Morbid curiosity would lead me to ask/investigate the circumstances around the death, but I wouldn't mind living where a corpse was.

If somebody was brutally murdered in their house, then I would care, but it probably wouldn't affect anything too much as long as it was a decent time ago (basically, after the investigation is over). Otherwise, no, I really wouldn't care.

I would be much more concerned if somebody was making drugs or the like in the house. Who knows what kind of damage doing that kind of stuff might cause?

I already HAVE lived in a house where a woman was murdered by her husband. He sold it to us for cheap, and we only found out later that he killed his wife by locking her in the garage and setting it on fire only a few months before. Well, living in a murder house isn't all that bad. No ghosts or anything...

I'd certainly use that fact to try and bring the cost of the house down. But I live in the UK; we have a lot of old houses (and lets face, anything pre-1920's probably had someone die in it).

Also, with the shortage of houses...not sure I'd have a choice

Depends on how they died. If it was a murder, again depends. Some people might say this is bupkis, but I've been in a few houses where people have died. Some really, really old. I once stayed in a house built before the revolutionary war, I think the year was like 1768 or something. The record said that 9 people died in that house over the years from one way or another. I didn't know that at first, and even before I found out I was never comfortable there. Something about that house was creepy, it felt wrong. I always felt like I was being watched in that house, and the air in that house felt very heavy and unfriendly. I found out later about the deaths, and it certainly didn't surprise me. You couldn't get me to sleep another night in that awful house.

I'd obviously want a proper home to live in, but I don't see how the fact that someone died somewhere should stop me from living there.

I'd like to buy my grandmother's old house someday, and both she and my grandfather died in it. Does that answer your question?

It depends.

I'm really open to "death houses", including murders and stuff like that, but if there was an active attempt to perform summonings or seances where someone died... Let's just say that I've seen weird stuff, and would rather avoid any chance of encountering it again.

If the person died of natural causes, then I wouldn't have any problems.

If somebody broke in in the middle of the night and sacrificed the person in a satanic ritual I might be a little leery.

Sure, two people died in my family's house. My grandfather and his father (who originally built the house), I believe. The latter died in my bedroom and my grandfather died in the room that is now my dad's office before I was born.

Quite a few people have died in my house. the first floor is very old with the second story being built about 60 years ago. its can be kind of creepy. There are alot of stories about the house I live in. But it was my great-grandfather that built the second story so some of the people that have died here are relations. Though there have been plenty of fanily members that all claim to have seen things and hear things here, including myself. I once thought i seen an old man in a room that we kinda keep as a junk room, also 4 others have said they seen an old man in the same room though years before i was even born. We also have a family friend that claims she seen a man in the back garden and she described him the same way as my grandmother had described the man she seen. It doesn't really bother any of us. Though the only time i can honestly say i was freaked out was a few years ago when there was only me and my grandmother in the house and we both heard footsteps on the stairs going up and down, and had no way to explain it.

This thread needs Dara O'Brian.


That said, I don't really care much about the murders. I've got Ghostbusters on speed-dial!

It really depends. If someone died of natural causes in the house, then yes. If someone was murdered during a break-in, then no.

I would like to know the circumstances behind the death but aside from that, I have no problems living in a death house. Odds are you're already in one as it is so I don't see it as being a big issue. Of course you don't let the Realtor know that so as to drive the final price of the place as low as humanly possible.
