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.
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.
Does that mean the rent is reduced? I’ll move in tomorrow! Bring in extra ghosts if it will save money!
Beetlejuice would understand in this economy. He’d probably help find cool extra ghosts for you.
“Mary I swear to god if you don’t have your share of the rent tomorrow I’m calling the Ghostbusters!”
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 peoperty…
Hey but if we play our cards right and get murdered in the right house maybe we can still possess a home.
Do murder ghosts or whatever count as dependents?
There’s probably some nightmare tax form for this, isn’t there?
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 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!

According to TheMovieDB there are at least 86 movies with “Amityville” in the title. This trope gets more mileage than you expect.
Manner of death is important.
Murder? Statistically its safer than any other house.
Asbestosis? Run.
Sir, I’m a millennial. It would have to be a graveyard without the house on top before I refused it.
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!
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!
Gotta keep tge count odd at all times fam.
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
