People died in your house

[Kid Presentable]

And let's presume that you, as a curious being, want to find out about it. How do you go about this? Would you be made uncomfortable by this information? Would it make you leave/ reconsider buying a house?

[zorra_chiflada]

i wouldn't want to live there, but joe would probably make me and then i'd get haunted and go crazy :(

[synch]

We were the first people to inhabit this particular house so we won't be haunted anytime soon.

It's not like that ancient burial ground is going to be trouble.

Always got bones for soup, too.(y)

[yooooo]

nice avatar kid p,

i would summon them and make them my friends, unless its a crazy-ass-nazi or some shit like that

[Beckalina]

I'd go look for the local crazy man/woman who hangs outside the library and ask him/her about the dead people. I'd start researching the spirit and it would get angry with me, but I wouldn't move out, oh no, I'd try and get the spirit out of my house, lots of scary shit would happen.........

blah blah blah


........... then my head would be microwaved by said spirit.

[Doobiebee]

I probably be be like aww, poor people, then, omg! And freaked out, but then pretend to be like meh, and not give it too much thought. Until one time, when I'm alone, with a slightly paranoid feeling gnawing at the back of my mind, I'd ring one of my friends, and they would tell me not to look in reflective surfaces, or go near shadows, or think about ghosts because it heightens your sensitivity to them and I would start to see moving shadows and freak out majorly and start to cry, and then have a heart-attack and die. Oh, and the afterwards it would be me haunting the house, and the same thing would happen over and over...muahahahahaa! Okay, that was really lame.

When I was in High School my father owned a farm. The farm had 3 small houses on the property. An old white house near the front of the property held many local secrets. Apparently a family lived in it at one time and the father was an abusive alcoholic. One night the father was beating the mother and the teenage son came in the room and blasted him with a shotgun. The father was killed on the spot. Some friends and I would go camping on the farm on weekends and sometimes sleep in the house. We would get stoned and always think we would hear footsteps or voices.

Sometimes I heard foot steps coming from my attic. It used to freak me out but after awhile I just had to accept that my house makes noises... probably because it's wood in the attic.

[Tzar]

i'd wait for Sam and Dean to come along and kick some serious spiritual ass.

[jackrock]

In 2 weeks i will have lived in about 12 houses. Surely in at least one of those someone was slaughtered.

[SobaViolence]

someone who rented my cottage died in his sleep. in what would normally be my mother's bed.

no ghosts or nothing.

just kinda weird.

[yooooo]

some dude offered me a german car, forgot the name, very cheap.

i asked and he said someone died in that car. the smell would never evaporate

[louise]

in my old house the owner died in-there but we rebuild it that much i never thought about it anymore....btw if i was interested i could have asked the neigbers. In the house i live in now the ladie told me her husband died 3 years ago i don't know where but i don't care either....

[ericlee]

My friend actually lives in a house where the previous owner's son went crazy and killed his mom, dad and dog with a shotgun and then he killed himself.

He had to do alot of scrubbing on the walls but it doesn't bother him a bit. It's a real nice house that's worth at least $450,000 but he got it for $35,000.

I visit him often and I can sense a strange vide but he's never experienced anything unusual.

[fucktopgirl]

i would' nt buy/live in a house where somebody died...just scary shit man!

reason of editing: forgot the " nt" and it change all the meaning of my post!

[na§tee]

ooh, has someone died in your house? tellustellustellus!

uhm..
having death in someplace where you lived would sorta scare the panties offa me, because i'm an easily suggestable girl. i can't watch most haunted on my own without being convinced just by challenging their existence ghosts are totally gonna target my ass and kill me in my sleep. so yes. it would scare me.

I grew up in a pub. There were plenty of spirits about, ho ho! Seriously though, I lived in a haunted pub. I don't know if the old resident management/staff had died or whatever, I suppose it could have been haunted by an old punter.

I should think so, but I wouldn't know exactly as I have a phobia of cellars and have never ventured into one since I was very small. I've even had to avoid it at jobs! How shameful. They're frightening to me because of an element of personal lameness rather than an element of the supernatural.

I'm so glad I live in a newish house now where the sprits really can be contained in nice, solid bottles!

I was told that someone was murdered in my grandparents' house before they bought it, which is why they got it (and their land) for sooooo cheap. They have a 3-bedroom, 2-level house with a huge amount of forest/river/meadows/creeks. The house itself is very scary. Creeky, old...snakes living in the basement. You have to take an unpaved and bumpy road for about a third of a mile to their house - they have to drive to their mailbox everyday. And all of their next door neighbors have one of two last names - a LOT of inbreeding goes on around them. (They're on the border of MD and PA, by the way).

Needless to say, it's very scary. I just ignore the fact that there was a killing there, and don't sleep over.

[DroppinScience]

I'm not 100% sure, but in the current house I'm living in, the previous owner (an elderly lady) died and it was vacant for awhile. I can't recall whether she died while living there or if she died at an old folks' home.

Either way, I haven't thought about it much and the house is most definitely not haunted. So it's a non-issue.

We used to live in a house that was a sanitarium for TB sufferers, so it was safe to assume that a few people had died there. It was a very airy, light filled place with very pleasant gardens and surrounds. Occasionally I saw the odd flash of white light, but nothing too weird or freaky happened.

In 2003 we lived above a 16th century cider house. Some nights the alarms would go off for no good reason, and we had technicians out each time, reporting that nothing was wrong. I used to have to walk through the pub in the dark, with a spiked bat, looking around for bandits. And I would be freaked the fuck out enough to belive there were ghosts around instead.

One guy hung himself about 15-20 yrs before I moved into one of my former appartments. That's all I know cause noone in the house was yet living there at the time, owners changed etc. I got confirmation from the pastry maker across the street one time though, but he was like"Please don't scare my paying customers"...

[Nivvie]

I lived in too many houses, and although many have been very old, so it's normal for there to have been deaths, there were only two recently. Both times old ladies were found dead in their beds, however, it's worth remembering with many old houses, before chapels of rest were established anywhere other than cities, and then many people didn't want to use them, so the body would have been put in the front room, to await burial. It was even considered lucky in some places a hundred years a go or so, to be touched by the dead hand, so people would knock on the door and ask to be touched. So if your house is more than a hundred years old or so, it's probably had corpses resting it in.

It's my bigest regret I have yet to see a ghost. I have been dropping off a body in the middle of the night and felt watched, had someone drop their end of the box and run off as they've seen someone behind me, watched windows smash for no reason, and while working in an autism unit, all kinds of crap you wouldn't believe, but I saw nothing. Bugger.
I have met some odd people though work though, wandering about in the night, and I like to think that at least one of them was a ghost.
