I mean, since the paranormal doesn't exist unless the people in the house died due to some kind of environmental factor then the number of people who died there is completely irrelevant to the new residents, and does not in any way increase their likelihood of harm.

Really it just lowers the rent or mortgage, an objective win for the new residents.

It's amazing how common this is. One of my old employers got a great discount on rent for office space in a central location because no one wanted to rent on the 13th floor.

I wonder if non-Christian people do not mind living in 13th floors. That superstition of number 13 being unlucky is mostly believed by Christians.

13 being unlucky is mostly believed by Christians.

More like westerns, the superstition started out in Mesopotamia.

I wonder if non-Christian people do not mind living in 13th floors.

Yes, but then they avoid "their" unlucky numbers. Like 4 in Japan.
