Seasonal Survey Shows Ghosts Aren't The Worst Roommates


In a recent survey commissioned by Rent.com, it was revealed that 11 percent of renters believe they have lived in a home inhabited by ghosts. What's more, about half of those surveyed said they'd be willing to bunk with Casper if they got a deal on expenses.

Have these people seen the movie Paranormal Acitivity?

Apparently not, since another 30% of the 1000 people surveyed said they'd do it for free utilities. Rent.com says 23% said they would bunk with a spook for a free flat-screen TV with cable. And a sensible 31% said they would not live with a ghost under any circumstances.

The biggest horror stories renters tell is of nightmarish roommates -- 35 percent said the worst thing a roommate can do is leave the living room or kitchen messy, while 13 percent said blasting loud music was the mark of the worst roommate.
