Earn ₹52,000 to Sleep in a Haunted House! Inside Japan's Creepiest Job

Get Paid ₹52,000 to Spend a Night in a Haunted House: Japan's Bizarre 'Jiko Bukken' Job

Imagine getting paid a handsome amount just to sleep in a house for one night. The only catch? The house might be haunted. A unique and spine-chilling job trend is currently making waves in Japan, where individuals are being hired to spend a night alone in properties with dark and tragic histories to certify them as ghost-free.

Key Highlights of the Job:

  • The Payout: Daredevils are paid 88,000 Yen to stay overnight in homes where murders, suicides, or "lonely deaths" have previously occurred.

  • Stigmatized Properties: In Japanese real estate, these dark-history properties are known as Jiko Bukken.

  • The Investigation: Trained investigators spend the entire night alone in the house, typically from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.. The space is monitored using video cameras, audio recorders, thermography, and electromagnetic detectors.

  • The 'Ghost-Free' Tag: If the night passes without any unexplained phenomena, the company produces a detailed report for real estate agents. This clearance makes it significantly easier for landlords to rent or sell these stigmatized homes to new tenants who might otherwise shun them.
