Creepy house in Harajuku

I was surprised to see this really old house in between two large modern buildings. It looked creepy and haunted... and had graffiti all over it. The Construction vehicle was just passing by... and not demolishing it or anything just in case you were wondering. I wonder why it's still there... maybe it's cursed and nobody wants to knock it down out of fear? Pretty cool contrast though. If you're walking down this street, you can't miss it.
