I actually personally know Chris mark and have been inside the castle. It’s not abandoned and really incredible. My lifetime friend lived in the large house on the same property which you can easily see from the air to the left of the mansion facing it from the road. Sadly it burned down a few years back. The taxes really aren’t all that crazy in Woodstock CT and Chris mark himself lives there currently with his family

I just bought a 6bd 4b stone home in the country near the northern border. It was built in 1834 and thankfully has been kept in excellent condition by the people who have owned it. It stayed in the family for over a hundred years. Renovations have taken place and great care has been given. I could only afford it because of its location. The floors could use a sanding and resealing and the gardens are a bit overgrown, but it is in excellent condition. It has a history with the Underground Railroad. Their are names carved in the attic rafters. The tunnel collapsed long ago. Im not sure why this dream was able to come true but I know it is imperative that my gratitude is shown by giving back to the community we've joined and the world in everyway I can.

99% of the homeless would only trash them. Besides, these homes arent located where homelessness is a particular problem. Would you suggest they be moved to accommodate the inner city homeless using taxpayer money? Where would they be placed? On property also at taxpayer´s expense? How would they be maintained? Who would pay for the running water, electricity, etc?

Owning a home like these is strictly for the wealthy. I own a 120 year old wooden house, and the problems are amazingly expensive. The chimney is leaning because the underlying foundation has previous termite damage. $45k. The upstairs floor joists are dry rotted and the floor is sagging, leading to the downstairs room having a sagging ceiling, which has caused the drywall and molding to crack. To fix it is another 28k. The metal roof is leaking above the kitchen, causing water damage to the ceiling rafters and the kitchen ceiling. $8k. I have the money and I will pay for the repairs, but I can’t find a contractor to do it. They’re all making money building new homes and dealing with the labor shortage . If I actually do get someone out to give me an estimate, it’s outrageous. I guess I’ll keep dealing with the problems until we hit a recession and I can find someone licensed who wants the work.

The city owned an old home across the street from a property my sister owned. We learned they were going to tear it down and just sell the lot. So she looked into just moving it across the street. She got a bid and moving a house a few hundred feet was $20k. I wasn’t really too shocked it peaked my curiosity of what such services cost. I talked to the contractor and he explained that the cost goes up fast when you start having to make arrangements with municipalities to move power lines for a day etc. It’s an art of the path of least resistance and not something any chump could take on. I’m glad I got to talk to someone who did it I was fascinated by it.

Kinda like the people who poopoo a house because they don't like the paint colour inside (or outside). It's paint. You can repaint it any colour you like.

I have been in love with the Starrett house every since I first saw it in a video years ago. The history, the architecture... all of it! I ever win the lottery, she will be my first purchase, and I will honor the ghosts of her first family. ❤

For the SK Mansion, I've seen the episode of Ghost Adventures where they investigated the mansion, and interviewed the owners, who you mentioned in the video, and the hauntings are attributed to all the deaths that occurred inside it, including a WW2 veteran who supposedly died from spontaneous combustion, and the fact there was a tunnel in the basement that connected to SK's factory across the street. The tunnel had closed off entrances on both sides and has since collapsed. And because it's collapsed, it may never be known what occurred in that tunnel. Who knows, there could be bodies buried under it. And no one can explain the little boy that is the most seen ghost in the house is. It's not a member of the Pierce family, that they know for sure. But all the death and illegal activity that took place inside the mansion, yeah, no one would want that house. But because it's historic, not just because of the ghosts, it can't be torn down, unless it poses a potential safety hazard. So it could sit abandoned for many more years, and yet, it will always be taken care of to appease the spirits that still call it home.

While haunting is given as the primary reason some of these places are unsellable, I suspect that it's more likely that the price is too high for what you get. Most of them will require costly renovation/restoration in addition to the sales price.

This one of your best videos yet! In spite of the ghosts, the interiors are to drool over. I've been lucky enough to spend summers with two relatives who've had the houses since they were built (1900 and 1925, respectively) and all those times were blissful, learning the eccentricities of old house design and exploring the treasures in the basements, attics, bookcases and storage cupboards. Where else could you find kits for patching kidskin (an early kind of whitewall) tires or 1910 era extracts for making birch beer? And spices in their original 1930s packaging stored in a zinc-lined icebox converted to a cupboard? And then there's a set of pewter charms to be baked into a cake. Whatever was in your slice told your fortune ... provided it didn't chip a tooth or lodge in your windpipe.

It was heaven to sleep there, even when it was snowing outside. And yes we all had electric blankets -- the most-requested care package ever! Nowadays converting to a sleeping porch would require burglar bars as well as screens. How things have changed since I was in college 60 years ago!

I lived in a haunted house in my childhood, no problems with the ghosts at all, they started to appear after a house fire that really barely affected my siblings and I emotionally at all since we weren't there at the time and insurance paid for a stay in a nice hotel. So none of that trauma making us see stuff shit. My older brother, grandmother and I as well as one of our friends and my mother's boyfriend also saw one of the ghosts, but my mother who has fairly high prescription glasses saw nothing. Everyone but my grandmother saw a dark silhouette of a man in a trench coat, she one the other hand saw two young girls playing skip rope in Victorian dresses, which kind of makes sense because she was sleeping in what used to be a play room while we were in normal rooms. We talked to one of the neighbors who had lived in the area for his whole life and he pulled out an old photo of one of the previous owners. The ghosts didn't harm any of us or make threatening moves, but the person who caused the fire said he felt an oppressive feeling and never stayed long in the house after that which was as far as I care a Blessing from our protective ghostly friends. So don't dick around in the house and the ghosts should treat you alright.

It’s just so one of a kind and the original story on how it was built is just beautiful

There's a house in my home town that I fell in love with as a kid. It was built by a banker in the 1900's and later on it became an apartment complex and back to being a regular house. I don't remember how many square feet it is but its pretty big. It's been renovated, mostly, but they kept the original woodwork on the inside but it needs a LOT of work. In the summer, it gets hot and humid since there's little to no airflow and I can't even imagine how much it would cost to keep the rooms cool/heated on top of the sale price. And the basement... original stone foundation, crumbling to literal mounds on the floor. Definitely needs a HUGE overhaul. All at the asking price of $180K. It was $220K at one point. Far as I know it's not haunted, probably. If I had the money and some to overhaul it, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

Unfortunately historic homes often lack insulation causing very high utility costs. Updating them is a major undertaking.

No matter where I live, or even just visit....it is ALWAYS haunted. I honestly, truly , cannot think of one single place that I've ever spent time where the past energy and/or people do not still reside and show themselves(to varying degrees). I have a large, beautiful, loving family and I'd 100% pay a discounted price to live in a large, lovely, likely haunted home. An abundance of $ is one thing I have not been able to provide my 6 kids and 3 grandkids...it's ALWAYS been my dream to have a home where my growing family can come and stay anytime. Most spirits are simply confused people. It us not difficult to show them compassion and respect. It is very possible to help them move on or even peacefully share space.The more difficult ones, in my experience, don't find much strength at all when you ignore them... I loved this video. Going to look for my dream home.

He was definitely an eclectic character. Not much of a talker. His long time GF at the time, she was super nice. I remember the animals and the different things he had in his house. He used to have an African Serval cat inside the house. He'd always have it locked in an upstairs bathroom, which I thought was weird. He didn't have any of those weird rooms in the basement but he had a room full of miniatures that he would paint and make dioramas out of. He was really into the medieval stuff. I remember he had an authentic full suit of armor in his entry way and swords hanging on the wall. He had a horse too, named King Richard. He had camels (we used to have camel rides), zebras, emus, various bird species, zeedonks, etc. I remember he built like this mini Taj Mahal outbuilding behind his house. He had plans to get a lion and that was going to be it's enclosure. Not sure what ever came of any of it because I left home when I graduated. Dude was definitely.... out there.

I was raised and still live in Syracuse NY and have seen the $1000 house quite often in my daily travels. It is a shame that it sits unattended as it could be a beautiful restored home. I wish I could buy and restore it but I'm currently working on restoring a different 120 year old Victorian home I purchased in the area.

The Kaufman house is an awesome estate. The problem about the home is how close to the lake and losing land. I have visited the estate many times and if I had the money I would buy it.

I’ve had many people say I have a bit of something they always reference as a “shadow “ around me. My sister has even mentioned having multiple dreams of me at different ages, with a long , dark , shadow that followed me around. I even had a man I was seeing that was interested in that side of the world that said when he slept in my bed he woke up multiple times from horrid nightmares , feeling something at the end of my bed. I’ve felt the same presence , but even though it is dark, it feels protective, not angry. It has been with me since losing my parents . Most people don’t like sleeping at my house. Things are moved , fall of the wall with provocation.

If I were wealthy (and I’m not!), I might consider the last house on the lake with all of the acreage. Turn it into some sort of resort. Maybe build some little cottages, pools, tennis/pickle ball courts, etc. I enjoyed this video. Thank you.

Okay maybe this might sound funny but if the Addams Family existed in real life I could imagine them getting the house for 1.5m.... Just alone the fact that they love haunted and mysterious things, would make it attractive to them.

I have stayed in an old Victorian Manor Estate. Four floors above ground, with a full basement and full attic. Half wrap around porch, that connected to a side porch where the staff would go in and out of near the kitchen and near the pantry. Off to the side they had built on to house the washer and dryer and other utilities they added on later to go inside the home. The details were so beautiful and the decor was lavishly done as though the original home owners would have had it back in the late 1800’s to early 1900’s before the Great Depression. The bed room I slept in for several days was called the Rose Room, and my parents stayed in the room that was connected to the same bathroom as mine which was called the Lavender Room. I don’t remember where this house was located, but it also had a large parking area for guests. Wish I could have something like that one day.

In general, when buying an old house on the cheap it really comes down to renovation costs. The difference in renovation costs are structural vs cosmetic. It's one thing to redo decades old, mixed gaudy décor by replacing counter tops, flooring, cabinets, toilet-tub-tile-sink, linoleum and removing wall paper vs a herculean effort to repair or replace multiple things like failing floor and ceiling joists, warped out floors and stud walls & faulty foundation issues. Buyer beware...

The second house is so beautiful that I got the chills looking at it. That’s my dream house. I don’t mind the haunting. I want it! And the only thing sinister and unnerving about Chris mark castle is the 60 million price tag 😅 maybe I’ll end up buying it if amc squeezes really good 😅

I actually know someone who moved their house, built in the 1800’s. And her husband and contractor adult sons restored the house themselves and the couple lived there for a few years. It was beautiful. Then they sold it for over a mil. netting a nice profit. So it can be worth it if it is the right property and you do the restoration yourself which saves a lot of money.

I would totally take the cabin at the end, or some of the other ones ( not the ones that require so much work and should just be torn down ) I'm not afraid of paranormal activity because I believe in a higher power that can get rid of that problem.

Would absolutely buy that. Great for collections making films scenes etc. Plus the grounds for horses.

I'd take any one of them! Nobody lived in my current home for years before I bought it because it's haunted. Before I moved in it was a church and there had been many funerals here and on the other side of the field behind it is a HUGE graveyard. I know they are here, my Partner knows they are here and eventually he got used to them and sometimes guests experience things too. I have psychic abilities (clairaudience) and once we "understood each other" they quit the harassment and we sort of just became roommates. Unless you have demons there is nothing to fear from a haunted house.. they are usually just trying to scare you off. So many people would crap down their leg to know how many haunted houses are out there.. nobody has to have died in your home for it to be haunted.. the Spirits can literally follow you home from the grocery store.

I also did not believe in ghosts. But then I lived in a house where we would hear footsteps, voices, latched doors opening in front of us, and I had constant nightmares. We looked up the history of the home and 3 out of the 5 owners prior to myself had committed suicide in the last 10 years. When I moved out and into my new house I did not experience anything at all and had no more nightmares; I have not in the 3 houses I've lived in since and still haven't experienced anything like it. If ghosts are not real, then I don't know why we would have experienced those things. (We did not know of the suicides prior to the experiences so we were not influenced by that knowledge, it was something we learned after looking into the history of the home after the many occurrences). If you do not believe in ghosts then I am happy for you because then you did not experience what we did. I would rather be homeless than live there again. It is possible that we all lost our minds living in that house and immediately came back to our senses as soon as we moved, but that also seems unlikely. My goal isn't to convince anyone, it's just nice to share my experience with others who may potentially be able to relate. A lot of people can be condescending about this topic so I don't bring it up to anyone I know.

I have the same orange counter as the 1st house! If I had 20 mil to spend on a property, and the money to support and maintain it, I would live in the last one.... maybe convert part of it to a retreat destination.

So sad to see these beautiful buildings deteriorate

Check out Myrtles Plantation in St. Francisville, Louisiana. You can spend the night or just take a tour.

There is a house in Alpine, Utah on South Main Street that was built by my family in 1855. It is a 4 bedroom, one bathroom house, with a 3/4 acre lot. It is still in very good condition as well. It stayed in the family until 2020. We sold it for $1,500,000 to a company that wanted to have it as some kind of photo place. But somehow the private school next door bought it after that and wants to tear it down to be a lame parking lot for them. The city fought back so it would stay and be put as a historic location. The main reason the city fought back to get it is because it was the first house out of the Alpine fort, and the first general store in Alpine. With what I have heard, the city did not win it back and it will be torn down soon.

I remember before he wed my older sister, my brother-in-law lived with three roommates in a 1920s "kit house" that had once been the town funeral home, and my sister was convinced the place was haunted. I'm also reminded of what Eddie Murphy once said about not staying in haunted houses despite their beauty (this is a paraphrase): "Oh, honey, this is beautiful. We've got a chandelier hanging up here, the kids are outside playing. It's a beautiful neighborhood. This is really nice!" (Ghostly voice) "GET OUT!!!" "Too bad we can't stay here."

#1: easy solution - take the house, convert it into a small commercial office. Completely eliminates the need to rezone or relocate the building.

The Minxiong Ghost House (16:26) I think it would be better to find the blueprints and REBUILD from Scratch and that way you have your plumbing and electric up to code and the place can look exactly as originally intended. And if you rebuild elsewhere then hopefully you could eliminate the hauntings with a new location and new structure. IMHO

The sign on the TN house saying "not haunted", some states require real estate agents and owners to disclose if the house is haunted. Stambovsky v. Ackley, in other states the realtor may put it up as humor, or as a way to prevent a lawsuit.

They're absolute money pits.... considering the price for relocation, requalification, permits, restoration and upkeep on some of these... truly scary!!

I love that place on Lake Superior (always wanted to live on that lake) but between the price of buying it and the price of keeping it up after you bought it would be horrendous. A couple I knew had a 5000+ sq ft log home in southeast Michigan and once I helped them go through the place oiling the inside of the house while he did the outside with waterproofing. All of which they did every couple of years to keep the house intact and looking good. Also had problem with rot where the logs crossed which needed care too. Way too much hassle for me. Log homes are beautiful but...no thanks.

I often have dreams of living in a big house, in some of my dreams we've bought the house, in others we're moving in with relatives who I don't even know. Like, In one dream, we were moving into a rather large 3 floor house, we didn't own it but we had relatives who live there and they had let us move in and live with them, even though I didn't know them, and this house had so many secret stairways and passageways, it was a fun time exploring the place. In another dream we'd found an ancient Roman palace just outside of town, it was a beautiful place and in immaculate condition with all the modern conveniences added (you know, electricity, internet and things like that), it was on sale for only £500! I wanted to move there but mum wasn't interested. If that had happened in real life I'm sure we WOULD have bought it.
