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.
Yeah, wouldn't want to make the movie unbelievable.
Too young to own property...
Hey but if we play our cards right and get murdered in the right house maybe we can still possess a home.
"Mary I swear to god if you don't have your share of the rent tomorrow I'm calling the Ghostbusters!"
Beetlejuice would understand in this economy. He'd probably help find cool extra ghosts for you.

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.
13 being unlucky is mostly believed by Christians.
More like westerns, the superstition started out in Mesopotamia.
I wonder if non-Christian people do not mind living in 13th floors.
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.

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.

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!

Hey you'll be Lucky to afford such a place in this market
Fr. I’d take it if it meant that the place was much more affordable compared to the other houses around it
I live in a house with parts built in it from 1100. The down stairs used to be a stopping off point for knights on their way to the crusades. If people haven't died in this place i would be really surprised.
My much more recent building from 1860 has certainly had a number of people die in it. It's part of the natural history of any habitat imo.
It's only recent history that has people going to the hospital to die. It used to be that "deathbeds" were in the home.

That is so so so coooooool. My place is a century old so its history is as exciting as beige bath towels.

"Mommy what do these numbers above each of our heads mean? They say 23, 24, 25, and 26."
the number of years it'll take to pay off your student debt
Considering the price drop it'll have, I'd move there in a heartbeat.
I feel like that unless they were killed because of the crazy people in the neighborhood, which are still there, I don't see the price dropping... It's another Hollywood lie...

Does that get me a discount on the house? Sign me up
Yes, from $900k down to $800k in this market. So you still can't afford it? Shame...
I live in Europe in a building that is almost 100 years old. I’m sure at least 22 people have died in it over the years.
Author of this meme never had a chance to buy a house under asking
Depends if the bodies are still in i guess.
I'm not paying extra for a murder house if the bodies aren't still there
That costs extra.
According to TheMovieDB there are at least 86 movies with "Amityville" in the title. This trope gets more mileage than you expect.
Gotta keep tge count odd at all times fam.
I couldn't get into Hellraiser for this reason. Forget the demons or whatever they were, I was scared of that dirty dirty house. They didn't even clean it before they moved in!

Do murder ghosts or whatever count as dependents?
There's probably some nightmare tax form for this, isn't there?
Manner of death is important.
Murder? Statistically its safer than any other house.
Asbestosis? Run.
