Purchaser of home brought action against vendor and broker for rescission and damages. The Supreme Court, New York County, Lehner, J., dismissed, and purchaser appealed. The Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Rubin, J., held that: (1) vendor was estopped to deny existence of poltergeists on the premises, so that house was haunted as a matter of law; (2) equitable remedy of rescission was available; (3) vendor who had undertaken to inform the public at large about the existence of poltergeists had a duty to inform purchaser; (4) haunting is not a condition which can and should be ascertained by reasonable inspection of the premises; but (5) there was no cause of action against the broker.
