Buying or selling a haunted home?
Some homes come with more than bedrooms, bathrooms and square footage. They come with stories. Reported paranormal activity. A death. A crime. A local legend that has followed the address for forty years, whether or not anyone can prove where it started. Lindsey Shortland works with those properties on purpose, and keeps the real estate decision at the centre of the conversation.
Haunted Buyers, Haunted Sellers, and a Paranormal Investigation Team
Whether you’re searching for a property with a history, deciding how to sell one, or want reported activity looked into directly, the right first step depends on your situation. These are the questions worth sorting out early.
How do you find haunted homes for sale in Southern California?
There is no haunted checkbox in the MLS, which is why the search works differently. What surfaces these properties is listing language, price and days on market behaving oddly, previous listings, news coverage and asking direct questions about specific addresses.
What can actually be verified about a supposedly haunted house?
More than most people expect, and less than the story usually claims. Ownership records, permits, previous listings, newspaper archives and court records are real sources with real limits. What former occupants report is worth hearing and worth labelling as exactly that.
How can you tell if your house has a haunted reputation?
Reported experiences, prior owners’ accounts and a neighborhood’s stories are all real inputs, and none of them are proof on their own. The useful move before you list is sorting what’s actually documented from what has only ever been said.
Is that noise really something, or is it just the pipes?
Settling, HVAC cycling, old plumbing, attic wildlife and aging wiring explain most of what gets reported as paranormal. Ruling out the mundane causes first is quick, inexpensive, and the responsible step before deciding a property’s reputation is worth addressing at all.
A Free, In-Person Look at What’s Being Reported
Lindsey and a paranormal investigation team he works with will visit a property in person, at no cost, to look into whatever activity is being reported - no certification, just a documented, honest look.
Real Estate Expertise, Paired With the Investigation Itself
Unlike a standalone ghost-hunting hobbyist, this service comes from a licensed agent who understands what a reported reputation means for a property’s marketability - not just what might be happening inside it.

Ready when you are
You don’t need to have the whole story figured out
Most of what people call a haunting turns out to be a house talking to you in a language you haven’t learned yet. Some of it doesn’t. The checklist is how you find out which.

Lindsey Shortland, in plain terms
The things people look up before they call, answered directly.
What is Lindsey Shortland’s professional background?
Before real estate, his public professional background is a career in law enforcement, which shapes how he researches a property: sourced, documented, and separated from hearsay. He now holds California DRE salesperson licence 02168025 and practises through Keller Williams Realty in Corona, with documented activity throughout the Inland Empire.
What areas does Lindsey Shortland serve?
His primary foundation is the Inland Empire and the surrounding Southern California market. Documented activity includes Corona, Eastvale, Riverside, San Bernardino, Crestline, the Cedar Glen and Lake Arrowhead area, Morongo Valley, and additional Southern California communities.
What types of clients does Lindsey Shortland work with?
He works with both buyers and sellers, with a particular focus on people buying or selling haunted homes, stigmatized properties and homes with notable histories. His documented work also covers conventional residential transactions across single family homes, condominiums and vacant land.
Does Lindsey Shortland work with haunted homes?
Yes. Haunted and stigmatized properties are a deliberate focus of his practice. He helps buyers and sellers approach them professionally by separating documented property history from reported experiences and folklore, while keeping the underlying transaction at the centre of the process.
Does Lindsey Shortland investigate paranormal activity?
Yes. Alongside the real estate side of the business, Lindsey offers a free, in-person paranormal investigation visit through a paranormal investigation team he works with, for homeowners or buyers who want to look into reported activity directly. That investigation is a separate, experiential service and is not a substitute for the documented-history research the rest of this site is built around - it does not replace, and is not required for, the disclosure and property-history work Lindsey does as a licensed agent.
Is Lindsey Shortland licensed in California?
Yes. He holds California Department of Real Estate salesperson licence number 02168025 and practises through Keller Williams Realty in Corona, California. The licence is searchable on the California DRE public licensee lookup.
