Does that mean the rent is reduced? I’ll move in tomorrow! Bring in extra ghosts if it will save money!

I like how you didn’t even write “buy.” You went straight to rent.

OP being realistic because the owner will just hike the price and put in “haunted by a sexy ghost” as an extra unique feature.

Hey but if we play our cards right and get murdered in the right house maybe we can still possess a home.

Beetlejuice would understand in this economy. He’d probably help find cool extra ghosts for you.

Beetlejuice wouldn’t understand, he’s a used car salesman and a bad one at that. He would probably offer under the current market value though. Not even he’s that crazy. Ultimately he’s in it for the game, not the prize.

Of course they’re happy they get to actually own a home.

I would 100% take a home with ghosts and stuff. Maybe the ghosts can be reasoned with.

Can you imagine how low the sale price is with that many deaths? Those ghosts are probably more reasonable than buying a home these days

I mean, since the paranormal doesn’t exist unless the people in the house died due to some kind of environmental factor then the number of people who died there is completely irrelevant to the new residents, and does not in any way increase their likelihood of harm.

Really it just lowers the rent or mortgage, an objective win for the new residents.

It’s amazing how common this is. One of my old employers got a great discount on rent for office space in a central location because no one wanted to rent on the 13th floor.

I wonder if non-Christian people do not mind living in 13th floors. That superstition of number 13 being unlucky is mostly believed by Christians.

Well it spreads to those around them. It becomes part of the culture even if it means nothing to others.

More like westerns, the superstition started out in Mesopotamia.

Yes, but then they avoid “their” unlucky numbers. Like 4 in Japan.

In Vancouver the buildings don’t have 4th, 13th, 14th, or 24th floors. So it goes from 12th floor to 15th floor.

Weirdly, the boss was very Christian. I guess he valued money over his beliefs, and the superstitions of others?

I agree. Also, they would totally market it as a ghost house on air bnb, and never sell it.

I’d also wire up all kinds of paranormal special effects shit to fuck with the people staying there.

Who needs special effects? Just use the classic trick of carbon monoxide pumped into the house and let them hallucinate all kinds of stuff for free.

I dunno, at 22 deaths of the entire families, the supernatural doesnt exist, but SOMETHING in that house is causing deaths

Could have been rival gangs killing each other in the house for all we know.

But I think anything of substance or concern would fall comfortably under the “environmental factors” I already made caveat for in my original comment

Damn, I COMPLETELY overlooked the environmental caveat in your response on first read, my bad, that was essentially my point xD

Sir, I’m a millennial. It would have to be a graveyard without the house on top before I refused it.

Look at you, turning your nose up at a perfectly livable Mausoleum.

You can fit a family of 8 in there if you’re malnourished enough!

Is it my personal graveyard, or do I just get squatters rights? I guess my question is, can I charge admission?

Fr. I’d take it if it meant that the place was much more affordable compared to the other houses around it
