difficult to explain,

presentation here

that sort of lays it out.

‐ Oh.

(indistinct diner conversation)

SMEP?

‐ Oh, you have no idea how many
euphemisms we focus‐grouped

before we hit on
"metaphysically‐engaged."

‐ I don't get it.

‐ Well, we were hoping to spell
out something cool like SPECTRE,

about haunted houses?

‐ Well, focus groups, they
slaughtered that one.

But here is a term they loved.

(whoosh)

(man singing on radio)

‐ A "stigmatized property"

is one whose market value
has been affected by

unfortunate occurrences.

(man continues singing)

Tragic events associated
with the property,

including, but not
limited to, murder...

(gunshot) ... suicide...
(gunshot)

... even accidental death.
(gunshot)

... or the perception,
real or imagined,

of any residual unpleasantness

related to said unfortunate
occurrences.

‐ Residual unpleasantness?

‐ This next slide is a
little scary.

‐ Can you take it?
‐ Eh.

(whooshes)

A stigmatized property
could lose up to 35%

of its market value. It could
take up to 317% longer to sell.

‐ Because of a ghost?

‐ Did I mention ghost? Do you
see the "g" word?

No, many stigmatized properties
‐‐ they're totally normal.

But even the perception of
creepiness, it just kills them.

And even when phenomena
are present,

most of the time there's a
totally rational explanation.

Weird reflections.
Noisy pipes. Mice.

A downdraft that can
make a fireplace...

‐ Reach out to grab you

and suck you screaming
feet‐first into hell?

‐ Occasionally irrational
explanations are required.

I had been looking at
autopsy photos all day.

I'm a med student.

that haunted houses are real

insofar as the
reputation of the house

being haunted impacts its value.

they help their clients

sell their houses
