  If you've come to the Haunted Travels site you probably enjoy visiting places that offer a chance for a ghostly encounter.  But what if you want to live in a haunted house for a constant opportunity for chills and thrills?                                                      

There are always people looking for a haunted property, and those looking to sell a haunted house.  One of the obstacles to finding such a home is that each state has different laws regulating what needs to be disclosed about a property.  You may be aware that, for example, if a murder was committed on site it needs to be disclosed to all potential buyers.  Some states had laws requiring that if a house had a commonly known reputation in the area for being haunted, that had to be disclosed.  Some of these states have actually changed that ruling in the last decade or two. In Massachusetts the law is  basically "don't ask, don't tell."  If you specifically ask the selling agent about paranormal activity they have to tell you if they know of any.  Of course, the seller may have conveniently forgotten to mention it to them, so you may want your agent to find out some information from the seller.  This is more of an issue if you don't want any uninvited guests in your home after you move in.

If you are looking to buy a haunted house, you need to let your realtor know.  For the reasons discussed in the paragraph above, it may not be easy to identify houses in your area that are haunted unless they have had some publicity. Your agent may need to do some discreet investigation.  It is also worth reminding you that you want an agent who is openminded and that you feel comfortable with in setting such unusual requirements.  You also will probably need to be patient - these homes will be difficult to scout out and finding one may take a long time.

There are some web sites that have pages where people looking to buy or sell a haunted house can provide information (without giving an address) and may be of help to you.
