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.
More like westerns, the superstition started out in Mesopotamia.
Yes, but then they avoid “their” unlucky numbers. Like 4 in Japan.
In Vancouver the buildings don’t have 4th, 13th, 14th, or 24th floors. So it goes from 12th floor to 15th floor.
Weirdly, the boss was very Christian. I guess he valued money over his beliefs, and the superstitions of others?
Tale as old as money
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 ✌️👍
