While the thought of buying a genuine haunted house is an exciting proposition for many people, it is important that you do your homework when looking at prospective properties to make sure that you’re getting the real deal and the best haunted house for your dollar.
Don’t just rely on advertisements when you’re looking for that perfect haunted house; take the time to ask around. Many hauntings get talked about in the neighbourhood, so make sure that you ask around to find out about any possible places. It can also be useful to look for haunted houses for sale on the internet; it’s safe to say that you can find anything there is to be found on the internet.
The first thing that you need to consider is what kind of haunted house you want; haunted houses come in many shapes and sizes varying from modern architecture to historic mansions and everything in between. The best way to find a haunted version of your favourite architecture is to look in an area that has a lot of your favourite style; there’s bound to be some disenfranchised spirits lingering around somewhere.
There are many signs of a haunted house, though you will want to choose carefully which signs are most desirable for a property before you buy it. While some people are delighted by a home that creaks and moans at all hours, others are looking specifically for self-stacking kitchen chairs or animated trees in the yard. Beware of haunted houses that have bad smells or bleeding walls, you’ll find that otherworldly smells permeate your furniture and a home that bleeds spectral blood can stain your decor most unpleasantly.
Make sure that you talk to the neighbors of any haunted house that you’re looking at buying to make sure that they look upon the property at least somewhat favorably; no one wants neighbors who might be tempted to drag an exorcist over when you’re away on holidays to purify your home and drive all your nifty ghosts out if you want them to stay.
While a haunted house can be a dream home for many people, it is vitally important to make sure that you do some serious research into the history of the home you’re looking to buy before you sign on the dotted line; you don’t want any nasty surprises after you’ve moved in and it comes to light that your home is built on the site of a medieval asylum or used to be a sacred forest. Hauntings that take place on sites such as these can be particularly malevolent and are as such not great places to live; the renovation and exorcism bills can be prohibitive.
Just as if you were to look for a house without a ghostly presence, it is well worth the effort to take your time and do your homework before you buy a haunted house, make sure that it fits all your family’s needs before you buy, you’ll be happy you made the extra effort.
