Plaintiff Stambovsky purchased a home from Ackley, who was represented by Ellis Realty. After entering the contract but before closing, Stambovsky learned that the house was said to be possessed by poltergeists, reportedly seen by Ackley and her family on numerous occasions over the previous nine years. As a resident of New York City, Stambovsky was unaware that apparitions seen by the Ackleys were reported in the Reader's Digest and the local press of Nyack, New York. In 1989, the house was also included on a five-home walking tour, in which the house was described as "a riverfront Victorian (with ghost)." Stambovsky brought an action for rescission of the contract, arguing that the reputation of the house impaired the present value of the property and its resale value.
