[@hashgnome9326]

This is a true story. I worked as an English teacher in Japan for a few years. One of my co.workers (an Australian girl) was placed in the apartment floor above me by her school. Anyways, after a few weeks I bumped into her and she looked exhausted... As if she hadn't been sleeping at all. She said ever since moving in there she had nightmares often about a man trying to claw out her eyes. It terrified her. She seemed an honest type in our previous encounters. So she went to our supervisor and told him since the tiredness was effecting her work performance. He told her that actually the previous tenant in that apartment was a man, and that he had committed suicide in that room years ago. Now she was extra freaked out upon hearing this and wanted to move out asap as she thought she was being haunted. The supervisor tried to placate her by hiring an actual japanese exorcist to go to the room and exorcize the spirit. He used smokes and chants to expel it (allegedly). After that, she no longer had nightmares and lived there for a year happily. It was strange though. She had no prior knowledge of anything bad happening in that place and yet she seemed to be genuinely haunted.

I live in London, England. I guess my home is a stigmatised property as the previous tenant purposely drank himself to death over a few days and died in the middle of what is now my bedroom. Ive been living here for 14 years now and although ive felt maybe one or two moments when there was an atmosphere in the flat ive never seen him and even those moments i wouldnt have said they were him. I wish my rent was dramatically cheaper as a result but unfortunately not. Next door last year there was a murder suicide, a month later the flat was back on the market, new tenants moved in with no idea of what happened just a few weeks earlier. Different world.

[@JinyuBiao]

David David take care

[@Eza_yuta]

It's about law. In Japan it's the rule to inform new tenant. In my country it's not ruled just like in your place, a new tenant will not have any idea.

[@kito1san]

In the us, there is that same law. If its for sale, there is a probate disclosure. And if its rental, there is a disclosure for that. However, the limitation is from the previous inhabitants only since there is next to impossible to provide the full history of the property. Aside from that, there are many Indian burial lands in the states where modern times has no tracking of such relics.

Or the neighbours are gypsies.

The house keeper that cooked, cleaned and does our laundry will never stay pass 6pm even 1 time there was an heavy storm and we told her we would give up a room for her while the rest of us shared the other rooms. We did not know the history of the apartment till the last day when we were flying back home the house keeper called her son over to tell us that just before we moved in that apartment was left empty for over a year because the former owner had died in there.
