Did Haunted 'Dead And Breakfast' Finally Find Buyer?

DUNSMUIR, CA -- This 1920s home, with a spooky history in Dunsmuir, a Northern California city in Siskiyou County, was listed for sale two years ago for $899,000 and recently underwent a massive price slashing.

The five-bedroom now is listed at $100,000, and its web site shows a sale is pending. So did the property, reportedly the inspiration for "The Mortician's Wife," finally find a buyer?

The most recent owner picked it up as a foreclosure in 2010, dismissing rumors it was haunted, according to Realtor.com's Claudine Zap. But as he began refurbishing the place, "unforeseen forces" came to life, slamming doors, putting out a fire in the fireplace and turning off his computer. Police even were called once when the homeowners reported seeing a hand on a glass bathroom door and thought someone was inside. The owner and his then-wife decided to turn the home into a "Dead and Breakfast," he told writer Zap.

Renovations began, but the couple divorced and the 5,900-square-foot home, across from the Sacramento River, was listed for sale at $899,000 in 2015, then $599,000 in 2016, and dropped to $100,000 in late September.

In the residence's ghostly past, it once housed a mortuary, viewing area and chapel, and, according to the owner, a teenage girl's skeletal remains were left in a basement coffin. The mortician's wife watched as he died at the kitchen table, then retreated to her bedroom and left his body untouched for weeks? Yes, so the story goes.

The property is four stories, zoned commercial, reportedly again in foreclosure status, and the listing page now shows a sale is pending. Read more on the "Dead and Breakfast" here, and scroll down to the link to view additional photos.
