For Rent: Wonderful, two bedroom apartment that is totally haunted
Check out this Craigslist ad for a two bedroom apartment in the Italian Market apartment. First paragraph is all normal, right? Good neighborhood, nice families, hardwood floors, yadda yadda yadda but then…
This house has quite a colorful history. From 1949 – 1952, this property was the home of Greek immigrant serial killer, Zorba “The Face Eater.†The bodies of seven of his twenty-five victims were found in a crawl space in the living area. Do not worry though, police removed most of the remains after Zorba was arrested, freeing up the space for you to use as storage. If you are a tenant of this property, on account of Zorba’s fame, you might have some tourists knock on your door, but you have no obligation to let them in to see your house. We had a sign posted out front, but most chose to ignore it. More recently, the last tenant had chronic intestinal issues, necessitating the removal of all house carpets.
Yes, rent our wonderful apartment that was formerly inhabited by a guy who ATE FACES.
While part of me thinks this is fake (a quick Google search pulls up no Zorba Face Eaters), the other part of me totally wants this to be real. What a fun cocktail party fact/easy way to get people out of your apartment.

And you’re ignoring the last line about the chronic intestinal issues? Forget Zorba…
That listing just came up as I searched for apartments (and then google led me to this blog post). I can’t bring myself to email them about it, although but for the serial killer and recent intestinal problems it seems like it would meet my other criteria. Alas.
kind of sounds like Gacy.
Yeah and I’m the asshole that replied to the add, hahaha. Petrified to walk by a cemetary I thought nothing of emailing the guy, come on Bella Vista for $700?! thats too good to pass up! But honestly I think its bullshit, cause theres literally nothing on the internet about any of it…but the chronic intestinal issues did sound odd…

Itguerintee — let us know if you get a response!
AS soon as my friend emailed this to me, I said “they are trying to get on The Blogs.”
Score.

Fake craigslist ads are so 2004.
I really hope they take all the responses, print them out, tape them to a wall at a pretentious art gallery and talk some BS about “real estate and the science of mass fear” or some crap.
Or maybe just post all the responses on a website, and sell t shirts! Whoop de doo!
Boring.
