Whether we believe in such things or not, most of us love a good haunted house story. Living in one, however, may be another story entirely. The Dakota Building in Manhattan is well-known for a number of ghostly apparitions. Built in the late 19th-century, the Dakota ranks as one of the Big Apple’s most swanky residences, with tales of spirits haunting the structure for decades.
It has been reported that a ghostly figure guards the front entrance at night, a crying woman haunts the halls, and sounds of invisible children are heard playing and running through the building.
Of course, the most famous ghost is rumored to be that of John Lennon. It shocked the world when the former Beatle was tragically murdered outside the Dakota’s entrance in 1980. Lennon’s  widow, Yoko Ono, has said she feels John’s presence in their apartment to this day.
While this exclusive 11-room apartment is likely ghost free, a new buyer may love the mysterious history of the place.
