I'm a Kilz guy myself, but fuck I'll use whatever gets me this 75k house.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 months ago

That stuff is expensive

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 months ago

I hear lead binds spirits so they can't leave the walls 🤔

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.

[–] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Didn’t intend to watch a 15 minute long video, but damn that was good.

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Glad you enjoyed it.

[–] insight06@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

If anyone wants an entire TV show done like this, check out Wellington Paranormal

What is the difference between a haunted house and having roomates?

[–] harambe69@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 2 months ago (4 children)

Casper doesn't do pot or has alcoholism.

[–] Buffalobuffalo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 months ago

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

so, better then

[–] nightofmichelinstars@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 months ago

Also contributes a nice cool breeze in this obscene heat

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

[–] wabafee@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Can't kick out a hunted house.

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I need a young priest and an old priest...

[–] wabafee@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Don't the rent will increase

[–] RandomStickman@fedia.io 22 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Yeah, if you're living here without paying rent at least help out around the house

[–] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Who do you think is making all these creaks and moans? You think a house just settles on its own?

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

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.

[–] LittleBorat3@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Unlike most landlords.

[–] LordCrom@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Maybe they chip in with the utilities?

[–] laranis@lemmy.zip 11 points 2 months ago

I'd buy a discount haunted house any day of the week. Just fix any CO or other toxic substance leaks and voila, instant exorcism!

[–] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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.

[–] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

Some lot rent is crazy.

[–] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I’ll look into that. Thanks. Yeah saw $700 lot rent, like what the fuck?

[–] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

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.

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

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.

[–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Add a banjo to that and I'm in

[–] LiarAmongAll@lemmy.zip 9 points 2 months ago

We're finally in a position to buy this year, and yeah, everything in our price range is old and beat up. Oh well, time to start my Handyman Arc, it'll be a blast!

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

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)

[–] diabetic_porcupine@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I saw a sign for houses starting at 39k today and man I bet they are so shit

[–] blarghly@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Most likely prefabs on land you dont own. Houses really arent expensive. Land is expensive.

[–] gnufuu@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Only upper class ghosts can afford to haunt a mansion like that.

[–] zod000@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 months ago

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

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Landlord Special just paints over the possessed girl, the priest, and his apprentice.

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] very_well_lost@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

That carbon monoxide leak ain't going anywhere, muchacho

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I can afford a small single family home but then I can't put anything into it for five years. No furniture or repairs.

[–] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That’s about where I’m at. Buy a house? Ok. But it’ll be empty.

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago

I was close to buying a small mid-century SFH this winter but it would have wiped out my safety savings just with all the moving and paperwork expenses.
