It's sort of unclear, but most states require sellers to fill out a form disclosing what they know about the property.

For example, there was a famous case that went all the way to the State Supreme Court, after a couple found out they purchased a haunted mansion in Nyack, NY. more ›

The Algonquin Hotel, most recently known for its Cat Fashion Shows, is more famously known for its round table. And with Halloween creeping up, psychic medium A.J. Barrera stopped by the historic spot to see if Dorothy Parker & Co. are haunting the place. In the below video, he confirms that there are spirits roaming the halls, noting, "just walking in here the energy was just very intense, my heart was going a mile a minute."

According to 1010 WINS, six people, ages 18 to 39, were arrested for trespassing on the ground of the old Essex Country Hospital Center in Cedar Grove, NJ. The building, once a mental hospital, is being razed for parkland; it has also attracted many trespassers and/or ghost hunters, thanks to being mentioned in Weird NJ (here's the entry, plus video).

What you will find, however, are uniformed officers on patrol and plainclothes detectives conducting surveillance of the property. Trespassers, vandals and mischief makers will be arrested and charged to the fullest extent of the law. We strongly advise individuals to keep off the property as it is being renovated and it can be dangerous." more ›
