Manner of death is important.

Murder? Statistically its safer than any other house.

Asbestosis? Run.

Does that get me a discount on the house? Sign me up

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

Yes, from $900k down to $800k in this market. So you still can't afford it? Shame...

According to TheMovieDB there are at least 86 movies with "Amityville" in the title. This trope gets more mileage than you expect.

Real 🤣🤣🤣

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I would take the graveyard without hesitation.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

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!

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

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 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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

It's only recent history that has people going to the hospital to die. It used to be that "deathbeds" were in the home.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Your still more likely to die at home than in a hospital.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

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).

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

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.

wheres the natural light

[–] [email protected] 12 points 7 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

Gotta keep tge count odd at all times fam.

Considering the price drop it'll have, I'd move there in a heartbeat.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

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)

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

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...
