507 E Saint Julian St, Savannah, Georgia

Those who like their sweet tea with a twist of lemon and a twisted story should request a tour of this 18th-century abode located on a quiet residential street in the heart of antebellum country. According to the listing, just three previous owners have occupied the space since its restoration and relocation, and, well, one can only assume that’s because it’s haunted. Apparently, before its relocation from Rhode Island in 1796, the home was the scene of several deaths, including suicide. Further, during reconstruction, workers unearthed one gruesome discovery: an ancient crypt. The crypt was reportedly empty, which only makes the account more chilling.

8. The Dakota

1 West 72nd St, New York, New York

Tourists come from all over the globe to take a selfie with the famed Gothic residence on New York City’s Upper West Side. It was the scene of John Lennon’s murder, after all. But it’s not the ghost of the Walrus that renters/buyers should worry about—though his widow, Yoko Ono, claims she’s seen him playing the piano inside the building postmortem. Rather, it’s the ghost that haunted Lennon, a spirit known as the Crying Lady Ghost, for which you’ll want to keep your eyes peeled should you take up residence.

9. The Turret House

550 N Cherokee St, Muskogee, Oklahoma

Realty agents can employ overly flattering language when describing a property. But with this turn-of-the-century Queen Anne Victorian haunt, the realtor tells it like it is. A direct quote from the sales page: “Beautiful front entry, beautifully landscaped, it is haunted.” We admire their candor. Adding to the Turret House’s paranormal lore are reports of footsteps and ghostly music emanating from vacant rooms—not to mention rumors that the grounds are littered with unmarked graves.
