If these walls could talk, they'd probably just scream unintelligibly.

The Hayes Valley Victorian at 708-710 Buchanan, a "dejected old dame dating back to 1900" by the Chronicle's estimation, has been vacant since the '90s. Since then, this Miss Havisham of houses has been visited only occasionally by squatters and night spirits while Father Time peels paint, rots floors, and sags ceilings.

Lily Chan, the listing agent and coincidentally a former neighbor, will be the first to admit: The home is "is not for the faint of heart." In large part that's due to the horrifying graffiti observed by one Redditor, ElroySF, who recently toured the property.

"I'm stupid, incomplete, ignorant and childish," reads a presumed squatter's note. "Do I want to be like this forever? Simple answer: no. But other people's help is a fucking lie... So kick me out! Both of you. I give a fuck."

These words at one point made sense to someone and were true.

Chan recalls that the seller lived in the property with his mother during the '50s, then married and left. The mother died in the '80s and other tenants left in the '90s.

Hayes Valley, of course, was a different universe then — an artisanal ice cream and pressed juice desert. Chan "used to help the seller's mother sweep up the broken bottles in front of her sidewalk, gutter and parking spaces on Buchanan Street, after I had done so with my side of broken bottles, garbage from candy wrappers, needles and food containers."

Now, another scare, have a look at the bathtub.

Okay, okay. One last horrifying detail to remember. Offers will start at $1.558 million.

Sweet dreams!
