(New Jersey Press Media) No one among the living may ever want to reside in the house at the corner of Lowell and Terrace avenues again.
That is the fear of the landlord who has filed a new complaint in state Superior Court against a couple who fled the three-bedroom ranch in the middle of the night after living there for just one week, because they say the house is haunted.
Dr. Richard Lopez, a well-known orthodontist in Ocean County who owns the property, has filed a lawsuit against the family for at least $15,000.

Their story has received international media attention since it was first reported in the Courier-Post on April 13.
