Summary: In this special Halloween episode of The Perfect Property, you’ll hear from three different guests about their experience with creepy properties, haunted houses in Georgia, and ghosts. Whether or not you believe haunted houses and ghosts are real, they give us the creeps! While other states have different rules, Georgia is a “buyer beware” state. This means the buyer and buyer’s agent have to do all due diligence about a property — that includes if there was a murder or kidnapping and other scary events!
Our host, Juli St George, talks first with Keren Barr who discovered that her house is haunted after moving into it. She talks about the strange smells, noises, and movement that she and her family notice and, in the end, have grown accustomed to.
Next, we hear from Milt Thomas who intentionally bought a creepy house, complete with baby doll parts, knife marks in the doors, and creepy noises. He has turned it into a museum of sorts and holds special events at this unique property.
Lastly, Juli hosts Boo Newell, who runs Decatur Ghost Tours. Boo tells listeners how she sees and communicates with ghosts and explains the difference between haunted houses and houses with spirits. She also gives basic information about her ghost tours and finishes by offering advice for someone buying or selling a creepy house and anyone doing clearings.

“My bedroom door is covered in hack marks from either a knife or a cleaver.”
“In California, for example, you have to disclose if someone has died in the house for three full years. In Georgia, specifically in Georgia, it’s a ‘buyer beware’ state and what that means is that the buyer has to do all of the due diligence to find out about the house. If there was a murder, if there was a crime scene, if there were deaths, if anything creepy was going on in the house, the buyer really has to find that out themselves.”
