The three-bedroom, one-bathroom residence was built in 1880 and lists for the low price of $105,000 in Atchison, Kansas. But the main draw is that it was featured on a popular Travel Channel reality show, according to Realtor.com.

It has been on ‘Haunted in the Heartland’ and was built by one of the original stonemasons of Atchison, KS,” listing agent Lauren Pierce told Realtor.

“They did some things on the TV show where they released all of the bad energy and bad juju, so there’s nothing but good people there now.”

According to the listing on Realtor, the stonemason, named Adam Dilgert, lived in the home with his family — a group of people who may have never left.
