Really Scary Real Estate

Welcome to Really Scary Real Estate , where the property values are dropping and so are the temperatures. Every week, host Amanda Jenee tours the most haunted homes, hotels, and downright cursed locations on the planet. We're talking murder houses with "great bones," charming fixer uppers that fixed up their previous owners, and that one suburban split level where the only thing moving in is something that never moved out. If these walls could talk, they'd probably scream. It's true crime meets ghost story meets the world's worst open house. So grab your flashlight, ignore that cold spot in the hallway, and come tour the listings nobody wants to close on. Location, location, apparition. New episodes every week. Bodies sold separately.

  The House That Andrew Built: Inside the Lizzie Borden Murder House

  Aug 17, 202630 minS1

  In Episode 8, Amanda walks through 92 2nd Street in Fall River, Massachusetts, the most famous murder house in America. On August 4th, 1892, Andrew and Abby Borden were killed with a hatchet inside a locked up house, and Andrew's daughter Lizzie was tried and acquitted in a case that remains officially unsolved. Amanda breaks down the ninety minute timeline that reframes the whole crime, why a Victorian jury could not convict, and how the property was transformed into a two million dollar business. She unpacks the 2021 sale to U.S. Ghost Adventures, the dozen revenue streams now stacked onto one Victorian, and the Massachusetts disclosure law that would let the most famous murder house in the country stay legally invisible, even as the market prices its history at a premium.

  The City Built on Its Dead: Savannah, Georgia & the Mercer House

  Jun 24, 202628 minS1

  In Episode 6 of Really Scary Real Estate, Amanda Jenee takes on an entire haunted city. Savannah, Georgia is built, literally, on top of its dead, from the ten thousand bodies beneath Colonial Park Cemetery to the squares paved over forgotten graves. At the center of it all sits the Mercer House on Monterey Square, the mansion where antiques dealer Jim Williams shot Danny Hansford in 1981, the subject of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. Amanda breaks down how a famous killing destroyed a mansion's value as a home and turned it into a thriving museum, why Georgia's stigmatized property law is the polar opposite of California's disclosure rules, and how Savannah's dark history quietly became one of the most valuable real estate engines in the South. https://mercerhouse.com/ https://www.savannahga.gov/879/Colonial-Park-Cemetery Book, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil: https://a.co/d/0j5xOUq3
