Society‘I live with a ghost’: Japan’s haunted homes draw bargain hunters

Japanese homes linked to tragic deaths can be heavily discounted. Tokyo renter Ryua says she pays nearly 30% less for an apartment where a previous occupant died by suicide and experiences paranormal activity. In rural Kagoshima, an American resident bought a house for about half its usual price after an elderly woman died alone there.
