The Ably House is for sale.

[47of74]

My cousin, who is a real estate agent, shared this listing on her FB page. (She's not licensed in Illinois).

Historic Ably House located on 41 acres with 2 Natural Springs. Located less than 15 miles outside of Galena. The home is sold As-Is with a Sound Structure & Seller is offering the Buyer a 1 Year Home Warranty which includes HVAC. The land is mostly wooded. Limestone Bluffs on property are magnificent. The property is in a secluded location. I recommend Buyers Google - Ably House - although usually mentioned in Galena - the home is located in Scales Mound, IL. Buyers need to be provide Pre-approval or Proof of Funds prior to showing. The barn & additional 3 acres can be purchase separately from the neighboring property Owner.

If someone is telling you to head to the Googles about a property you probably wanna think that through.

Supposedly the house is haunted. I live about 1/2 hour from Galena and tonight was the first time I ever heard of it.

2. It didn't really strike me as creepy at first.

Just an old farmhouse that needs a lot of work, not too different than the farmhouse my parents moved into back in the late 1970s and fixed up quite nicely.

Didn't really occur to me that the place was haunted until some of my cousin's FB friends said how creepy it was and I went to the Googles to get more info on the place.

4. This is not a creepy picture.

However, the previous photo in the series is rather worrisome. The house and property don't bother me but the rail oil tankers do.
