I wonder how many thousands of treatments for the movie about this Bacon has received so far.

Cue the B-Movie starring Kevin Bacon about him buying a haunted house, getting possessed, and terrorizing Hollywood. I’d watch it.

My immediate thought was Bacon as his Hollow Man character “haunting” the house to get a cheaper price.
My second and more enjoyable thought was Bacon just rage-dancing in his neighbor’s basement every night and accidentally convincing the guy he had a ghost when all he really had was a man who wanted to express himself regardless of what John Lithgow had to say about it.

Sounds like the tale of Matthew McConaughey in Austin.

but but… according the ‘rules’ of unaccountably popular spiritualism, if one (knocks down and) builds over a haunted site then not only do the ‘spirits’ remain, they become notably even-more pissed that their original haunting site was destroyed, particularly emanating from the lower foundational regions… [holds up Stephen King’s big-persons’ golden book o’ spooky stuff] (oh, and hauling in a priest armed with holy water will only result in a whole lot of back-story - and no one wants that)

Yeah, but according to the rules of TV script writing, Kevin Bacon is supposed to get the house for free if he can spend one night in it.
I’m curious where this is, having grown up in CT. There was supposedly a “witch house” on our town green.
[ETA: Ah, I see, Sharon CT, nice part of the state. Also I see Lowe asked if he spent a night in the house, and he of course didn’t.]

It’s in Sharon, CT: Kevin Bacon & Kyra Sedgwick's House in Sharon, CT (Google Maps) (#2)
Link includes an aerial view. Sharon is on the NY/CT border, just north of Danbury.

Coincidentally, the house is only six steps from the farm.

Bacon buying the plot only to discover the ‘ghosts’ were graboids.

He shouldn’t be allowed to tear it down - that’s clearly a historically significant ghost.

If Bacon makes a movie of the whole project, can he take the [tax] write-off because then the haunted house was used for business purposes [making a movie]?
This script nearly writes itself…
