Historical Montreal home listing emits ghostly aura

An eerie house for sale in Montreal's Rosemont-La Petite-Patrie area is still in search of a buyer nearly a year after going on the market, according to CTV News.

The listing says a building contractor built the house with his employees in 1919 and 1920. Judging from the images posted online, nothing has changed since.

The house looks like a time capsule from the 1920s; its well-worn furniture and dusty floors contributing to a sense that something of its past owners lingers on inside the empty rooms.

"Probably the first Victorian house to be built in the area of Petite Patrie and certainly the last to be renovated," the listing says.

It adds that the floors, doors and paneling are all original, made from oak. The floor was only ever covered with beeswax, it says. The walls bear the marks of items that once hung there and the bedroom still contains a bed.

A visitor told CTV News the house had a feeling to it, as though it was haunted.

The listing includes a warning that there is no legal warranty for the house's quality.

Perhaps it should add another warning:

The sellers offer no guarantee that the ghosts of past residents are friendly. Buy at your own risk.
