Shr Makes A Haunted Investment Work for Her

This sharp lady knows how to make her haunted real estate work for her..
"Haunted Real Estate Is Scary Good Investment

(Aug. 27) -- For some people, there's not a ghost of a chance they'd ever buy a haunted property. But for others, like Annie Wilder, a copywriter in Hastings, Minn., haunted real estate can be a scary good investment.

Back in 1994, she bought a beautiful Victorian home that she suspected was spooked before she made the purchase.

"Actually, it didn't feel spooky, just out of time," Wilder told AOL News. "After we closed, the previous owner's daughter did ask if we had had any weird experiences, such as cupboards opening and closing on their own."
Turns out, that did happen. In fact, Wilder had purchased a home that was literally Grand Central Station for spirits and ghosts.

"That's what the resident spirit -- the previous owner, a German man -- told a psychic who investigated the house," Wilder said.
However, she didn't mind. She set the house up to respect the spirits who were there and established ground rules for those that didn't want to toe her line.

"We're very respectful of the ghosts," she said. "Anyone who moves into a haunted property should announce their presence and let the ghosts know you're there. When we moved in, we removed all the carpets and curtains -- which looked like they were stuck in the 1960s, but we promised him that we'd make it nice.

"On the other hand, I have no problem asking spirits to leave if they are rude to my family, friends and pets," Wilder said.

In the process, Wilder made her haunted house a true home -- and found a way to supplement her income in ways she'd never imagined..."

Now that's a good attitude to take! Live and let live... or let be at least. And ask them to leave if they're rude to family or pets. That's the proper way to treat everyone I think, spirit or not.
