Want to buy a haunted house?

Or perhaps, as is more likely to be the case for most people (but not our faithful readers, I'm sure!), avoid such a purchase? Check out this press release, Psychic Teaches Property Buyers/Renters How To Spot Haunted Properties Before Investing:

From time immemorial, property seekers have been plagued with a big problem - unknowingly buying properties that later turned out to be haunted. Investing in property can drain the buyer’s bank account. Worries about monthly mortgage payments or rents are one thing but if the property turned out to be haunted, it would be a total investment disaster. Putting it back immediately on the market would raise suspicion, not to mention a loss of money. If only the buyer knew it was haunted before putting money in it. [...] The author has been asked countless times if it really is possible for a non-psychic to detect haunted properties before buying and hence avoid the problems that come with them. His answer is: “If the mind can be quiet and if the person can interpret what it’s trying to say, it is indeed possible.”

But can the mind tell you if the seller's being honest about the age of the roof?
