A historic Florida ‘haunted house’ is for sale, and it comes with a ghost named ‘Fred’

A hundred year old Victorian style home of Queen Ann in Florida is now on the market and it is said to have included a friendly ghost named “Fred”.

Located at 14 W Gadsden St. in the North Hill District of Pensacola, the house was built in 1900 by Thomas W. Finch and is known as the Finch House. Tamara Roberts, who is a guide on the Pensacola Historical Society’s haunted history tours, told Vie Magazine that the house is inhabited by a ghost named “Fred” who many believe is actually Finch.

The home’s current owner, Gene Church, recently told Newsweek that his family believe Fred is actually a good ghost. “One of my sons, who seems to be more sensitive to the supernatural, claimed one evening he saw two shadowy figures on the porch,” Church told the publication. “The experience with Fred has led people to refer to him as a kind spirit.”

Church also said he heard screams around the house and kitchen cabinets have been known to open and close abruptly.

In addition to all living with a ghost, the 5,960 square meter house has six bedrooms and four bathrooms as well as a separate apartment with its own kitchen on the top floor, a huge all-round veranda and a “widow’s head” in front of the house.

The current offering price is $ 750,000 and the listing agent is Lynn Peters of Remax.

Haunted buildings don’t last long in Florida. Recently, a haunted prison outside Gainesville was sold for $ 115,000.
