In Episode 6 of Really Scary Real Estate, Amanda goes deep inside the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado, the most famous haunted hotel in America. Covering the full story of inventor Freelan Oscar Stanley and how tuberculosis led him to build one of the most beautiful mountain hotels in the West, the 1911 gas explosion that started the haunting of room 217, the October 1974 night Stephen King checked in and had the nightmare that became The Shining, and a room-by-room tour of every documented paranormal location in the building, from the fourth floor children's corridor to Flora Stanley's piano to the underground tunnels where something breathes in your ear in the dark. Plus the real estate story behind the hotel's $400 million acquisition in 2025.  

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.
