Why is this normal-looking house for sale filled with creepy mannequins?




This home might just be what nightmares are made of.


A house up for sale in the prime area of South Lake Tahoe, Calif., seems like your pretty average home — that is until you peek inside and see the freaky valley of dolls.


The property features shaggy green carpet — like out of a scene from “Boogie Nights” —  outdated furniture and appears to be a bit unkempt and messy. But unlike many scary listings that have made shockwaves online, that’s not even the worst of it.


At least a dozen creepy mannequins in evening gowns and baby dolls with human-like features are displayed in just about every room of the house.


It’s unknown if the mannequins come with the home, which is listed at $650,000.


There could be a perfectly reasonable explanation. Maybe the owner is a fashion designer or some type of ventriloquist? But for now, it remains a mystery where all the dummies came from.




The five-bedroom, three-bathroom property was initially built in 1962 — and is seemingly still stuck in that time period.  With the exception of scattered clothes and tiled walls, the living room is chintzy and outdated, but nothing out of the ordinary — at least compared to the rest of the home.


The home includes a one-car garage. Aside from the occasional mess, the home appears pretty normal as a whole so far.  The kitchen includes a breakfast dining space. It still seems pretty standard — nothing unusual.


Then, boom! At least eight mannequins appear out of nowhere, lounging on a chaise sofa, posing against a mirror and waiting near a dining table.  More mannequins can be seen in the kitchen — and all of them are wearing over-the-top formalwear.  Then a mannequin staring over at you while you sleep in one of the home’s five bedrooms.


The mannequins seem strategically placed throughout the house. The home first hit the market Feb. 18, and the Zillow listing has since gone viral, with plenty of people tweeting about the creepy mannequins.


“Please please please please look at this absolutely cursed Zillow listing,” one person tweeted.


“Well, that was a journey that I wish I hadn’t taken…” someone commented.


“But don’t YOU have fully decked-out fashion mannequins arranged in your home??” added another.


And that’s not all! Even ghost-like baby dolls appear in one of the bedrooms, with mannequins dispersed throughout the room. There’s also a random Virgin Mary statue trying to blend in the middle behind the doll-children and dog statue.


The listing does warn that the house is “to be sold as-is,” which very well could mean that the new owner may have some mannequin roommates.
