Halloween is just around the corner and for some people, owning a real haunted house is the only way to live.
Haunted houses are virtually everywhere with many of them abandoned or rarely seen with occupants. According to Trulia, as horrifying as it may sound, these places eventually end up being listed as for sale and surprisingly they are not as cheap as many would think. For people who want to own one, here are some of the properties that have recently been put up in the market:
$7.5 million Colorado mansion. This massive property has 42 Tudor-style rooms and was built between 1897 and 1902. The sprawling compound measures 23,357-squar-foot and was once owned by industrialist John Cleveland Osgood. What makes this creepy is the fact that Osgood died in his home and reports abound that his ghost continue to haunt the halls of the mansion. The property was seized by the IRS in 2003 as it was tied to a Ponzi scheme and is now waiting for its next intrepid owner.
$1 million New York house called "The Pillars." This house is currently serving as a bed and breakfast with most of its clientele eager ghost hunters or just a curious lot wanting to know more about the history of the house. It belongs to the list of attractions of the Haunted History Trail of New York State. The house covers 13,286-square-foot of space and for the lucky buyer of the estate the Victorian furniture goes along with the purchase. The house has been a hospital and a funeral home in the past.
$45 million Castle in Woodstock, Connecticut. This ultra-expensive property has 35,000 square feet of living space contained in a 126.6-acre expanse of land and is perfectly described as a fortress. It was built by the great-grandson of a steel baron in the 19th century.
