Zillow reportedly has a Haunted Mansion for sale -- in New Orleans of all places. The interior looks beautiful, but I'm not sure I would want to live in an actual haunted house. Basements and darks places used to freak me out as a kid and even as an adult I can sometimes creep myself out if I think I felt a cold draft. Brrrr

Yes I would and ............ 👻👻

that house for sale IS THE HAUNTED MANSION!

It is a promotional for the new movie.
 
Hard no. We once stayed in a "haunted" hotel in Savannah, GA. I didn't sleep all night. Scared myself silly... fwiw, I don't recall any supernatural things happening -- my brain was just working overtime.
 
I once lived in a haunted house for around 5 years.

It was actually pretty interesting until ex and I kept getting awakened in the middle of the night by a noise like someone dropping a heavy book on a hardwood floor next to our bed. The floor had thickly padded carpeting.

We decided to try a little ritual we made up. We lit some candles and incense and told the ghosts we understood they might want our attention, but we needed uninterrupted sleep. We asked for a "no-disturb" agreement; we'd leave them alone if they did us. Never had a problem after that. We'd still sense their presences, but it was like a friend dropping by to see what you were doing. We'd say hi or that we were busy and would talk another time. They'd drift away usually or simply watch without intruding. (And no, since you're likely wondering, they always respected bathroom and other private moments. Those were never a problem.)

The primary ghost, ex-hubby learned, was the woman whose family built the house. She was very house-proud and did not approve of my casual housekeeping. As far as she was concerned, it was HER house and let me know it.

Another was their son who'd returned from WW2 with PTSD and had lived in a small building in the backyard that no longer existed. He didn't manifest to us much as he had been a loner due to the PTSD. He did like to watch ex work on our VWs in the garage, not interfering.

The ghost cat used to play with our cats. We'd see our younger indoor cat rolling and tumbling around on the living room floor, play-fighting with an invisible cat.

When we went from the living room into the hall to bedrooms and bath, sometimes we'd notice a strong smell of roses in the open doorway. Step through the doorway or to either side of the door frame, couldn't smell roses--only as you were centered in the door frame. That was a bit peculiar, because guests would occasionally ask where the roses were, though we'd not told them anything about this phenomenon or that the house was haunted.

As I said, an interesting place to live, though feeling a bit overcrowded at times. 🙂
 
Probably not, but you never know. While I'm not a fan of the idea, I do think that it might depend on the spirit and what led to their death. A murder house, nope.

Our last house had a presence of some sort. Not a negative one, but we would catch glimpses of a shadow passing our bedroom door, the smell of cigarette or cigar smoke, or even the sound of someone walking along the upstairs landing when no one person or pet was upstairs. We learned through our neighbor who had lived next-door since the homes were built, that the original owner of the house also built the subdivision, died in the upstairs bathroom shower. He was a smoker.
