Are you the seeker of comfort and graceful beauty? The Weinert House in Seguin definitely has it. The only problem: its former occupants (very former occupants) may not be ready to hand it over just yet.

The home turned bed-and-breakfast is said to be haunted by the kin of its former namesake, Texas politician Ferdinand C. Weinert (1853-1939).

Several guests have reported sightings of the deceased Weinert sisters Clara and Miss Ella, according to "A Texas Guide to Haunted Restaurants, Taverns and Inns." Some say they've been tucked in at night by the sisters, others awoken mid-sleep.

The sisters also "seem to enjoy putting on impromptu recitals for guests, who marvel at the piano that plays by itself when no one else is near," according to the book.

If the thought of living with ghosts gives you chills, you can always retreat to the warmth of one of the six fireplaces of this historic Queen Anne Victorian estate, which also features efficient chandeliers, granite countertops and elegant mahogany trims for its new owner.

Among the comforts of this estate, there is an activity center with a bathroom and a 925-square-foot guesthouse with a private balcony – with two bathrooms accessible for outdoor events. The large event canopy, fantastic pool, and hot tub area – along with abundant covered outdoor areas and lush landscaping – accentuate the home's potential for entertaining a good number of guests.

In addition, the residence is offered fully furnished to continue as a B&B or as private home.

Even though it's all BS, I don't see how claiming a house is haunted will help it sell. Those gullible enough to believe it would be afraid of it, wouldn't they?

i'm pretty sure there are plenty of people who believe in ghosts and are into it, like IN. TO. IT. and would really love owning a house they thought had ghosts in it.

If you accept the fact that ghosts exist and that some choose to hang around, then almost every house that is 50+ years old will be haunted.

I'd love to have a haunted house if there's such a thing. I love ghost stories, and want to see a ghost, but I suspect I'll die without that that pleasure.

And any new house could be made haunted just by killing the owners. It's a growth market.

I think I did, once, and probably never will again. It seems like with all the people that go ghost hunting, a lot more people would be convinced or would say they have seen something.

I saw one once and I still don't believe in them. No idea how to explain what I saw though.

One would presume that the person would have to have a very stong bond with the property to be able to haunt it. Otherwise hospitals would have thousands of ghosts.

Why do ghosts have clothes?
Click to expand...

Ghosts and the clothes they wear have long been a snickering question. It’s a sort of “gotcha” question debunkers use, and it tells more about the way ghosts are interpreted than anything about them. Ghosts appear as wearing cloths because that's how they appear to us. In our era, clothes are part of what we are. They are part of how we see ourselves and this mental image is the one projected and picked up. In fact, clothes can many times give us information about who the ghosts are and what lives they had. There are some reports of nude ghosts, but they are few and far between. Ghosts tend to be seen in the garments they are buried wearing. In many ways the clothing helps us to indentify who they are.
