The home where John Proctor, who was convicted of witchcraft and hanged as a result of the Salem witch trials, is listed for sale just in time for Halloween.
The house was built in 1638, and belonged to Proctor and his wife, Elizabeth, until Proctor was hanged in 1692. Although it has undergone some modernizing renovations since then, such as the addition of an in-ground pool in the backyard, the home's original features, such as its wooden beams, can be seen throughout various rooms.
The home has six bedrooms, two bathrooms and nearly 4,000 square feet of space. The 17th-century colonial-style home is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is in Peabody, Massachusetts. If you don't mind a little bit of a haunted history, this dream home could be yours for $600,000.
