Would you ever buy a house if you could get a really good deal on it, and it was right next to a lovely park and a trail, but a murder-suicide happened in it? (And it was cleaned and repaired)

Yes. But maybe have a priest bless the place and someone burn some sage. Like, just to be extra sure.

Can I split the rent with the ghosts?

I would want to know how famous the murder/suicide was, which sounds super weird. But I wouldn’t want true crime junkies driving by my house to gawk at it if it was scene of a case that got a lot of publicity. Like the Amityville horror house, or something like that. But otherwise I don’t think it would bother me.

What if you could put a toll booth, and charge for organized tours? Work from home at its finest. But you might have to undo some of the cleaning and repairing, make it more like a theme park… then again, charge double on Halloween. Hm, would have to work out the math.
