Two research jobs run in parallel: the ordinary one every buyer owes a house, and the one specific to a property with a history. Here is what each covers and where each stops.
California answers this in writing, which is unusual. There is a three year window, a separate rule with no time limit, and one subsection almost nobody quotes that matters more than the rest.
There is no instrument that measures a haunted reputation, only things people have said. The useful first step for a seller is not verifying a haunting - it is sorting what is actually being reported from what has only ever been repeated.
Most of what gets reported as paranormal activity has a mundane explanation sitting right underneath it. Before a seller decides a house has a reputation worth addressing, it’s worth ruling out the house itself.
A seller aware of a reputation has two real options: raise it on their own terms, or let it surface on a buyer’s. Which one is right depends on how public the story already is, and how much of it is actually documented.
A look at what actually happens when a homeowner requests Lindsey’s free, in-person paranormal investigation - how it’s scheduled, what a visit typically involves, and how findings get shared back, honestly and without hype.
This isn’t a feelings-based walkthrough. It’s a total-coverage approach built on instruments, logged honestly, one device at a time - because a REM Pod going off and nothing else is still worth writing down exactly as it happened.
What it means for a real estate agent - not a hobbyist - to offer an in-person paranormal investigation, and how pairing that service with real estate expertise actually helps buyers and sellers.
