Couple claim they are being shocked out of their home

[Locutus]

POUND RIDGE, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) — A couple says a literally shocking discovery is forcing them from their multimillion dollar home in Westchester County.

CBS 2′s Lou Young watched Monday as Millie Mendelson packed her bags in preparation for abandoning her home.

She and her husband, Harold, said they’re being driven away by unpredictable jolts of stray voltage, and they want the owners of the substation – New York State Electric and Gas — to buy them out. The Mendelsons have filed a lawsuit against the utility for $2.3 million, which they said is the value of the home they’ve lived in for 25 years.

“My husband bought it so that he could enjoy it for the property; we bought it for the property,” Millie Mendelson told 1010 WINS. “We had barns and horses and we can’t have them anymore, can’t have animals. It’s very depressing.”

The couple described the shocks as sudden, sharp and jarring, especially around water. The couple also claims they had to euthanize their dog because the voltage made her chew the skin off her legs.

The fact that the utility company put in shock blockers shows that they found the claims to be real. And, the best way to determine if it is real is to do testing by a licensed entity.

If these people can afford a 23 million dollar property, they can surely afford appropriate testing by licensed people.

Does the noise in my head bother you?

My theory is, they cannot sell their home now that the bottom has fallen out of the housing market, so they are hoping the courts will solve the problem for them.

Otherwise, they'd just be suing to have it fixed.
