Vacancy Reporting

Report a Ghost

See a building that looks vacant? Tell us about it.

We do not enter buildings. We do not knock on doors. We research legally and reach out by mail.

⚠️ Important Rules

✅ Report from the public sidewalk — always
✅ Take photos from public property — always
❌ Do not enter the building — ever (without explicit owner invitation)
❌ Do not knock on doors — we contact owners by mail
❌ Do not photograph people inside or near the building
❌ Do not publish addresses of private residences without clear vacancy evidence

GHOSTO's founder once knocked on a door at an unusual hour in a creative spirit. The police were called. This page is his redemption arc.

🏚️ Tell us about the building

Address (if known)

What did you observe?

When did you observe this?

What type of building does it appear to be?

Any additional observations? (signs of vacancy, what you think it could become, etc.)

Your name (optional)

Your email (for follow-up, never published)

Photo upload (optional, from public property only)

Only upload photos you took from public sidewalks or streets. No interior shots.

I confirm this observation was made from public property and I have not entered or attempted to enter this building.

What happens next?

1. Our Ghost Hunter team reviews your report (we verify it was from public property)
2. We research the owner via public records (county assessor, GIS data)
3. We draft a friendly letter to the owner (GHOSTO Ghostwriter AI does this)
4. We send the letter by certified mail, explaining GHOSTO and what the owner might gain
5. If the owner responds positively, we help them list the space
6. The building gets a GHOSTO listing. The ghost is resurrected.

This process takes 4–8 weeks. We do not spam owners. We do not call repeatedly. One friendly letter. One chance to say yes.
