Would You Buy a House...

[Lily Adler]

If someone died in it?

 

[Marvolo]

One of my childhood homes had someone die in it. And my grandmother's house that I spent a lot of my childhood in had more than one person die in it. I now own the latter.

Idk if I'd want to live in a house where a violent murder took place.

Buy a house??

[Prison Mike]

Nope

Friend was looking at a house. Cop friend in the neighborhood said someone committed suicide in that house by hanging. They didn't buy that house.

We bought a house new and since it had a basement, I'm fairly certain it wasn't an ancient burial ground.

 

[ComicChick]

the house i bought had two people die in it; my grandparents.

 

[Immortalfire]

Yes, it would only add to the charm.

 

[squeekness]

You'll never be alone.

"someone die in" as in the former elderly owner(s) passed peacefully in their sleep...
wouldn't really phase me

if we were talking violent murder(s), that might give me more pause (depending if it was an isolated incident, or a result of raising crime rates in the area)

 

[Gee]

I have no problems with natural deaths (old age) or medically assisted deaths.

If there was a murder, I would seriously ponder. I'd make sure to negotiate for a good price and thoroughly inspect the house especially between the walls. Don't want any surprises like in Sicario...

Buy a house??

Ditto. The market is quite crazy here in Montreal but we're not up there yet with Vancouver and Toronto.

I'm patiently waiting for my parents to pass away so I can inherit their house.

I lived in the house that my mother died in for ten years after the fact. A house with a murder would give me the creeps but I'd probably buy it and get used to the idea.

When my ex and I were house hunting, we won a bid on a house that was next to a cemetery. We didn't mind it but her mom was against it. We didn't buy the house because of the insane number of things wrong with it but her mom was still glad to be rid of the graveyard.

 

[jesss]

No, definitely no

 

[squeekness]

You could always call a priest or a Reiki Master to come and bless the place.

My wife and I looked at a house once that was priced well below market value for its size and location. As we became more interested, our relator became sheepish before admitting to us that the house belonged to Mel Ignatow years prior. Being from Kentucky, we immediately recognized the name. Ignatow quite gruesomely killed his girlfriend but was acquitted at trial. Later, when he was having carpet installed at his house (the one we were looking at), the installers removed an HVAC register and found photographs that Ignatow had taken of him torturing and sodomizing his girlfriend prior to killing her. Ignatow could not be retried for the crime because of double jeopardy he but was convicted of perjury.

Even though the murder didn’t happen at the house, we were sufficiently freaked out enough by the fact that such a monster lived in the house (and that the photographs were left there as well) that we could not bring ourselves to buy it.

And I haven’t regretted that decision for a second.

I don't think I could have either, yikes! Who knows what kind of bad energy he left behind?
