          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.

    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.

          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.

          In Vancouver the buildings don’t have 4th, 13th, 14th, or 24th floors. So it goes from 12th floor to 15th floor.

        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

            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.
