2 bathrooms, laundry room, an unsettling doll couple standing by some cracked walls.
This house for sale in Metairie, Louisiana, really does have it all.
If by ‘all’, you mean a setup that seems fated for nightmare-filled nights.
The property, on the market for $149,500, is listed on Zillow as ideal for ‘investors and flippers’.
Photos show bags of rubbish, stained walls, and grubby cupboards.
Just to liven things up a bit, there are two possibly-haunted dolls casually making their way around the home.
We can't help but wonder... who are they?
There’s the doll in a red dress, jauntily gesturing to a leftover pan in the kitchen.
The snazzily-dressed gentleman doll hangs out by the toilet, his hand pointed towards the seat.
In some photos the duo appear together, standing ominously in the kitchen with uncomfortably bent necks.
There’s no obvious explanation for the dolls’ presence, or a guarantee that they’ll come with the house, but anyone who does end up buying the property will know the figures have been there, watching, waiting... anticipating.
Here are some of the many questions we have:
- Were the dolls posed by a photographer or themselves?
- What spirits inhabit these macabre menaces?
- Do they come with the house, and if so, do they have their own rooms?
- If we bought this house, does it come with an exorcist?
And finally (most importantly) what is with the occasional reindeer toy?
If you do fancy a renovation project and can get past the fact that buying a house that has two animated and horrifying dolls is the opening premise of every horror movie to haunt our nightmares ever then this place isn’t a bad shout.
The home sits on a nice 67ft wide lot.
Inside is 2,100ft of space, with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a downstairs laundry room, a spacious living area, and a kitchen complete with a dishwasher.
There are also ‘multiple’ attics… if you’re brave enough to go up there.
The garden is a decent size too.
If you're willing to risk upsetting the possibly demonic dolls' final resting place...
If you do ending up buying this house, please DM us.
We need to know how this one turns out.

When the issue of corruption is raised, most people in the UK would probably say things like that don’t really happen here.
After all, the UK is ‘the mother of parliaments’ and one of the world’s most established democracies. Our politics may be messy, but it is not corrupt.
This complacency is not only dangerous, it’s delusional.
It certainly should have been shattered by the revelations in the Pandora Papers, which give a glimpse into the world of tax dodging and money laundering by some of the world’s richest and most powerful people.
Sir Peter Bottomley, the oldest MP in the Commons, has spoken out about his financial struggles.
He thinks MPs, who are paid £81,932, should be paid the same amount as GPs – whose average salary is £100,700.
The average salary across the UK was £31,461 as of last year.
Following calls for health workers to recieve a raise for their work over the pandemic, he told the New Statesman: ‘A general practitioner in politics ought to be paid roughly the same as a general practitioner in medicine.'
The viral photo had people in stitches at the way Ndakasi mimics Mathieu Shamavu, who along with Andre Bauma, rescued her in 2007.
Andre found her clinging her mother's lifeless body after the militia wiped out her family while hunting for bushmeat.
At just 2-months-old, Ndakasi was taken to the Senkwekwe Center in Virunga National Park to live and be rehabilitated with fellow orphaned gorilla Ndeze.
The group had been living in Pakistan on temporary visas since fleeing their homeland after the takeover – and faced being sent back once their asylum period ran out.
They have also been offered asylum in Portugal, and it is unclear which country they will end up in.
Campaigners have been calling for the girls to be given sanctuary in the UK, amid fears they would be persecuted by the new Afghan government and stopped from playing football.
Leeds United was among a number of organisations who urged the Government to grant the girls asylum.
The young man, who was been left traumatised and not able to sleep since the swoop, told @MetroUK: ‘As soon as the van boxed me in, I put my hands in the air because I did not want to get shot, I was scared.'
The 23-year-old claimed the West Midlands Police squad then dragged him through the broken glass, causing a deep wound on his hand and cuts all over his limbs.
