Renters willing to live with ghosts to save money

Willing to play host to a ghost? A recent survey commissioned by Wakefield Research on behalf of Rent.com found that 11 percent of renters believed that their home had ghostly guests, while others insisted they would endure paranormal activity to save money.

Here's the lowdown from the Rent.com press release:

In fact, 69 percent of renters would be willing to crash with Casper for the right price. More than half (51 percent) of renters would share their home with a ghost in exchange for free rent, and over one quarter (27 percent) would do it for half-price.

Three in 10 people who have rented (30 percent) said they’d bunk with the boogeyman if they received free utilities, while nearly one in four (23 percent) would do it in exchange for a free flat-screen TV with cable.

Overall, 31 percent of renters said no deal. Nothing, “not even a million bucks,” would convince them to conquer their phasmophobia (fear of ghosts). However, a greater percentage of males than females are willing to live with ghosts for any given tradeoff (74 percent vs. 64 percent).
