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 City Built on Its Dead: Savannah, Georgia & the Mercer House
    Jun 24 2026

    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.

  • Sleep Where They Died: The Business of Haunted Hospitality
    Jun 19 2026

    In Episode 5 of Really Scary Real Estate, Amanda Jenee breaks down the haunted hospitality industry, how it works, what it generates, and whether it makes sense as a real estate investment. Covering the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park (Stephen King's The Shining inspiration), the Lizzie Borden Bed and Breakfast in Fall River (where you can sleep in the room where Abby Borden was murdered and also throw an ax), and the Crescent Hotel in Eureka Springs (the fraudulent cancer hospital where dozens died and the ghosts push gurneys). Plus: a real estate investment analysis of the haunted hospitality sector, including where the genuine opportunities are in 2025 and 2026.

  • The Demon in the Shape of a Woman: The LaLaurie Mansion, New Orleans
    Jun 13 2026

    In Episode 4 of Really Scary Real Estate, Amanda covers the LaLaurie Mansion at 1140 Royal Street in New Orleans, the most haunted address in America's most haunted city. We cover the full documented history of Madame Delphine LaLaurie, the fire of April 10, 1834, the four-thousand-person riot, the nearly two centuries of reported paranormal activity, Nicolas Cage's foreclosure, and the property listing at $10.24 million in 2024. This is the most serious episode of the show so far. It earns that.

    Content Note

    This episode discusses the documented torture and murder of enslaved people in antebellum New Orleans. It is treated with the gravity the history deserves.
