphire & Rain” ?? not bad, actually, for the genre…

(i guess September is a big birthday month lol)

A Store of Blue Zircon and Storms…?

A store of Turquoise and clear skies

A City of Diamond and Drizzle 🙂

A factory of opaline and heavy clouds 🙂

An office of pearls and light drizzle that cannot decide whether it’s going to turn into actual rain or just bugger off

A home of pearls and clouds

A Lidl of Citrine and Cloud

Woman says pricey vitamin bottle from Shoppers Drug Mart was filled with dried pasta – CityNews

Bauer-Ross headed back to the Shoppers the next day with her receipt and says the manager offered a full refund, or exchange. She accepted an exchange under the condition that she could open the bottle in the store. When she did, she says it was also filled with pasta.

The flummoxed store manager then snatched a third bottle off the shelf and popped the cap, only to find more dried penne. A fourth bottle yielded a similar result.

ive been laughing uncontrollably about this story for a good five minutes or so

you know at first the manager’s just thinking she took out the pills and added the penne, and when she opened the second bottle in the store his mind just went 

it wasn’t her?

My first suspicion would have been she did it too. 

An exchange would be a surprise.

But this? What the hell.

Holy shit. I’m cackling.

Those vitamins were….

Impastas. 😂😂😂

hey so I work loss prevention for a retailer, and got called up to guest services one day. a guest had brought back a box of legos and they explain to me that “hey, we got this as a gift, but when my son opened it he found this and was very upset!!!!!”

so I opened it and actually had to stop myself from laughing–inside the box were sandwich bags full of plastic army men. the instruction booklet looked normal, the cover was the same ninjago cover that should have been there… except it was just the cover taped onto a curious george coloring book.

even my store manager had to laugh and go “well, that’s a new one.”

ONE TIME I WAS ATTENDING A BALL AT A FAE COURT AND EVERYONR WAS WEARING BALLGOWNS MADE OF WINTER AND SORROW AND SHIT LIKE THAT BUT THEN I SAW A FAE LORD WEARING A TACKY 90S WINDBREAKER AND SPATS AND I KNEW WE WOULD BE FRIENDS
