These days it seems like there are a lot of folks out there desperate to buy a house, and a new poll finds many may be willing to overlook some creepy things in order to snag one.
A new YouGov poll finds:
- If a home met all of their requirements, 30% of folks would still be willing to buy the home if they found out the previous owners had murdered.
- About the same amount, 32% would not.
But it appears how you feel about ghosts and demons plays a role in how comfortable you are buying a murder home.
- Overall, the poll finds:
- 36% of Americans believe in ghosts.
- 37% believe in demons.
- 37% believe in psychics.
- Of those who believe in ghosts, only 24% would buy a house where the previous owners were murdered, compared to 38% who wouldn’t.
- While 35% who don’t believe in ghosts would, and 30% wouldn’t.
- 30% who believe in demons would buy a murder house, while 34% who don’t believe would as well.
- Like ghost believers, those who believe in psychics are more hesitant, with only 24% willing to buy a house where the owners were murdered, and 38% saying absolutely not.
