Ghost hunter: "The master bedroom has an unusual chill, likely due to interdimensional rifts. The bathroom has unexplained water phenomena and the kitchen occasionally smells of sulfur."

Estate agent: "The property has character, charm, and period features. Some walls may be slightly damp but that adds authenticity."

Honestly can't tell the difference anymore. Both are trying to convince you to spend money on something that's probably a complete nightmare. At least the ghost hunters are honest about the problems.

This is genuinely funny and I hate that it's accurate. Both use euphemisms to describe disaster. "Character" = falling apart. "Unusual chill" = terrible insulation and damp. "Period features" = no central heating and asbestos.

"Spiritual energy" and "needs some TLC" are basically the same thing, aren't they? Both mean "this place is a money pit but we're hoping you won't notice until you've signed the paperwork."

Estate agents are worse because they're doing it for commission. Ghost hunters are at least working for the truth (even if the truth is "your house is haunted, innit").

The real issue is that every property in Britain over 200 years old is technically haunted and also damp, so there's basically no difference between "paranormal activity" and "period charm."
