The Old Harden House of Camden, NY
My Inlaws Moved into One of Upstate New York’s Most Haunted Houses
The Realtor failed to mention that amenity to them.
In 2001, my inlaws bought a beautiful Victorian home in Camden, New York. It was dilapidated and needed repair, but they fell in love with it and decided to move in and fix it up.
However, they were unaware of this house's history, except that it was built in 1840 and had been vacant for eight years.
The property search revealed that the place had changed hands multiple times, and residences in the house were short-lived.
They chalked it up to the fact that the house was old and needed restoration.
Regardless, for $34,000, this 1840, four-bedroom, two-bath, three-story house with a round room lined with tall led windows was a house flipper’s dream!
Move-in day foreshadowing.
On move-in day, I noticed their two dogs, Autumn, and Spuds, were particularly jumpy and nervous.
Autumn was an elderly Cocker Spaniel who was typically very mild-tempered and sweet. But not that day. Something about her was different.
