THE HAUNTED HAMPTON HOUSE, PART 1: A NOVA SCOTIA REAL ESTATE NIGHTMARE | W5 INVESTIGATION
The Tenniswood family moved to Nova Scotia's Annapolis Valley to purchase a home, renovate it, and put it back on the market to capitalize on the real estate boom of 2022. They had no idea that their restoration efforts would come back to haunt them.

The original owner that didn’t pay 10k. He’s full of it, all this happened because he didn’t want to pay what he owed. He knew of the barn, he was kept in the loop, yet he over dramatized his disappointment. Getting diagrams, pictures and letters sent to him continuously on the many different projects, and he didn’t get the email about his land going to auction??? The guy is a scammer.

He told on himself when he said he didn't have the money to pay them the 10K bc he'd already paid them the previous money. That just proves he threw a fit in hopes that he wouldn't have to pay any more bc he didn't even have any more money to make the last few payments. He literally accidentally admitted he was trying to scam them

As a Canadian witnessing the housing crisis unfold in my country, it's disheartening to see an American and a Brit fighting over land here while I struggle to afford a home. The soaring prices and limited availability of housing have created immense challenges for many Canadians, myself included. While international interest may drive up property values, it exacerbates the struggle for locals to secure affordable housing.

Of course the New Yorker “loves” the house now because of all the work that went into it. Then he turns around and sells it for a million. He’s made a legit threat at the end of the part 2 and I hope it’s been brought to the authorities. This couple bought a house and wanted to make a proper investment. They cared for it. They are the victims in this
That guy from New York needs to wake up and take responsibility for his errors. Blame shifting everywhere, it's ridiculous.
The original owner allowed the house to rot, fall apart with minimal maintenance and repairs, throwing fits when a barn collapsed. In essence, did not take care of business, ignored business and did not complain until he realized that the house had been restored and is now worth hundreds of thousands more than it was worth when he owned it. Nasty and sad business
The guy is crazy it has nothing to do with being from NYC!

The “artist” is a scam artist.
This is not about a haunted house! For that I was disappointed but it was very interesting.
There's a picture of me sitting on the porch of that house C. 2003 or '04. It had been long abandoned at that time. That Yank should be locked up somewhere. I've never met him but I friggin' HATE him!!!
outstanding taxes, unpaid renovators? he neglected to take care of his things. do the same in the u.s., they will also sell your property for the unpaid taxes, no???
This guy is a joke. How convenient for him to get the house renovated for free?
Shame on the Nova Scotia government. The Artist guy needs to be institutionalized, and ignored!
Every trade person or company can put a lien on your house when you failed to pay what you owe.
This artist in New York; why didn't he resort to getting professional advice from a lawyer, the way the Tenniswoods did. He ignored the mail, he knew something was going on with the house, but he ignored all the signs. Burying your head in the sand is not a way to go through life. I'm upset that the Tenniswoods are brought to this situation in this way. The fancy artist in New York had two extra years to sell his paintings and come up with the money. I don't know how he wasn't fined for contempt of court when he staged his temper tantrum. The judge let him off easy. What kind of dream world does he live in? I hope the Tenniswood family gets their house back and gets justice; plus the 10K and interest from this loser artist. If he can afford to live in New York, he can afford 10K, especially if this house means so much to him. Also, a good lawyer would not make a phone call, because there's no way to trace what was said. A good lawyer sends letters, which he did, and so why didn't the reporter take him to task on this, and ask him to produce his email account. He needs to prove he didn't receive the email, but he can't so he lies. He has crazy eyes. He's a bit unhinged.

'they' want it back after it's been renovated...
Perhaps Matty needed to have paid more attention to the fact he was running short on available cash to continue repairs to the house, or tell the remodelers to halt further work until he had the money to pay the Tenniswoods to complete the repairs. One would have thought the notice his house would be put up for auction if he didn't pay the $10,000+ interest the judge decided he owed for repairs should have been sent as a certified letter that needed to be signed for on receipt to ensure Matty had received it. He doesn't appear to pay much attention to details, nor figure out the consequences he might face if he just ignores the judge's ruling, rather than calmly and sensibly trying to find a solution that allowed him to keep the house. Tough way to learn a lesson.
Oh my God! I was in this house. When this video popped up and I saw the house I realized I attended a friend's wedding here in the early 1980's. I didn't know Richard or Dorothy, but they allowed two friends of mine to have their wedding there which my husband and I attended. ThIs is too freaky.

That artist is one of the most annoying of the annoying. He’s acting like he’s in a high school theater production and he’s obviously lying.
That guy, le artiste, has no ideal excuse but “I did not get the emails”. He points to the decisions made by the Sheriff. There may have been something irregular, but he list the house through his own foolhardiness, “ I knew about it the judgement, but I didn’t believe in it” sorry about your luck, Trump junior, these folks now own your house”
Just because it was completely neglected and left for dead does not mean it’s haunted! 🙄🙄
Matty is such a dramatic guy… He had that email for sure. He just turned a blind eye to it.

The NY guy should be given his house back if it was auctioned off wrong. Then the owners need to get 3 separate appraisals done and then the province needs to write the couple a cheque for an average of the 3 appraisals. Then both the couple and the artist should sue the province for emotional damages.

Even refusing to pay the court ordered judgement, he would have lost the house to back taxes anyway. I just can't believe he was so ignorant of the law, he seems to be pretending to be a victim in all this.
