Mark Cavanaugh: 我和妻子在位于纽约州尼亚克的一栋老房子里经历了多次超自然事件,例如感觉到有人坐在床上,看到女性鬼魂的轮廓等。这些事件并非幻觉,因为我的妻子也证实了类似的经历。我们一家都经历过类似的事件,例如床会在我们起床前震动。这些经历对我们来说是真实存在的,并非虚构。 Cynthia Cavanaugh: 我母亲在购买这栋维多利亚式老房子时,邻居的孩子就警告过这是一栋闹鬼的房子。此后,我们一家都经历过各种超自然现象,例如看到穿着殖民时期服装的男子,以及穿着白衣的女子在梳头。这些事件并非虚构,而是我们真实经历过的。我母亲对此并不害怕,并且记录下了这些事件。 Phoebe Judge: 本集讲述了Helen Ackley出售她位于纽约州尼亚克的闹鬼老房子的故事。这栋房子因为闹鬼而闻名,最终导致了著名的“捉鬼敢死队判决”。这个判决对房地产法律产生了深远的影响,也引发了人们对超自然现象和房产价值之间关系的思考。 Richard Ellis: 我是这栋房子的房产经纪人。我知道房主Helen Ackley经常谈论房子里的鬼魂,但我没有向买家Stambovskys夫妇披露此事。这栋房子最终以低于市场价的价格售出,因为买家在交易完成后才得知房子闹鬼。 Lior Strahilevitz: Stambovskys夫妇在购买房子后才得知房子闹鬼,他们试图取消交易,但房主拒绝退款。最终,法院裁定,由于房主之前公开宣传房子闹鬼,买家有权解除合同。这个案例强调了卖方在房产交易中的披露义务,即使是关于超自然现象的描述。 Patrice Stambovsky: 我们在购买房子后才得知房子闹鬼,这让我们感到非常不安,尤其考虑到我们即将出生的孩子。我们不想让孩子生活在一栋被认为闹鬼的房子里,因此我们试图取消交易。 Randall Bell: 房产的声誉和公众认知会极大地影响其价值,即使房产本身没有物理缺陷。“Stambovsky案”为这种观点提供了法律依据,即房产的负面声誉(例如闹鬼)可以构成合理的理由来解除合同。
