Otherwise normal house for sale hides nightmarish surprise: An entire abandoned jail

[UpInArms]

CNN)A house for sale in Vermont has everything a new homeowner could want: four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a nice backyard and ... prison cells.

The 2,190-square-foot home, located in Guildhall, Vermont, used to be the Essex County Jail, according to the listing on Realtor.com, and formerly served as the jailer's residence.

6. Maybe someone who runs an dog fostering group could use it?

I mean clearly it would need work even before being used for that purpose, but access to running water throughout would help both with keeping the kennels sanitary and if there were floor drains in there that actually worked, it'd be even better (pups have accidents).

With the lot being a full acre, there'd also potentially be space to put some fenced outdoor play room for the dogs.

7. The house itself is rather nice, but the...

...decaying jail cells are really creepy.
