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.
- Too young to own property...
"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.
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.
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

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!
I would take the graveyard without hesitation.
- Is it my personal graveyard, or do I just get squatters rights? I guess my question is, can I charge admission?

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.
1100!! Wow. I'm in a house built like a hundred years ago and I felt like that was old.
