Haunted house? You need to know who to call...but more importantly, you need to know what you need to disclose when it's time to sell. Pull up a chair, grab a blanket and a candied apple, and get ready for the story of a ghostly sale and the court case that followed. From hauntings to other kinds of stigmatized properties, Maura and Cheryl dig into disclosure, starting with the New York court case that started it all, the infamous "Ghostbusters Ruling."
