The fourth state that overtly addresses hauntings, New York, is notably also the location of the so-called Ghostbusters case. In that case, the plaintiff wanted to back out of the pending sale and get his deposit back after he found out the house had been widely touted by its owner as a haunted house. A decision ultimately stated that if a seller is broadcasting that a home is haunted, they can’t then say they don’t need to disclose it.

When Julia Park Tracey, 60, and her husband, Patrick Tracey, 63, bought a five-bedroom home in Grass Valley, Calif., in 2020 for $280,000 from Pennie Hughes, who was about 70 years old, she didn’t disclose on any paperwork that the house was haunted. But Julia says she told them it was haunted informally and jokingly, saying things like, “Of course it’s haunted; it’s an old house.”Then, Hughes died on the day she was moving out of the home.

SOME CALIFORNIA visitors head to Carmel-by-the-Sea for its proximity to Pebble Beach and the iconic “17-Mile Drive,” which everyone must do once in his or her life. Other travelers are drawn to the Storybook-style buildings that make the hamlet look like a place where Cinderella would get her glass slipper repaired or Hansel and Gretel might buy a rustic loaf to render into breadcrumbs.

Whimsical Storybook-Style Homes of the West Coast
  + stars: | 2023-04-06 | by ( Erika Mailman | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
After the Spadena house, the trend caught on. Most Storybook-style homes were built on the West Coast in the 1920s and early 1930s.
