This mansion is on the market for much less than it's actually worth but no one wants to buy it. Find out why.

The S.K. Pierce Mansion was built in 1875 by a chair manufacturer named Sylvester K. Pierce. He designed and built the Victorian home.

The home is currently on the market for only $329,000. In some cities, you’d have a hard time finding a 3-bedroom home for that price.

The reason this home is having a hard time selling is because it’s listed as one of the most haunted homes in all of New England, not just Massachusetts.

Since the home was built, there have been seven different deaths documented. One of these deaths was that of a strangled prostitute.

Because of its haunted reputation, the home has appeared on television shows such as Ghost Hunters, Ghost Adventure, My Ghost Story, and 10 Most Haunted Places In New England. Some people have seen a little boy who stares out the front window, while others have seen a busy servant or a sad woman roaming the halls.

I'd buy that place in a heart-beat - because there is NO SUCH THING AS A GHOST.

the place looks nice. I would charge extra rent for the ghost expirience.

It doesn't look like that good of a deal, ghosts or not. It's price a bit higher than comparable properties in the area, and it looks like it needs restoration. Just looking at the pictures, I'd say it will take another $30K just to restore the exterior. The only thing that would make it worthwhile is the novelty factor, certainly nothing inherent to the property itself.

The truth is the opposite of the headline. The price probably reflects a premium because of the notoriety. Many, many people pay more for that kind of story. Whatever cashes their check, I say.

Update: It was taken off the market on May 5, 2015. It was on the market for less than a month. A comparable property listed on Zillow sold for $254K in December 2014. That's more than $70K less than they were asking for this one! People don't want to buy it because it's a bad deal.

the HDR needs to be cranked up higher. I can still make out the features.

The place is 140 years old. The walls and ceilings are coming off in flakes. Accumulated crap on the floors is not much, but it's visible in places. I can't assess the structural integrity. Built in 1875 it could be good or bad. Worth? A thing is worth exactly whatever you get for it. Apparently nobody wants it. I call that a vacant lot with a mess on it.

BTW it's located in Taxachusetts.

I'd happily live in a haunted mansion. If the price was right.
