Just 3 hours from Utica, there's a beautiful yet legally haunted New York Manor for sale, and they just dropped the price by $50,000.

Attention all ghost hunters, how would you like to own a legit haunted house? A famous possessed property in Nyack, New York, is on the market again. You could own the 15 room 4,600 square foot single-family dwelling for a mere $1,850,000, and that's a bargain as you're buying a piece of history.

Helen Ackley owned the Queen Anne Victorian haunted house at 1 LaVeta Place in Nyack. She was very outspoken about the poltergeists and phantom footsteps at all hours, slamming doors, and violently shaking beds, but also claimed it was a peaceful co-existence. According to Ackley via the Nyack News and Views, the disembodied visitors were a Revolutionary War-era couple, Sir George and Lady Margaret.

When Ackley was selling the house, she failed to mention the ghosts to Jeffrey Stambovsky, the prospective buyer in 1989. When Stambovsky found out the house was haunted, he rescinded his offer. The case went to New York’s Supreme Court, and Stambovsky v. Ackley became commonly known as the Ghostbusters ruling.

In 1991, the New York Supreme Court ruled that the home was officially haunted, and Stambovsky was released from his contract as Ackley should have reported the paranormal activity. This unique case is frequently printed in textbooks on contracts and property law and is often cited by other courts.
