I want out of this house, my 4 yr old has been saying for a year that he has seen a ghost and I didn't believe him until I found out about the murder and then storage of the deceased in my home. I wish I could sue for all my money back but I don't know if thats possible.

There is a clause in the Realtor Ethics Guide which states that full disclosure of apparitions and hauntings must be made. If this was known before you bought the property, you can sue the former owner for not disclosing this information.
Most states's disclosure laws don't deal with the forms the deceased take in the afterlife, but they do address death as a stigma.
Real estate attorneys say that agents should disclose any deaths that occur within three years of the sale, and the California Association of Realtors advises agents to do so. The association also advises agents to disclose any death, no matter how long ago it occurred, if the seller asks.

There are places that have laws about selling houses where murders took place but not mentioning the fact, I'm just not sure where.
I'd investigate and talk to your real estate board or a lawyer and see if it's possible.
I lived in an apt where a murder took place, the rug was coming up , and the landlord finally fessed up. I had my local minister bless the place, I sprinkled salt along all the walls and said the Lord's Prayer and told the woman to go to the light. I didn't have a problem after that.
Children are often more ' sensitive' to ghosts and spirits of dead people, many people think that's who imaginary friends are. However he'll take his cue from how you react, if you're afraid he'll be afraid. I'd get a priest or pastor to bless the place and then sprinkle salt along the outside edge walls and tell whomever there to go to the light.

Get your 4 year some Ghostbusters gear and tell him that because of it the ghost is gone. If you try to sell, it seems to me that you will have to disclose the murder, the storage of the body and the allegations of paranormal activity. Make sure that your 4 year cannot get FX on his TV on the nights that they show X-Files re-runs.

Well, if this is a true story, you could call Ghost Busters! Ha! Kidding of course, but you could call your Realtor, and ask them if they knew anything about the murders or if they had any other complaints about the previous residents of the home (if there where any). You could call a Ghost Hunter (try contacting TAPS), and/or you could consider calling a Catholic Priest to cleanse your home. I hope this helps!

Sell and move. What's the problem? Or, you could try to sell your story, make some money first and then sell the house. There are people who actually want haunted houses, so it is not as if you couldn't get any money for it.
By the way, how was Halloween?

Check with your local attorney general's office and board of realtors to see if there is a law in your state regarding stigmatized homes. Some states require such disclosures, while others do not. If that is the case in your state, you would of course be required to disclose the fact to any new buyer.

For REAL,
To sell tickets, or call that tv show that investigates that stuff,
I am not kidding.
I realize you are scared and concerned for your Son, so relocate
if you can with some relatives, but man, have you seen the ghost.
People are dying to see things like that.....You could possibly rent it out based on that....where are you...how close.....my Sister is into that sort of stuff...has a full room of books etc.....
email me...please...I am serious.....

My family and I have been living with a spirit in out house for the last 13 years. It took us much time to get use to the strange goings on in our home. Voices, lights going on and off, t.v. turning on, locked doors opening and many, many more things. We are lucky in that our visitor is not harmful and we have learned to live comfortable with it.
Have you looked into contacting professionals who might be interested in coming in to investigate your home and try and help you. I would imagine with the history you are not comfortable with the possible negative energy in your home. Try researching the Internet for this type of subject and see what you find. I'm sorry I can't tell you more or help you to figure out who is real and who is not in this type of subject.

Wow, this question brings back memories. I used to do Loss Mitigation for a mortgage company and I handled a case once where the mortgagor was requesting that we take the property back and release them of their obligation (A deed-in-lieu of foreclosure basically) because “it’s haunted and we fear for our lives”. Their request was denied. I suppose you could give that a whirl and see if your mortgage company would agree to it, but be prepared to hear ‘no’.
I agree that you need to check the laws of your state regarding stigmatized homes.
