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.

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.

We cover the real story of Sarah Winchester behind the legend, the architectural impossibilities she built – from staircases to ceilings to doors over twenty-foot drops — and the real estate math on a property currently estimated at $67-71 million that will never come to market.
