You may or may not want to know about this, but on a simple walk on the street you could see these.
0:11
Well, not actual ghosts, but properties that are regarded as haunted - where unnatural
0:17
deaths took place.
0:19
When you first open the app, what you see is a map, with all the listings mapped so
0:24
these haunted little ghost icons are showing the actual things that happened.
0:28
Okay, so we have one pretty close by.
0:30
In the J Residence.
0:31
There you go. There's one there.
0:32
There's a very famous incident, which took place there and when that property came back
0:37
onto the market, it ended up renting for 56% discount.
0:40
How much of a discount are we talking about on average?
0:43
On average, I'd say 10-20.
0:46
How popular are these haunted house listings?
0:49
For a lot of the younger Chinese and expats...
0:53
They don't mind.
0:56
They just want a bargain.
0:57
I think there's roughly about 5,000 searches using this filter.
1:02
One such bargain hunter is Joseph Ng.
1:04
He's been investing in haunted flats for 20 years.
1:07
This 400 square foot apartment saw two suicides.
1:11
He's renting it out to a local family at 10% cheaper than the market rent.
1:19
If you get it at a bigger discount and are willing to wait until there's a good offer,
1:23
you'll be able to make money.
1:26
But he also warned that banks usually decline mortgages for haunted homes.
1:31
The 65-year-old says he's been making profits of between 8 and 20 percent.
1:37
And what about fixes for those getting the chills?
1:41
In Feng Shui knowledge, the idea is if the environment is having bad Feng Shui and the
1:48
people by mistake, have put some active object in the wrong energy area.
1:53
It will stimulate the negative energy.
1:55
You have to activate the good energy so you might open a window or open a door in the
2:01
place of poisonous energy so the good energy will enter and the negative energy will go away.
