If you’re looking to buy a house in the Dunmore, Pa., area you could do worst than the lovely four bedroom Victorian for sale on Marian Street.
After all, it’s reasonably priced, is close to good schools and is by all accounts quite lovely.
That is, if you don’t mind the fact that the place is “slightly haunted” according to the owner.
In several online listings, owner Gregory Leeson includes the following description of his home mixed in amongst details such as hardwood floors and off-street parking:

That’s right, nothing much other than a terrifying ghost staring at you while you’re alone in the bathroom.
You’ve got to respect Leeson for his, uhh, transparency, in including the haunting details. Yahoo News put in a call to Leeson figure out what motivated him to disclose the information but we have not yet heard back from him.
Interestingly, another ghost is said to haunt the Dunmore area dating back to 1901, the same year this house was built. However, the two do not appear to be on the same street. But seriously, what is it with 1901 and Pennsylvania ghosts? Another haunted locale, Buck Hill Falls, featured in an episode of the now defunct MTV show “ Fear, opened that same year and was reportedly haunted for years by a suicide victim before the inn closed permanently in 1990.
