CROSBY — Jurors serving in

found that the developers didn’t
intentionally mislead the
Haneys. *
« The story told in court sounded
like the script for a remake of
the movie “Poltergeist,” which
concerned a family’s struggle to
cope with ghosts who revolted
because the family's home had
been built over their graves.
The issues raised In the trial
lie far from those customarily
litigated in a court of law, but
they touch on matters of abidtrfg

ghost stories in seising public at-
