0:02You may or may not want to know about this, but on a simple walk on the street you could see these.

0:11Well, not actual ghosts, but properties that are regarded as haunted - where unnatural

0:17deaths took place.

0:19When you first open the app, what you see is a map, with all the listings mapped so

0:24these haunted little ghost icons are showing the actual things that happened.

0:28Okay, so we have one pretty close by.

0:30In the J Residence.

0:31There you go. There's one there.

0:32There's a very famous incident, which took place there and when that property came back

0:37onto the market, it ended up renting for 56% discount.

0:40How much of a discount are we talking about on average?

0:43On average, I'd say 10-20.

0:46How popular are these haunted house listings?

0:49For a lot of the younger Chinese and expats...

0:53They don't mind.

0:56They just want a bargain.

0:57I think there's roughly about 5,000 searches using this filter.

1:02One such bargain hunter is Joseph Ng.

1:04He's been investing in haunted flats for 20 years.

1:07This 400 square foot apartment saw two suicides.

1:11He's renting it out to a local family at 10% cheaper than the market rent.

1:19If you get it at a bigger discount and are willing to wait until there's a good offer,

1:23you'll be able to make money.

1:26But he also warned that banks usually decline mortgages for haunted homes.

1:31The 65-year-old says he's been making profits of between 8 and 20 percent.

1:37And what about fixes for those getting the chills?

1:41In Feng Shui knowledge, the idea is if the environment is having bad Feng Shui and the

1:48people by mistake, have put some active object in the wrong energy area.

1:53It will stimulate the negative energy.

1:55You have to activate the good energy so you might open a window or open a door in the

2:01place of poisonous energy so the good energy will enter and the negative energy will go away.
