A real estate firm in Louisiana is having a tough time giving a house away for free, as it has a bit of a reputation as being "haunted." After Sylvia McLain posted an advertisement for the complimentary abode on her Facebook page, the comments section was flooded with former residents and locals telling tales of its supernatural properties, with some referring to it as "Amityville."
Former resident Dawn Vallot DeClout claims the ghoul that occupies the house is her own great grandmother Adele, a 4ft 9in woman who lived to about 90 and favored being in the kitchen.
Dawn’s family owned the 160-acre plot the house was built on from 1860 for more than 100 years, and she lived there for a year in 1981.
She said: “There is a spirit and her name is Adele... my great grandmother.”
Her grandparents built and owned the house by the side of the family’s plantation and her great-grandmother lived there most of her life until she died in the front room in 1967.
Dawn, whose family moved out in the 1980s, said: “We believe [Adele] is the ghost, but she’s not menacing at all.
“She was always digging in the pots, like when you have something on the stove and someone goes and looks in the pot and stirs it around.
“She was well-known for that, and so when we lived there, we used to hear her all the time jangling the pots when we had something on the stove.
“You could hear somebody picking up the lid but there was nobody in the kitchen."
Gary Alleman replied the post, "Yes it is. I experienced three things there that could not be explained and my friend that lived there had more than that. We actually experienced one together and we still talk about it."
Another commented: “I knew someone who rented it. I’ve been in it.
"It is a lot less 'antique' than you’d expect. More like someone updated it in the '60s.
“Did have a lot of weird noises in the ceilings and walls though!”
Sylvia remains hopeful that someone will want the house, she said: "It's probably going to need to be taken apart in order to move it unless it's going really close.
"We probably won't tear the house down. We'll probably either restore it or find a place for it unless we have to."
