Thrills and Deals: The Brave Buyers of Haunted Houses in Japan.

[@Sweetpixels01]

I think I love that the Japanese landlord referred to his tenants as people he needed to take care of, he's a good man.

[@ChihChiKao]

hes just preventing trouble for himself. if people die in his property most likely he needs to pay for the renovation himself and would be hard to find next tenant within a short period of time

[@johannahidalgo7738]

Amazing person but intelligent too, if they die inside the house it becomes haunted and therefore difficult to rent.....😮👍

[@labelledamedumanor4876]

He is indeed. If someone does pass away, he needs to know the contact details of the deceased's relatives so that he knows who else other than the Emergency Services to contact.

Whats scarier than these houses is the fact almost everyone in the new generation are on the brink of homelessness due to rising mortgage rates everywhere.

[@zuxx00]

There should be a "dead man's switch" app or a device where people living alone could like log in with their passwords or fingerprints everyday. And if they fail to do so, the device would send out a message to either the family, landlord or the police to do a wellness check on the tenant/homeowner. Because if it was me, I don't want people to discover my corpse days or even weeks after my death. I want people to dispose my body as easy and less messy as possible.

[@markuchiha7737]

This is the sad reality. First we can't please people to like us, second even you're married or not at the end of the day you'll be alone.

Damm!!!🙀🙀🙀🙀 I’ve just started watching this but let’s start with how impressed I am with these Japanese real state agents, they actually tell ppl the story of the “haunted” house they’re trying to sell.... secondly, it’s terribly sad how the older population in Japan is dying totally alone........😮❤

[@didemsakura5473]

They are actually mandated to say that actually. When they sell/rent a house/apartment that someone has died on. But, that is only applicable for the buyer/renter after the incident of death. After that, they will not disclose the death that happened to the other renters/buyers.

[@minimalistminx4518]

Some of the fudoyasan (housing agency) wouldn't tell you if you're not the first occupant. Best way is to rent direct to the oyasan (owner). I'm a filipino, this superstitious culture was passed down to me from my ancestors the first thing i would do before moving is to clean the whole apartment,pour some salt on every corner and first moved some liquids (can be cooking oil,water etc) and cotton. Before moving the whole stuff.

[@kingseiryu929]

Same for Chinese as well. I watch Taiwan ghost variety shows where they invite the shifus or spiritual mediums to give advice on different cases. Salt is a good simple method for standard ghost. For more stubborn spirits, probably need more forceful methods

[@hellopipes]

Why bring the liquids and cotton first before moving?

[@iseeflowers]

@@kingseiryu929why salt? I thought you would burn incense and use broom to clean it before move in?

[@kingseiryu929]

@@iseeflowers the incense for house is to pray to the tu di gong. The earth deity prevents random spirits from going into your house. Idk about broom except during cny. Normally incense at home meant for ancestors or gods, not spirits. During hungry ghost festival, u see ppl burn offerings in public locations. It draws spirits to it and that's the opposite of what u wanna do in your house

[@magdatorruellas9122]

We do salt and bread and a broom…

[@despacitodaniel801]

came here for the ghosts. Left loving my parents even more. Time to call them.

[@drissaudia1323]

It’s a high statistic to hear a lot of older people in Japan live alone with no family or even a community to help or check in on them from time to time. That landlord who does that can’t do that in Australia. A landlord can’t just pop around whenever he/wants to even if it’s to check on their welfare. My neighbour lived on his own and died alone with no one knowing. I didn’t even know until I heard the scream 4 days one morning when his home help came over to work and found him. It’s really a tragic for those living all alone and have no family etc. to help. Again, Japan has many issues with loneliness and they must address it.

[@creampuff4721]

i am a young single man living in japan alone without particularly serious health complication, just mild high blood pressure and gout once in a while, this kind of documentary really makes me worrying about my life especially before i go to bed wondering if i will be able to wake up on the next day

Reach out and make some friends. It would make you happier.

[@Rose-zz2rw]

are medical alert devices not available in Japan? you hang it around your neck and all you have to do in emergency is press the button.

[@naminami_]

I agree with Maiah. Hope you could make some friends and enjoy your time. I am 27 and single. I believe I am still healthy but I chose to live alone, these types of docus worries me too. But it helps me be more open, more aware of what's happening. It somehow keeps me hoping for the better. You take care. ☺️

Ghosts don't bother me. I simply go about my day. I live in an old house and there are many. Even walking around outside. I live on the reservation, and it is normal.

[@modtomodern]

It is important to register at a local health facility, with friends, or community center to arrange to have a check up call daily. Or even strangers can arrange to call and wish each other good morning. If someone does not answer for 2 days , then the police should be called. This system is cheap and effective in Canada because we have local nurses that keep track of the elderly.

[@MrNextMx]

Doesn't Canada willingly ask you to off yourself because healthcare is trash?

[@isnoozeulose]

Would be good to have an app for singles to opt in and check on each other...they can make friends too.

You can do that in the US, too. I believe you can do that in many, many places. The problem is people don't know its existence.

[@katsz17]

At some point you find the mentality of "not wanting to be a burden" is a good thing, whereas your family or relatives could at least visit or check them if they are okay since most of them are elderly people. Salute to the homeowner you checks his elderly tenants. And I do agree that our pets has more love to a person than most humans, sad reality.

[@bluebellrose8]

People minding their own business isn't just a Japanese thing. Remember 'the house of horrors' where 13 kids, the 'Turpins' were found in the USA? 12 kids were so malnourished that a 29 year old looked 13? This was ongoing, decades of abuse. Neighbours said they had noticed some weird things but didn't want to alert the authorities or cause neighbourly problems. They felt mortified when the situation was discovered and blamed themselves for not making a phone call:(

[@slantize]

I was working really late in the office alone one night around 10pm when I suddenly heard weird creepy “grudge” like voices coming from the hallway. I figured it must be some animal almost like a cat. I traced the noise to the men’s bathroom - the door was open and it was dark inside. The noise seemed to be coming from above so I thought there might be a cat trapped inside the drop ceiling. I called out and the cat noises kept coming, almost like it’s responding to me with perfect timing. As soon as I turned on the light the noise surprisingly stopped entirely, even as I waited a tense five minutes. So I go inside and check the stalls, empty. Noise didn’t come back. It was creepy but I still figured must be a coincidence. After I calmed my nerves I decided to use the urinal. As I’m standing there, the main restroom door suddenly slams behind me, scaring the crap outta me and I nearly pee myself. I run out and yell hello? Nothing. I’m sweating bullets, starting to become convinced there’s something supernatural, and I decide to double check the restroom again, carefully and slowly opening with door with anxiety to peek inside. As I’m doing it the door starts creaking and making the exact same cat like noise. Turns out the janitor didn’t prop up the door tightly enough with the door stop and it was sliding from the recently mopped floors and causing the door to creak in a way I never heard before when it moves slowly. Had I not discovered this and drove home in panic I probably would’ve started believing in ghosts. Sometimes it is indeed a pure series of coincidences that make people think it’s ghosts and it’s over imagination and fear, especially when compounded by a gruesome story or history, that make them miss the opportunity to discover a perfectly logical explanation.

[@killinglonliness88]

I find it funny when non-believers seem to think there's always an explanation for it. You'll learn once you have an actual experience with the paranormal, but trust me, it exists.

[@LeedleLee457]

When someone dies in a house it makes it harder to rent, price gets reduced. Ppl on hard times, financially, mentally, physically tenent it and more likely to die. The house gets reputation of been cursed, rents lowered again and the cycle continues.

[@madikiestherkhiangte9884]

Please love each other, I came from a tight knit community on the northeastern part of India from the state of Mizoram. Nobody have ever experienced lonely death, everyone is concerned for each other, if you don't have a family the whole community will look after you and check on you, after you die people will gather together to give you your last rites, our pastors, Young mizo association, everybody will come together to bury you. They come together for months on end to console those living relatives. I am very fortunate to be born from a Mizo family within the Mizo society.

In Philippines the hunted house is a lucky house, many people in Philippines only buy a hunted house, because we believe that hunted houses have spirit or entity guarded you all the time and also give a lot of blessings to the new owner, And in Philippines At the age of 1 year old baby the third eye are already open by they parents and ask a spirit or the entity to guarded the baby as they grow old The more spirit and entity the more blessings they give
