Ghosts and real estate are something that tend not to go too good together, and this is being taken into account by the state of Arkansas legislators as new laws are coming out that will make full disclosure of real estate agents ghostly experiences a must.

Here is a snippet from the news item:

"Tim Grooms, a real estate lawyer for the Arkansas Realtors Association, said a “ghost-buster bill” prevents buyers from suing sellers and their agents on the grounds of paranormal activity.

The 2003 law, Arkansas Code 17-10-101, protects real estate agents for failing to disclose “any fact or circumstance or suspicion of the existence of any fact or circumstance that indicates that the real property is psychologically impacted.” The law defines a “psychologically impacted” property as one that “was at any time suspected to have been the site of a homicide, suicide or felony.” Jeb Joyce, a lawyer with the Quattlebaum, Grooms, Tull & Burrow law firm, said “psychological impact” covers hauntings.

Ethan Nobles, a spokesman for the Arkansas State Realtors Association, said such a disclosure might seem extreme, but a real estate agent has a responsibility to the buyer."
