10 Ghost Sightings With Bizarre Consequences

Lowes Cottage Couple Sues For Undisclosed Haunting

In 1994, an English couple named Andrew and Josie Smith bought a century-old house in Upper Mayfield. They soon found out that the house was hunted as the furniture would move on its own and visions would often appear. As the ghosts wouldn’t leave them alone, the family decided to leave but not before suing the previous owners for not telling them. They even brought in a priest into the court to testify that the house was hunted.

House Is Legally Declared Haunted

The case of Stambovsky v. Ackley is one of the rare cases where a house was declared hunted by ghosts. In 1989 Jeffrey Stambovsky bought a house in Nyack, New York that had been occupied by Helen Ackley. The house had been hunted by ghosts ever since Ackley moved in but she never shared that information with the buyer of the house. Stambovsky then filed a lawsuit against Ackley and actually won, the court ruling the house was actually haunted. He was allowed out of his contract, and his down payment on the house was returned.
