Airbnb offering for those who love creepy homes? Derelict morgue sells for more than twice its asking price
Fox News
A crumbling former morgue plus its half-acre of land have sold for more than twice the asking price in England — with buyers potentially interested in turning it into a "spooky-themed Airbnb."
The spooky property was put up for auction with an estimate of around £55,000, or roughly $68,000 in U.S. dollars, by John Pye Auctions, according to the British news service. The property includes the building plus half an acre of surrounding land. "There is quite a market for historical buildings of this nature." Maureen Mackey is managing editor of lifestyle for Fox News Digital.
Auctioneers warned buyers that the dilapidated building in Leek, in the county of Staffordshire, England, was in need of a full refurbishment — or even demolition.
