Beautiful house with no doubt a lot of history. I prefer ranch style homes though.

But really, please explain your amateur photo reading skills, and why you think it's not just marketing hype. I'm genuinely curious why you'd post that, and not explain.
The house has no curb appeal.

I look at photos, read faces and places....Sometimes I get more information than I want.

Haha my husband and I joke when we find a real estate person we'll say "we want at least 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, a den, oh and it has to be haunted."

lol.

Interesting. Okay, I guess I was hoping you could point something out that we could all see if we knew what to look for. I just see a rather blah-looking old house (IMO).

Don't know if I'd want to have your "gift".

Okay, Look at the shadow on the purple bathroom wall to rear left of the picture. A flash was probably used for photos, so that's a visual clue. I'd bet its the upstairs bathroom the owner referred to. I prefer to do cold reading without info and didn't read the captions until after posting.

Others thoughts have come to me as well, I've gotten my feelings hurt a few times.

Because everything you see in photos on the internet is genuine, like those skinny models. If you look at enough photos of the insides of houses (and I do), you can "see" anything you want to see.

Believe what you want, the house has old residents with or without the shadow. I've been doing this long enough to trust what I pick up.

We live only about half an hour away from this Dunmore "haunted" house. We are not interested in buying! Right around the corner from us we also have another haunted old house: About Us - Candle Shoppe of the Poconos. That one my wife loved until they put in the candle shop and took away the charm. She would have put up with a few ghost monkeys! We have been in that one a few times looking for candles and not ghost.

I just think that sometimes 'ghost' are very good at following the money. They seem to appear out of thin air when the stakes are high enough. It is a good way to increase business or sell a house. And here we thought the dead had no need for money!

We need to compare notes sometime. As far as the house goes maybe it's the person that's haunted and the paranormal activity will follow them to the next place. I'd buy that house if it was in Maine and restore it to it's original splendor. The kitchen is awful.
