Today I got an email from Andrea Pilat, a television producer, who’s looking for some haunted real estate to feature in an HGTV show, “Haunted House for Sale”.  I think that she may have thought that I sell haunted real estate - I don’t!  I just collect the stories and share them here.  Anyway, here’s what she’s looking for.  If you can help, I’ll post her email address below, which she invited me to share.

We are looking to feature 3 haunted houses that are for sale, anywhere in the country (preferably in different states).  Each of the 3 stories would include the seller, the buyer, the Realtor, and a local ghost hunting team.  You seem to be very looped in on the haunted real estate scene, so I immediately wanted to reach out and see whether or not you had any clients with haunted homes, or knew of any others in your area or beyond. We hope to begin shooting end of June/ July, so time is of the essence for us.

Do you know of any haunted houses which are on the market (currently for sale or “sale pending”)?  If so, please jot Andrea a note at apilat@kpitv.com. 

If you’re one of the few real estate buyers who’d really like to buy (and not just see) a haunted property, you now have your chance.  Josh Bond, the owner, emailed me a story and some links on this fascinating bit of haunted real estate, so I wanted to share it with my readers. The bid is open until - of course - Halloween 2009.

This is not just your typical old adobe.  It was one a stagecoach stop, store and saloon and hails from the days of the wild west (1850s). Oh, if the walls could speak!  It was damaged in an electrical fire a few years back. Is Bond sure it’s haunted?  He is.  He contacted the West Coast  Ghost and Paranormal Society (WCGPS), which investigated in May 2009 and found ”evidence of voices, shaking door handles and footsteps when no person was present”.  Living there full time, he had the sense that he wasn’t alone, so the findings came as no surprise to him.
