The owners of the house from the first season of American Horror Story are suing their estate agents for $3 million because they did not disclose that the mansion had been in the programme. They also say it is haunted by two ghosts.

The first season of the anthology show, American Horror Story: Murder House, aired in 2011 and depicted bloody goings-on at the Rosenheim Mansion in Los Angeles.

Dr. Ernst R. von Schwarz and Pier Angela Oakenfold bought the home in 2015 and claim they have had break-ins from fans of the Ryan Murphy (Feud, Glee) show on a weekly basis since then.

“A week before I first visited them [to work on the case], they had been awakened by the sound of glass breaking – someone came in through the window in the kitchen,” their lawyer told The Real Deal. He added that the seller and brokers failed to mention the house was haunted by two ghosts, a point that was not included in the complaint.

The suit claims the buyers would not have purchased the 10,000-square-foot house if they had known it was a "macabre tourist attraction". They are suing on grounds of breach of contract as well as "fraudulent concealment," leaks, water damage, and mold, for around $3 million.
