Zak Bagans, star of Travel Channel’s "Ghost Adventures", has purchased the home that once belonged to Leno and Rosemary LaBianca, who were slain by Charles Manson’s followers 50 years ago,Oxygen reported.

The Manson family went on a string of grisly murders in 1969 that included the killing of pregnant actress Sharon Tate and a number of other high-profile Hollywood elites.

The LaBiancas were killed the next day in their Los Feliz, California, home.

Bagans reportedly made an offer close to the $1.98 million asking price, according to Oxygen.

"The house isn't just about the dark history. It's actually on a gorgeous lot," Bagans told KVVU-TV. "When I walked through that house, I felt things. It was very, very interesting. It was very powerful and I knew that I had to have it.”

According to The Washington Post, the two-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom home went on the market about two weeks ago, coincidentally just in time for the premiere of Quentin Tarantino’s newest film, "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood," and just shy of the 50th anniversary of the murders. The last time the property was on the market was in 1998.

Despite the house’s history, Redfin real estate agent Robert Giambalvo said that interest in the property is pretty solid.

“It’s just such a calm, peaceful, serene environment that I don’t think anybody cares about what happened a long time ago,” Giambalvo told the Los Angeles Times. “The first showings were yesterday, and I already have several people telling me that their clients are preparing to make an offer.”

For those who are interested in the home, there is full disclosure that the property is the scene of the LaBianca/Manson murders, as well as an advisory to do some research on the property before attending the showing. “We don’t want somebody to go into escrow and find out 10 days, 15 days later that there was the event that happened 50 years ago, and then they don’t want to buy it because of that,” Giambalvo explained. “We just wanted people to make offers with their eyes wide open.”
