It runs under Ultrix, even if it looks old:

olivaw:/u0/ragge >file haunt.image 
haunt.image:    VAX pure executable version 7 style symbol table
olivaw:/u0/ragge >./haunt.image

 This is HAUNT. Version 5.1
 See NEWS for news.
 Have you played before?[yes]

It should be able to run under NetBSD if ultrix-compat is compiled-in.
