In honor of the spookiest month of the year, Rent.com conducted a survey that found two-thirds of renters would bunk with ghosts if it meant cheaper rent.
Survey says:
51 percent of renters would live with ghosts if their rent was free.
27 percent would live with ghosts for half-price rent.
30 percent would do it for free utilities.
23 percent would do it for a free flat-screen TV with cable. (Anyone care to guess how many of the people who picked this option were men?)
31 percent said there was no way they'd live with ghosts.
The numbers don't add up to 100 because the people who said they'd live with ghosts could say yes to multiple circumstances, but you get the idea.

So here are the circumstances: In your current home, doors start slamming inexplicably, rooms get cold without warning, your pets are constantly spooked, and sometimes you hear disembodied crying or screams late at night.
Would you stay if the rent was free? Cut in half? If you got free utilities? Or a new TV with free cable? How 'bout a new pair of shoes every week? Free nightly massages?
While free rent sounds fantabulous, I have to say I'd get the hell outta dodge. Quickly. (I don't do scary movies, never mind scary living setups!)
