#1 This 1880's Queen Anne home, in the Camden, NY neighborhood, is listed for just $105,000...but the low price has been blamed on some very unwanted house guests.

This glorious Queen Anne-style home in Camden, New York, is a steal at just $105,000. The historic home was built in 1880 and features an astounding 11 rooms, plus an amazing fireplace. Sadly, this poor home has been vacant and sitting on the market since 2010.

#2 It's a beautiful old house that sits in the center of Church Street in the small town of Camden, NY, named after it's first owner, William H Dorrance.

You might be asking yourself how such a stunning home could sit unattended for so long. You might say it's because of the recession. But maybe, just maybe, it's because of something a little creepier.

#3 Google Street View recently caught some strange images of the house that include hand prints in the upper bedroom windows.

Potential buyers have reportedly been put off not just by its resemblance to the house from scary movie the Amityville Horror, but because it is reputedly 'haunted'. The house complete with a tower roof, gorgeous stained and hardwood floors, fell into foreclosure recently after failing to sell at $105,000.

#4 It was purchased by a couple a decade ago but they moved out withing two weeks of moving into the house.

The rare home has been on the market since 2010, after the last owners mysteriously abandoned the house almost as soon as they bought it.

Although uninhabited for half a decade, the beautiful property has earned itself a place on the National Register of Historic Places.

#5 Google shows the handprints, and most say they are simply decorative stickers, but a lot of locals believe it is actually haunted.

Ghostly snaps of the five-bed home captured by Google's Street View cameras show three sets of seemingly ghostly handprints smeared across the third-floor windows, suggesting the home isn't as empty as you might think.

The prints have quickly been debunked as nothing more than resembling "Halloween window stickers," many locals believe the house is haunted and have posted hundreds of comments on facebook about the place. One man said he walks by every day and swears that at times he sees a television playing through the window in the living area.

#6 Brokers keep lowering the market price because nobody will stay in the house very long.

Local reports say that the unsaleable property known as the WH Dorrance House on Church Street, Camden, New York, has been empty since the last owners abandoned it soon after buying it for $169,000 in 2010. The property was soon vacated and left empty ever since then. The former tenants left no forwarding address.

#7 The house was built by a former clergyman on property his family owned for 25 years prior to the erection of the current Queen Anne style home, by William Dorrance.

It was built by former clergyman turned wealthy hardware business owner, William H Dorrance in 1900 in the Queen Anne style of the time. His family had lived on the plot in a less grand property for 25 years before that.

#8 The design and architecture of the structure appear to some as beautiful, and to others, creepy, with the Amityville Horror home feel to it's decor.

Locals believe that the house is even stranger in appearance because of all the architecture and decor of the structure which has the spectacular 1880's Queen Anne style, complete with its own tower! Most of the rooms are painted a bright green, and the decorative wall ornaments and door knockers are all either weird faces or images of owls and bats.
