Poll: Someone died in this house...

[Red Oni]

Its an old cliche. People are moving into a new house only to be informed by the Realtor that someone died there. To be honest, the house I currently live in belongs to this old lady who died in it. I knew her when I was young and she was a sweet lady so it's not that creepy... Mostly Do you think you could live in a house where someone died?

 

[Fappy]

Sure, what's the worst that can happen?

I'll just have to make sure there aren't an Indian burial grounds nearby.

 

[Basement Cat]

Sure, and if it turned out to be haunted then, well, let's be honest, a gen-youiiine ghost would be cool!

 

[Kae]

I'm not superstitious, so yes, of course I would be able to live in a house where someone died, though I'm also rather curious so I would also investigate it just out of curiosity , but in any case the fact that somebody died in the house would have no impact on my decision to live there unless I can get them to lower the price because of it.

Somebody did die in my childhood home.
An elderly man, in the room below my bedroom. Not of anything dramatic, just being too old.

I grew up knowing that, me and my sisters used to try and scare each other about it but it was never a big deal.

People die in their houses all the time, someone could have died in this house for all I know.
I mean, it would bother me if someone was like... murdered or something.

But nah, I wouldn't care.
EDIT: I voted `I'd wanna know how it happened`, because I am nosy as hell.

As long as it's not murder by mafia goons (which might make the house itself a target, putting anyone else who lives in it at risk), and as long as there is no serious damage to the house, and no haunting reports, I would probably have no trouble with it.

Although I would probably need to visit it first. If the person's dying emotions were so strong they kinda "impregnated" the air with fear/sadness, then I might not go for it.

But if the person literally just died in their sleep, I don't see the problem.

 

[JoJo]

Sure, as long as it wasn't something super-creepy like a murder or something, then it'd be a "maybe". Uh, why is there a "sure" and "yes" option, surely they mean pretty much the same thing?

 

[DugMachine]

As long as it wasn't in some horrible way and there are like blood stains soaked into the floorboards... it probably wouldn't bother me.

 

[Dags90]

I'd care more about break-ins and the like that might suggest the house is a target. I really don't care about ghosts, because they don't exist.

Erm this. I wonder what the chances are, statistically, of someone dying in any square house plot at any time since humanities growth into civilization. If you took every person that died in the country since humans arrived and worked out on average how much surface area there is per death how small would the ratio be? In London especially where the plague killed thousands of people chances are youre probably living somewhere where a LOT of people died at some time or another.

 

[Esotera]

Two people have been electrocuted in the house where I live, and it's a big creepy Victorian house. Also, it's within 20m of a cemetery and assuming that it's haunted, we're overdue for a death by electrocution.

It doesn't bother me too much though...

 

[Hoplon]

Look I wasn't living there I just had to clean up after my self, stop hassling me about it! Jeez, some things people will just never let go of.

 

[Aris Khandr]

In general, yes, I could. However, I'm going to inherit my mother's house when she goes, and I'll likely have to sell it and move. Even if my mother doesn't die in her house, the fact remains that the master bedroom will always be "her room" to me, and I couldn't move into it. And as the other bedrooms are tiny, it is just far more practical to move.

Yeah, I've been thinking about this a bit.

 

[teqrevisited]

Someone died in the house I live in at the moment. Before the previous tenants lived here there was an old woman that lived here who died in what is now the kitchen.

If something goes missing we sometimes joke that she's tidied it away but it doesn't bother anyone.

 

[PsychicTaco115]

I would go deeper into the mystery, eventually finding out that the owner had been part of a mysterious, ancient cult of a powerful God.

Knowing this, my path would lead me to finding a boarded up door in the basement, filled with various torture devices and writings written in blood...

So yeah, I'd stay there!

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

My sister lives in a place where a guy died. To cover her bases she had it blessed or something before moving in. Personally I wouldn't be too concerned about it.

 

[Dangit2019]

If by "someone died" as in somebody got murdered by gang violence, than yes, but if it's someone committed suicide or died of old age than why should I care? People who are afraid of spirits haunting them and all that other voodoo b.s. can step aside while I bask in a cheap house.

 

[Smertnik]

People die all the time everywhere, who cares?

 

[Scarim Coral]

Probably however as soon I spot anything ghost relative, I running out of the hourse like a madman!
