I live in a house with parts built in it from 1100. The down stairs used to be a stopping off point for knights on their way to the crusades. If people haven't died in this place i would be really surprised.
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.
I feel like that unless they were killed because of the crazy people in the neighborhood, which are still there, I don't see the price dropping... It's another Hollywood lie...
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.
