Hong Kong's Haunted Homes: Affordability Trumps Fear for Some Renters

Imagine you're looking for a new home in a super expensive city where rent is really high.

In Hong Kong, some houses cost so much that people are starting to rent apartments where something sad or scary happened in the past.

These are called 'haunted houses,' but the big reason people choose them is because they are much cheaper to rent, sometimes with discounts of over 30%!

It's like getting a deal because fewer people want to live there due to the history.

Some people believe spirits might stay in these homes, and their culture teaches them to avoid bad luck.

However, for others, saving money is more important than being scared.

Special agents even list these homes, and some smart people buy them cheaply to rent out.

But banks sometimes don't like lending money for these houses, and very shocking events can make them even harder to sell.
