In this episode, we throw open the courtroom doors and step into the world of the supernatural—where ghost stories don’t just haunt our homes, they show up in legal briefs.
🎙️ Special Guest: Naomi Ryan
Criminal barrister, legal historian, and connoisseur of the macabre, Naomi Ryan joins me to explore real-life court cases where phantoms took the stand (figuratively, of course)—from Adele’s notorious “unsellable” home, to ancient lawsuits over poltergeists in 16th-century France.
🕯️ Whether it’s a haunted property sale, a medium accused of manipulating a will, or New York’s highest court officially declaring a home “legally haunted,” this episode dives into the eerie intersection of law and the paranormal.
👁️🗨️ You'll discover:
Real-life ghostly legal disputes from the UK, France, and the US
How courts have ruled on spectral claims—can a ghost reduce your rent?
Why hauntings disturb us so deeply—and how the law tries to make sense of the chaos
So grab your gavel (and your sage) as we ask: What happens when belief meets the bench?
