A Realtor Uploaded Ghost Photos to a House Listing… But Why?

Hello spooky cats, and welcome back to Paranormal News! Today, I stumbled across something a little different from my usual ghost hunts: a real estate listing that decided to go full Ghost Hunters instead of HGTV.

Yep, a realtor uploaded house photos that appear to show… a ghost.

Now, before you start packing your Ouija boards and booking moving trucks, let’s break down what really went on here.

The Ghostly Listing

The listing came out of New Jersey and featured 40 photos of a house for sale. Pretty standard stuff, right? Well, except for the fact that four of those photos included something a little extra:

• The first three photos showed what looked like a misty form beginning to take shape.

• The fourth? A full-bodied apparition sitting at the bar like it was waiting for happy hour.

Naturally, this caused some buzz online. A family member spotted the pictures while checking out the listing and quickly realized something wasn’t quite normal.

Ghost or Halloween Prank?

Let’s be real here: I don’t think we’ve stumbled onto the holy grail of ghost evidence through a Zillow listing.

Looking closely, this “apparition” looks a lot like… a person wrapped in a white sheet during a long-exposure photo. I’ve done this kind of photography myself—wear dark clothes, step into the frame, hold something white, and voilà: spooky see-through ghost.

Honestly, it screams Halloween decoration more than real ghost caught on camera.

The Real Mystery: Why Would a Realtor Do This?

Here’s where things get weird. Normally, realtors go out of their way to avoid making a house look haunted. Most buyers aren’t exactly eager to move in with Casper (except for us weirdos who would 100% buy a haunted house).

So why upload ghost photos to a listing?

• Attention grab? Maybe the realtor was hoping the listing would go viral.

• Accidental? Maybe they didn’t notice their little “ghost” showed up.

• Haunted house marketing? Could they have been trying to sell it as haunted? Bold move. Risky move.

Because let’s face it—more people don’t want a haunted house than those who do.

Final Thoughts

Personally? I’m calling this one nonsense. The “ghost” looks too much like a sheet trick to be convincing. But what really interests me is the motivation. Was this a marketing stunt? A joke? Or just a really bad photography choice?

What do you think? Would you buy a haunted house—or would ghost photos in a listing send you running? Drop your thoughts in the comments, because I’d love to hear what side you’re on.
