In this episode, we’re touring the most infamous haunted houses for sale in 2026. From Gilded Age mansions with unsolved mysteries to cinematic icons and colonial homesteads frozen in time, these are real estate listings where the "resident spirits" come with the deed. Whether you're a paranormal investigator, a dark history enthusiast, or a bold homebuyer looking for a deal on a cursed property, these homes offer more than just square footage. Featured Properties in this Video: 📍 The Poltergeist House (Simi Valley, CA) – For the first time in 45 years, the actual home from the 1982 classic hit the market. Sold in late 2024 for $1.28 million, we look at the new owner’s ambitious plans to turn this suburban "portal" into a meticulously recreated film-set rental. Is the house actually "clean," or did the Ghost Adventures crew find something the listing agent didn't? 📍 The Enslin Mansion (Troy, NY) – This Lansingburgh landmark has been in the same family for six generations and is currently valued at the spiritual number of $444,444. Known for housing nine distinct spirits and a basement with a dark secret involving a 1930s supper club, this is a "turnkey" haunt for the right investor. 📍 The Lumber Baron Inn (Denver, CO) – Explore the epicenter of one of Denver’s most famous cold cases. We dive into the history of the Valentine Suite and the 1970 mystery that still lingers in the hallways of this grand Queen Anne mansion. Is the $200,000 price cut enough to tempt a new owner? 📍 The Parson Smith Homestead (Windham, ME) – A rare 1764 colonial time capsule sitting on 124 acres. This property recently hit the market after 40 years as a museum. Discover why the original family "footsteps" are still heard on the second floor and why the nearby family crypt has a reputation for knocking back. 📍 The Ann Starrett Mansion (Port Townsend, WA) – The "Grand Dame" of the Pacific Northwest. Known for its 70-foot solar calendar tower and a resident "Nanny" ghost who polices guest behavior, this Victorian masterpiece is a masterclass in architecture and atmosphere.
