‘Death-tainted’ homes gain appeal

The house that property consultant and ghost investigator Kazutoshi Koda­ma regularly surveys has a grim history: seven years ago, an elderly woman hanged herself in the bathroom and last year, her son died alone, his body undisco­vered for roughly 10 days.

Kodama says he has stayed in the house – located in a quiet residential area in Chiba near Tokyo – from 10pm to 6am nearly 20 times, monitoring with four video cameras, a thermal camera, an electromagnetic field meter, an air pressure gauge, a thermometer and an IC recorder. He takes notes of the readings every hour.
