    All these horror movie plots are starting to make sense. I would also move across country to get a haunted house for 75k.

    Maybe the ghosts are friendly and can be reasoned with.

    Relevant: When your house is haunted but the rent is cheap.

    Not only is this a solid horror send-up of a sort, but it also speaks to everyone that has ever rented/bought a crappy house and developed a skill-set around making that work.

        My last roommate injected three or four marijuana a day, and it had a mildly unpleasant smell sometimes.

        If rent costs half because it is haunted, then it costs the same as having a roommate. not much difference

      I was working construction one winter and living in a house with four other guys. One of the roommates, without asking the rest of us, invited a friend of his to stay in our large walk-in closet. It was supposed to be just for a few days, but he ended up living there for months without paying any rent. One day I came home after work freezing cold and completely covered in mud, and this dude was sitting on the couch in a bathrobe watching TV. I heard the water running upstairs and asked him who was in the shower. He said “Bobby. And I’m next.”

      He was not next. He moved out that night.

    In my neighborhood, it doesn’t matter if the house is haunted or if a horrific crime occurred there. As long as it has walls and a roof it’s a million dollars. (Walls and roof not required)

    Bought a crappy singlewide trailer on a few acres last year, I’ve been learning a lot about fixing electrical stuff in trailer houses. And floors. And roofs. And growing food. And raising chickens.

      Looked at trailers with how cheap they are, then learned there’s a monthly lot rental. 🤦‍♂️ may as well just buy a cheap house at that point.

        Thats why i bought land with a trailer on it. No lot rent but there is a mortgage.

        Some lot rent is crazy.

            Not even just the lot rent. Eventually some pin-dicked investor type is going to buy the place, jack up the rents and kick everybody out. Good luck moving your “mobile” home.

            There are some mobile home retailers that will sell you a “land-home package”. So you can have a new house on a couple of acres. I almost did that.

    guarantee you the “haunts” are psychologically tied to the seller, so when the sellers leave, the haunts go with them

      The only thing worse than a ghost is an upper class ghost always talking down (haunting down?) to you.
