@UnseenJapanSite I would not want to rent it because of the area possibly being unsafe than something superstitious, especially if the previous tenant was murdered
@UnseenJapanSite Why are they making it so cute lmao
@UnseenJapanSite I’d have the Winchesters on speed dial.
@UnseenJapanSite Recommended for people who are ok with this (type of listing).
@UnseenJapanSite The last flat I lived in, the guy died there, and I never got a discount. Disappointed.
@UnseenJapanSite Sui’’cide or dying there naturally is normally the case. Murder is super rare. Ghosts … don’t mess with them!
@UnseenJapanSite The wonky layout should've given you a clue that this ain't no ordinary apartment.
@UnseenJapanSite Ghost I can deal with, but that layout man, you will fail 1st year in Architecture school if you hand in a layout like that...😅
