Ghost Inspection

[gfitzgerald]

I get a call today from a buyer wanting a inspection on a 1933 triplex. Started out like most do, how much $ what do you inspect, how long does it take ? The client lived in the building many years ago for several years. Now the good part, when she lived there she swears there is a ghost or two as strange things went on all the time, lights turning on by them self doors locking and then unlocking. Her next question was do you inspect for ghosts ? My answer, well of coarse but I will need to charge extra so let me get back to you. The client is serious and a Teacher in the local high school. So question is what should I charge ??

Should this person be allowed to teach?

I did one, to prove there was no ghosts to an elderly lady. Seriously. She swore someone was using her water and living in her attic. I charged her by the hour.

The property is a REO no disclosures. A neighbor said at least four people have died there

Tell her you'll need to bring your *special* camera.

Just read about Harry Houdini.
He made a career debunking gypsies and mediums.

They used to put rulers up the sleeves to raise tables.

I just have to ask... when you do find evidence of paranormal activity in the home, how are you going to report it, and who are you going to recommend to her "Who to call"???

id put them in a water sampler test kit bottle and take them with me. nothing a little baking soda and vinegar trick wouldn't take care of

If you're doing something to reassure someone, that alone may be worth it so don't think you aren't providing a real service. While you're in there, feel free to inspect some other things and only charge her your normal price for those basic inspections.

good grief

Maybe we're missing the boat on another ancillary inspection here. Home Inspections by day, Paranormal Inspections by night. Seperate web sites and tools, like Holy Water and Ouija Boards, but everything else can overlap (strange sounds, doors opening on their own, cold zones, etc.) I bet there's enough nut jobs out there it make it worth the time...

Don't forget your proton pack. And if you see Slimer, say hi for me.

[Tim Spargo]

Hmmm. She lived there... swears the presence of ghosts and now wants to buy it. I think I'd inspect the structure and recommend her to hire a specialist for the ghosts....I'd be concerned about the phone calls later that the ghosts caused damage or who knows.

You could always sub it out, although there may be some travel charges? twitter.com/ParanormalHI <-- I just googled this... I have NO idea. YMMV
