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.
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.
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.
Weirdly, the boss was very Christian. I guess he valued money over his beliefs, and the superstitions of others?
I guess he valued money over his beliefs
Tale as old as money
In Vancouver the buildings don’t have 4th, 13th, 14th, or 24th floors. So it goes from 12th floor to 15th floor.
I don’t remember what the number was, but O had a guy ask me at work for a different sandbox server because the number was unlucky in his country or something. So like Dev06 was a no go.
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.
Gotta pay for the carbon monoxide. I would use a speaker with infrasound.
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
All good ✌️👍
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?
People are dying to get in!
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.
Your still more likely to die at home than in a hospital.
I’m curious on the stats. I don’t doubt the likelyhood of home v. Hospital but just the mentality being a modern shift of the hospital is where you go when you’re sick. Especially rurally it was less common (doctors did more home visits).
The hospital will discharge you, they avoid keeping beds warm for those that will soon be dead. So unless they think your going to be back very soon, they will send you with a discharge plan to go die at home when at all possible.
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.
“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…
At this point 22 murders seems like a smart budgetting decision, worst case scenario you’ll get housing for life (if you live in a civilized country)
Author of this meme never had a chance to buy a house under asking
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…
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.
Gotta keep tge count odd at all times fam.
According to TheMovieDB there are at least 86 movies with “Amityville” in the title. This trope gets more mileage than you expect.

Good animation. Like it 👍.
Do murder ghosts or whatever count as dependents?
There’s probably some nightmare tax form for this, isn’t there?
