The "Poltergeist" House hits the market, promises no unwanted specters

The house that served as the setting for the horror film "Poltergeist" is up for sale for the first time in 45 years.

If you've ever dreamed of owning a piece of cinematic horror history, now's your chance. The iconic house featured in the 1982 supernatural thriller "Poltergeist" has officially hit the real estate market for the first time in over four decades.

 

 

Located in Simi Valley, California, the house boasts a spacious 16,000-square-foot lot, complete with four bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, a pool, and a jacuzzi. Despite its onscreen role as a conduit for paranormal activity, the sellers assure there are no lingering spirits or "ghostly antics" to worry about.

 

 

The film, directed by Tobe Hooper and written by Steven Spielberg, follows the Freeling family as they move into their new home, only to discover it's built on an ancient burial ground, leading to a series of terrifying encounters with the supernatural. "Poltergeist" was a box office smash, grossing over $120 million and spawning two sequels and a 2015 remake.

The property's listing has sparked interest from fans and curious buyers alike. However, the sellers remain firm that the house is "clean" and ready for new occupants, free from any unwanted specters.

 

 

So, if you're brave enough to tackle a piece of horror movie history and have $1.174 million to spare, this could be your dream home. Just remember, any strange occurrences are purely coincidental... or are they?
