Creepy Compound – $7.5 million

📍58 Redstone Circle, Redstone, CO 81623 

This Tudor-style megamansion, built from 1897 to 1902 by industrialist John Cleveland Osgood, boasts 42 rooms and eerie, winding staircases that could rival an M.C. Escher painting. Osgood is said to haunt the halls of his 23,357-square-foot estate, and it doesn’t help that the IRS seized this mansion in 2003 during a Ponzi scheme investigation. But with breathtaking mountain views, those who don’t mind sharing space with a spirit or two may find this compound irresistible.

Haunted Bragging Rights – $1 million 

📍13800 West County House Road, Albion, NY 14411 

Nicknamed “The Pillars” for its commanding Doric columns, this historic mansion is listed on New York’s Haunted History Trail. Built in the 1800s, this estate is home to numerous spirits and even hosts an annual black-tie Titanic-themed dinner. Guests at this bed-and-breakfast are required to sign a waiver promising not to ghost-hunt. Victorian furniture, included in the sale, adds to the spine-tingling atmosphere.

The Haunted Castle House – $195,000

📍841 Highway C, Brumley, MO 65017 

Known as "The Haunted Castle House," this manor sits next to two cemeteries and has served as a doctor’s office, hospital, and funeral home over the years. With five bedrooms, thick cement walls, and plenty of vintage decor (including creepy dolls), this property is ideal for budding ghost hunters. The castle’s turret and gothic features add to the eerie ambiance that’s kept paranormal teams busy for years.

Foreboding Fortress – $45 million

📍450 Brickyard Road, Woodstock, CT 06281

This stone-and-concrete fortress spans 35,000 square feet on 126 acres and could make any vampire feel at home. Built by the descendant of a 19th-century steel magnate, the castle features turrets and towers that give it a true gothic vibe. Complete with eight bedrooms and the kind of atmosphere you’d expect to see in a Dracula film, this chateau is a luxury retreat for those with a taste for the supernatural.

Moody Mansion – $2.9 million

📍115 N. River Blvd., Wichita, KS 67203

Styled after a Richardsonian Romanesque castle, this mansion boasts a 250-year-old staircase, a 650-year-old Grecian fireplace, and intricate woodworking done by an inmate from an Irish debtors’ prison. With 14 bedrooms, 14 bathrooms, and ominous Gothic detailing, this home exudes old-world mystery and eerie elegance, ideal for those inspired by classic horror stories.

Mysterious Manor – $199,900

📍1023 Edmond St., Saint Joseph, MO 64501

Decorated in a Victorian “séance-chic” style, this affordable four-bed, three-bath Victorian home has the classic shadowy hallways, dark wood accents, and intense wallpaper patterns to make it fit right into a horror movie. Complete with claw-foot tubs and period-appropriate decor, this 1887 home offers eerie charm at a reasonable price.

Supernatural Setting – $1.3 million 

📍626 N. Forest Service Road #199, Payson, AZ 85541

Nestled in an isolated forest, this two-bed, one-bath log cabin might look serene by day, but its remote setting takes on a sinister vibe by moonlight. The spacious hearth and sloped-ceiling bedrooms may seem cozy—until the shadows lengthen. Those with a taste for eerie solitude will appreciate the secluded feel, while skeptics might just see The Blair Witch Project all over again.

No Sanctuary Here – $125,000

📍349 N. Monroe St., Lapeer, MI 48446

This 1895 church-turned-residence still has its original pews, sanctuary, and stained glass. The peeling paint, atmospheric lighting, and Gothic architecture lend it a haunted charm that’s both unsettling and unique. If you don’t mind living among spooky relics, this church conversion is an affordable and unforgettable option.
