Cheap rent? Try Japan's haunted houses 

I used to share my house with roommates but people kept moving out saying things like “the house is haunted” but I have never noticed anything and I have been living here for 219 years.

This ghost better be splitting rent with me if they're gonna stay.

Property Ghost: *appears* Me, a foreigner who want to rent the property: "nice, a free Japanese language teacher"

I love how he casually and confidently said, _"it's fresh because it's been six months now of the owner's death"_ and affirms the guy that he can actually live in the house for few years until the time period comes for haunting spirit to develop

Ghost: *slams the door* Me: What bills are you paying to be slamming doors in my house?

imagine after turning off the lights the agent disappears

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.

*Ghost turns light on and off repeatedly, slams door, throws things around* Me: Hey hey hey.. Are you sharing any of the bills to do that?

America: The realtor didn't mention someone dying in our house Japan: Yes someone died here it's still fresh

House: haunted Me: moves in Ghost: ew tf

"I want to meet as many different types of ghosts as possible" is the equivalent of "Gotta Catch 'em All"

Most scary thing is when you found out there is no internet in that apartment.

Paranormal hunter:” if you’re here, say something” Ghost:”nani?”

Comedian- This seems like a nice apartment. Ghost- Am I a JOKE to you? Comedian- YES

“The dead can't hurt you, they're dead. Living things can hurt you, living people can hurt you but the dead can't.”

I notice on other channels that when someone dies that all of their stuff is still in their houses in Japan. To a Japanese it is tainted, to foreigners it's a furnished house. Bonus!!!

“I wonder what happens when you turn the lights off?”.... it gets dark man. It just gets dark. Lol

The house that had been sitting empty for 20 years was so depressing to look at. Honestly I'd live in one of these stigmatised properties for sure.

Ghosts: "brah this dude trying to capitalise on our spooks"

Great a cheap rent and a friend to acompany me

I am more scared of not being able to pay my rent than ghosts so I'll take it!

Throughout the whole video, the comedian literally doesn't mention a single sighting or story that he had with a "ghost". The video is mostly footage of him giggling at old houses.

Billions of people have lived and died on earth, if ghosts were real you'd see em everyday. Gimme cheap estate

My brother haunts my home. He claims he's dead, so he can live here rent free.

Plot twist : *People dies to skip rent and stay there for free as a ghost*

Am I the only one who think it’s crazy now that the prime minister who was just assassinated this year was afraid of a ghost that was previously assassinated in his home.

Really did not expect the guy who lives in a haunted house to be a comedian.

Agent: The house hasn't been occupied for 20 years since someone died in it Tanishi: I wonder what happens if we turn the lights off? Agent: bruh

Imagine the money you randomly found in your home is actually the splitting rent by the ghosts

When the company I was working for posted me and 3 other techs to the Japanese branch for cross training we were given one of these apartments to live. 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.

That first property with rooftop access would be fun as hell. Imagine a lazy evening with a lawn chair, a few beers and some music while you watch the sunset. That second place looked cool too, like a nice place if you want a cozy atmosphere.

I need a ghost homie who can turn the lights off for me

Rent cheap comes with free ghost. Great value

"There's even a rumor that the prime minister didn't want to live in his official residence because of the spirit of an assassinated leader.. " Saw this video last year and this was recently recommended again by YT. Must be because PM Abe died recently because of assassination. RiP, PM Shinzo Abe 🙁🙏

I respect Abe, but quite fascinated that sometimes our destiny or idk (probably just coincidence) is written within our environment. 0:24 He doesn't want to live in his house because, of a spirit of an assassinated former leader. edit: sorry for my English i guess..

Everybody gangsta till they hear footsteps on the veranda at 3AM

"Death happened six months ago, *so it's fresh*" Boi is you selling the body or the apartment?? Edit: thank you so much for the 6.1k :o

I remember my mom was interested in buying a super cool house for cheap, we did some research on it and found out there was consecutive deaths within the residence, we decided to still check it out and when I was walking around the door randomly shut super hard behind and there was no wind at all, I felt almost frozen with fear and all the hairs in body went up

Imagine the ghost is creeping at night tryna scares him, making ghost noises and all but he laugh bcs he got a idea to use on his comedy

The first one wasn’t bad. Especially with access to the roof too, imagine all the sunsets you can watch from there.

Dude I’m down for cheap rent with Casper the friendly ghost

0:24 Irony? Probably not, but it's something.

Japan always has a way of making things interesting, whether it's in terms of myths, legends, comedy, whatever content they present is always unique and diverse. Even for things like this, even though it's taboo, when packaged with a different character, the impression will be exciting. 🇯🇵♥️

1:15 "The death happened six months ago...So it's still fresh" Lmao

Wish this was a thing in nyc but even the ghosts can’t afford to stay there

I'm afraid to people more than ghost, especially a sociopath or psychopath. Imagine living in a cheap haunted house, hearing strange noise, foot step and smell blood or rotten meat at mid of night. When we thought it's a ghost, but it's turn out a serial killer who act as your friendly neighbor or landlord.

I can handle that, no problem, i've lived in places where i have seen persons and shadows moving around and loud noises at night, no chance to run away from that place because it was very cheap too and had no money. In those 8 years living in such a house, those things were not everyday but from time to time I saw and heard strange things.

Haunted houses? That's like every flat on Manhattan Island, the rent price will haunt you 3 lives over.

Japanese should just rent these places out to foreigners. It's a win win situation.

Agent: this is where they shot "The Ring". The unit comes furnished with a TV and couch.

*_"Omae wa mou shindeiru"_* *Realtor: **_"NANI?!"_*

Cheap rent + ghost girlfriend? "I see this as an absolute win!"

Any chance that ghost is female and also single? I'm not particularly picky at this point.

0:21 This didn't age well. Even he got assassinated

I lived in a haunted house twice. I started seeing things and experienced things but ignores it until I found out from my neighbors that someone was killed in there 😅

Am I the only one who thinks that all Japanese houses look haunted? XD

IDK but I found it funny when the agent says "Are you ready?" before turning off the lamp...

Shinzo Abe didn't want to live in his primer minister home because a former politician was murdered there...What an irony, he was murdered recently. Rest in peace.

Thanks guys this information was really helpful! 👍☺

Dude would make a killing as a RU-vid blogger, no pun intended

By jumping from place to place, this man is single handedly raising the cost of living in Osaka.

When you have a house and a set material Comedian in a haunted house: Free real estate

I wonder if the tenants didn't know that it was haunted, will they still experience paranormal activities compared to someone who was clearly told that the place they're living in is haunted? I am really curious if the results will be different proving that paranormal activities may either be real or just a product of human imagination.

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.

It is that time, when youtube recommend this to you during 2 am in the morning.

I'm interested to see what happened after. In some cultures its not just ghost's you have to worry about when someone dies in your home but it also brings bad luck and health problems.

Where can we find more videos like this it’s very interesting love the culture and the market for this houses as well.

The grudge showed me this is probably a bad idea

The problem of living on haunted property is, you cant be so sure if it's buglar or ghost when you start to heard random noises at night 😱😱

There should be an anime related to something like this, would be cool.

wow, knowing that he was assassinated now is terrible foreshadow.

He kept talking about ghost stories, I'm disappointed he didnt tell us one

I used to share an apartment with the ghost of a dead chicken...it was a poultrygeist....

He needs a TV show. Highly entertaining lol

I stayed at a haunted hotel once, I didn’t know it was haunted until after I left. My Uber driver told me. But when I stayed there it felt super creepy.

Me:sleeping at night alone Ghost at 12am- omaywa mo shinderu Me:nani

He is clever, he didn't mention any of his experience living in one the whole video because he is saving it for his audience

ghost: leave and never come back!!! me: aye! let's be friends!

0:23 that aged like wine

The second house looked exactly like the house from "The grudge". No thanks, I'm out...

what if one of these haunted apartments was turned into airbnb 😞😞

Well that was some crazy irony

I thought I would see him living in that haunted house and going through all kinds of scary things. Apparently not, he was just looking at the rumored haunted house.

Lovely, now I don’t need to look for a roommate.

No thanks, Asian countries got the scariest ghost.. I’m not trying to wake up to a long hair ghost crawling on the ceiling.

The foreshadowing is crazy in the beginning 😳😳

Thank you, this is helpful. I'll move to Japan at the end of this year. Now i know how to find or avoid such apartments!

He probably gets paid to do that so they can sell the properties for full price after he moves out without the stigma

Ghost is gonna be confused when I bring home an Area 51 alien

I don't know about ghosts, but I once was a short-time caretaker for a property which really gave me the creeps. I don't know why. I had to overcome an intense depression after I left.

“6 months ago, still fresh” so certified by fresh by Haunted Rent

No problem because I don't understand Japanese...I won't be scared....

Expectiation: Casper Actually: Samara

*ghost appears beside the bed* Me: no you can't sleep in here with me, sleep in the couch or smth

0:20 that one didn’t age quite so well-

The scariest thing about this video are all the guys in the comments who want a dead ghost girlfriend like wut 😂 😂

number rule one for buying a house: If it's way too cheap, it's either haunted or infested with bugs

Well done man!!!

Most people: *SCARED OF GHOSTS* This dude: "I want to meet as many different types of ghosts as possible." . *ABSOLUTELY MAD LAD*

we need some of these in California. I’m tired of expensive rent.
