Would you ever move into a place you know someone died in?

[thatguy1]

I hate to be so blunt but the truth is I could tell the agent I'm really superstitious about that stuff (even though I'm not) and use that as an extremely effective bargaining tool.

Would the type of death affect your decision?

What if the house was built on land someone died on?

I can't say I believe in ghosts or superstition, if anything strange happened I'd assume it could be explained by science somehow. However, the thought of it always scared me, and I really wouldn't want to know the sad history of a house I was moving into. I don't think I'd mind so much if it was a peaceful death or if I was living with lots of people.

Sorry if I brought up any paranoia or bad feelings by bringing up a morbid topic. *hugs* It will be okay. Something just went "bang" really loudly like a cupboard door slamming at 2:30am. I think it's kind of windy, that must be it. Stuff like that always seems to happen when I've made myself paranoid and hyper-alert by reading ghost stories.

A friend of mine lived in a dental surgery as a kid, and happens to know that a man shot himself in what became the foyer area, with a shotgun. One day he was wandering around after hours and spotted a man standing at the end of the hallway; Said man turned, walked into the foyer, and my friend followed him in; He wasn't there. The room was, however, obscenely cold.

... that said? I know a dude hung himself in this house. And yeah, I live here, don't I? I have no clue where he did but hey. Also a good friend of the family still lives in the house where their son committed suicide. Sad things, all, but a house is a house, isn't it?

Prooooobably the creepiest thing was a friend of a friend's place; The house got relocated and after 20 years, a cold case reopened; They found more evidence in that house, and it was enough for a murder conviction. That whole place had a bad habit of routinely totally unlocking itself and moving shit around. Unless some previous tenant had a key...

.. see, this is the sort of shit you just don't want to know moving into a place. I really wish I didn't know what I do about this house.

 

[MindBullets]

Depends on the cause. If it was natural, I'd probably not be too bothered. If someone broke in and murdered them for their stuff, well it doesn't exactly reflect well on the area, does it?

 

[icyneesan]

My mother refuses to move into a house unless its brand new and no one has ever lived in it. So yeah I guess this obviously would effect our decision. If it was just me moving into the house, no probably not.

 

[Daggedawg]

I'd probably be okay with it. I don't believe in ghosts or lingering spirits or anything like that. As long as the place was well cleaned, I'd move in no problem.

 

[dark_mist34]

i would have not problem with moving into a house that someone died in.

 

[Sticky Squid]

I would only have a problem with it if the house is left with visible marks of somebody dieing there.

 

[6037084]

since chances are someone has died in, on, or below your house some time in the past it doesn't really bother me, besides if ghosts were real i don't think they'd spend their time scaring people

 

[Erja_Perttu]

Well, I live on a house built on an old hospital, next to a graveyard.

I can safely say it doesn't bother me one bit.

 

[bz316]

I once found a dead guy in my favorite seat of the coffee house I always went to in university. A couple of hours later, once the paramedics had removed the corpse, I sat back in my spot and continued with my day. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have a problem with a house where someone had died.

 

[The Human Torch]

Would be no problem for me. An old friend (and his girlfriend) of mine moved out of his home because he thought that it was haunted. He is also a major idiot.

 

[kasperbbs]

If i like the house ,and theres no smell of rotten flesh and blood splattered all over the place i wouldn't care ,unless the place used to be a morgue or a home of a serial killer where he used to bring his victims ,i see how that might make people avoid coming over.

 

[Not-here-anymore]

Makes no difference to me. Besides, if by some bizarre quirk of metaphysics they did come back as a ghost, I'd get a nice little peek into the afterlife.

 

[DuctTapeJedi]

I'll probably end up living wherever I can afford.
As long as they've moved the body out.

 

[Artina89]

Yeah I would still live in a house where someone has died. A roof is a roof as far as I am concerned. As long as the rent is decent and it is a comfortable place to be then I wouldn't have any qualms about calling it home.

 

[TehCookie]

My friend lives in a house built on old farmland (the really old farmland where they buried their own dead) and also a guy murdered a kid in that house then killed himself, and strange things do happen. Then again you hear a pounding on the door all you have to do is yell shut up and go back to sleep, it's more annoying than scary.

So if I lived in a house like that I wouldn't care.

 

[PurplePlatypus]

It very much depends on how/why they died.

 

[jawakiller]

Of course I would live in a dead guys house. They don't need it anymore... ( and if a ghost wants to screw with me well... uh, ya know... yeah, ok. i have never seen a real ghost and lets hope it stays that way) Cuz i'll fuck that ghost up. jk =P

 

[razerdoh]

the previous owners of my house got murderd in the living room, about 3meters from were im sitting...

 

[Lazzi]

Id have no problem for the most part. Old people pass away all the time, its what they do. So if an elderly women passed away in a house I would have no problem moving in.


Super evil cult rape/torture/scrifical alter dungeon/basement house however may be a bit to much for me. I may not belive in ghost but thats just a bit to much bad juju for me...
