Sino-Singapore Jingwei contacted Li Lin, the publisher of this information, as a customer. He said that it is necessary to determine the time in advance and arrange the schedule.
In terms of the quotation, he said, “I’ll collect money in minutes when I do this business. Some skilled hands can make 2,000 yuan a night.”
Earlier, a recruitment announcement for the anchor of the haunted house trial sleeper was circulated on the Internet, stating that the salary is calculated by the minute, 1 yuan per minute.
This also means that if the test sleeper is broadcast live 24 hours a day, he can get 1,440 yuan a day.
In this regard, some netizens said that "I want to lie down and make money", and some netizens think this job is "too unlucky".
In Li Lin's view, "Haunting House Tester" is a good side job, "It's like delivering food. When I want to do it, I will go online and run. When I don't want to do it or I'm tired, I will go offline and go home. rest."
In the introduction of personal information, Li Lin wrote that he is a "post-90s" boy who likes photography, music and the second dimension.
He told Sino-Singapore Jingwei that he hadn't been in the industry for a long time, and the reason why he came into contact with this profession was also introduced by a "proficient".
He said that the customers who come to consult on weekdays are mainly because the house "has had an accident" before. "Some people are worried that there will be problems with their stay at night, so they find someone to try to sleep first and check that there is no problem before moving in."

During the interview, Sino-Singapore Jingwei discovered that in addition to part-time "retail investors" like Li Lin, there are professional teams including real estate companies behind the haunted house trial.

They usually provide a detailed service schedule.
For example, go to the bathroom without turning on the lights at 12 am to check the situation; at 1 am to investigate whether there are any abnormalities under the bed, the roof and doorway of each room, the basement and the balcony, and the corridor; at 2 am, to investigate the whole house condition without turning on the lights; record each time period Abnormal conditions; summarize the abnormal conditions the next morning; mark key dangerous areas...
Zhang Bao is a real estate practitioner.
The post he posted directly stated: "Professional real estate team can live broadcast the whole process, giving the most professional real estate analysis data and user experience."
Zhang Bao told Sino-Singapore Jingwei that "trying to sleep in a haunted house" was only one of their company's businesses.
In fact, they can provide a one-stop service from buying a house, transferring ownership, lending, and even renovation.
"We can also check the'house details' for the homeowner. For example, we can find out'how the person died' through the investigation of the Housing Management Bureau and the investigation of the files by the Public Security Bureau, and the unified collection of 500 yuan will be collected." Come, "trial sleep in a haunted house" is a pseudo-demand. "In general, in the case of a haunted house, if you didn't buy it, the previous owner might not let us in. If we bought it, we don't need to live in it anymore."
China-Singapore Jingwei has previously reported that a large number of advertisements for the sale of murderous houses on the second-hand trading platform have been displayed by real estate agents, accompanied by scary graphic descriptions.
However, further conversations will reveal that behind this may also be the intermediary selling real estate with the "murder house" as a gimmick.
However, rather than selling real estate, trial sleepers use more services to attract traffic.
Zhang Bao said that what they provide is mainly the integrated information of the house, which is used to help the homeowner make a house purchase decision.
"Of course, if we need to try to sleep, we can also."
What should I pay attention to when buying a haunted house?
At present, it is still unknown how much the attention of "Haunting House Testers" and live broadcasts can attract transaction volume.
But for consumers, buying a haunted house is still something that needs to be treated with caution.
Regarding what is a "haunting house", there is no unified concept at the legal level.
According to a judge from the Wuzhong District Court in Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province, the so-called "Haunted House", according to traditional concepts, refers to a house where abnormal deaths have occurred.
In recent years, disputes arising from the sale of "haunted houses" have gradually increased.
It is understood that the price of a "holy house" is about 20% cheaper than that of a house in the same location, attracting some buyers.
A real estate agent also told Zhongxin Jingwei that the transaction price of a haunted house has no fixed rules, but generally it is at least 10% cheaper than the market price. Secondly, it depends on the owner's mentality.
So, what should the buyer pay attention to if he is still willing to buy while he knows it is a "bad house"?
In an interview with Sino-Singapore Jingwei, Wang Yuchen, director of Beijing Jinsui Law Firm and director of real estate law research of Beijing Law Society, said that buyers first need to measure their own psychological endurance.
Second, be sure to check on the spot, have a comprehensive understanding of the house, and fully understand the current situation.
Finally, the price of a general murder house is lower than the price of a conventional house, and it may also be affected when it is sold in the future. It also requires certain judgment and mental preparation.
In addition, including the case of the haunted house auction in Jiangsu, foreclosure is one of the main forms of haunted house transactions.
Wang Yuchen reminded that some foreclosure property rights may have problems.
In some execution auctions, in order to realize the real estate as soon as possible, the property rights of the house may not be thoroughly investigated or required, and the buyer may face the risk of not being able to handle the property rights after obtaining it.
Therefore, buyers must learn as much information about the house as possible, including but not limited to property rights, mortgages, seizures, etc., and go to the property registration department for verification when necessary.
