This story is not my own. It’s from a realtor named Angie Mazzenga & can be found on the Wall Street Journal or Realtor.com. It does, however, feature a home that was sold right here in our home state of Pennsylvania.
Haunted listings aren’t unheard of. But this one? It came with a full paranormal disclosure. The owners insisted that a ghost named George—yes, he had a name—lived in the attic. He was “mostly friendly,” they said, but he occasionally slammed doors, whispered in hallways, and once locked a plumber in the bathroom.
Angie, ever the professional, listed the home with full transparency. Her description read: “Charming 4-bedroom Victorian with spirit. Paranormal activity reported. Buyer discretion advised. The listing went viral. Paranormal investigators booked showings. TikTokers filmed séances in the foyer. One couple made an offer—on the condition that George would “not interfere with their cats.” But here’s the twist: during an open house, Angie herself heard footsteps upstairs. She went to investigate… and found no one. The attic door was locked from the inside.
Eventually, the house sold—to a buyer who said they “weren’t afraid of ghosts, just bad plumbing.” George, apparently, approved. No paranormal incidents have been reported since.
So what’s the takeaway? In real estate, transparency matters—even if it involves the undead. And sometimes, the strangest listings attract the most enthusiastic buyers.
