Would you buy a house in which a hidden corpse was discovered?

[Tonitrus]

I personally don't care.  But the problem is that it is safe to assume that most Chinese care very much.  I'll have real problem trying to sell it.

That reminds me of an anecdote from one of the very early settlers of the Pacific Northwest.  It was that the local Native American tribes had the custom of having to abandon any home/dwelling in which a person had died.  Understandable perhaps, but I kept thinking that kind of taboo has to be a huge stunt on overall development for a primitive culture that relies heavily on a very basic, subsistence survival.

And, of course, the introduction of smallpox, and resulting mass deaths, made such a taboo absolutely devastating.  And, in fact, Lewis and Clark's journals reference quite a fair number of abandoned villages/settlements along the Columbia River.

The Indians of the Pacific Northwest were hardly living a subsistence life.  They lived a life of extravagant abundance.

Chinese won't abandon these places though.  They still buy them, just at a big discount.  Actually it is not a bad way to get your own place (relatively) cheaply, if you don't mind the fact that somebody was murdered in the place 2 years ago with her body dismembered in creative ways.

It sounds like a sitcom. Wasn't there a show where there was a dead kid in the wall but his ghost was friendly?

Nope, if a corpse was found there, it means that house isn't as good a hiding place as I tought.

Hey, it stayed hidden since the 1920s. That's a pretty good run.

Hey Malthus is the guy with the ancient antique house. Who knows what horrible things lurk below.

Only in North America would a house built in the 1930s be "ancient".

A adult corpse no.
A baby corpse.... depends on the discount.

A adult corpse no.

Why would the adult/baby distinction make any difference? 

[Brazen]

So long as they're a) no longer there or b) no longer smell, sure.

[11B4V]

Yes

Simple ghost logic.

Baby ghosts can't write things backward in the mirror.
