Haunted Lawsuit

This is one of the strangest lawsuits I've heard of. It goes to show you just about sue over anything. From Telegraph.co.uk Mar. 31, 2008: In Rome, Italy a couple is suing previous owners of a house because they say it is haunted and the previous owners did not let them know. From the article here is phenomena happening there:

"The ghosts started their haunting on the first night," said Mr Bastianelli, a former long-distance lorry driver. "I woke suddenly at around one or two in the morning. There was water seeping from under the bathroom door.

"The hot water tap was pouring out boiling water and the room was full of steam. My wife was stunned, because she had turned off everything before going to bed."

He claimed that by next morning, malevolent spirits had left "luminous green mould all over the walls".

After that things got worse. He said the sound of chains rattling had alarmed his 10-year-old daughter, and claimed that the lawnmower and his wife's car had spontaneously combusted.

According to the article the house is built close to a disused cemetery and there was even an exorcism there at the house. Like I said the previous owners are now being sued because they did not let the current owners know the house is haunted. There is even an Italian law that says you have to notify the current owners if there is anything wrong with the house. Well, maybe, the previous owners did not see any paranormal activity to report. I've watched enough of Ghost Hunters to know that paranormal activity is sporadic. I would think the current owners would have to prove that there was paranormal activity when the previous owners lived there and that they knew about it and deliberately did not tell the current owners about it. Then there is the issue about the activity being paranormal. You would have to have different "Ghost Hunter" teams investigate the house. Maybe, that Ghost Hunter International team that is on the SciFi channel could come out.
