Location: Red Raiderland | I'm not worried about the haunted aspect  but I am a bit of a germaphobe(mostly to human bodily fluids not animal) and the thought of human blood having been splattered all over and then covered with paint... JUST NO!  |

Location: Montana | It would totally freak me out. One time we had a car that had hit someone (was not the driver's fault) but the person died as a result of that accident. That car disturbed me, I just can't get over that. I don't think I could even go in a house that something like that had taken place, or even just a suicide. It was bother me no end. |

There is a place that we almost bought, and still might in the future, and we went in the house several times and didn't know about the bludgeoning that occurred there until last year. I won't have to ever live in the house but I would sure hate to see what the bathroom looked like under black light!!! The guy that owns the place, and was not there when the murder took place, is quite the slob and a tight ass so I assume the cleanup wasn't up to my standards. It squicks me out just thinking about it. SHIVERS! 
Our local vet knows all about the happenings around here and he is the one that told me about it. He always asks if we are still interested in buying the "haunted" house.    |

I don't know, would it count for you? Some people just aren't bothered by stuff like that like my DH.  |

Location: Opelousas, LA | Two people died in the house we live in now. One was a suicide, the other was rumored to be a murder (poisoning) but nothing was ever proven. Really doesn't bother me much except for one time I found my sons bedroom light on after I know I turned it off, happened twice in one night, kinda freaked me out. If we do have ghosts they must be pretty easy going because I feel comfortable here. |

Location: Southeast Louisiana | I don't know if ghosts exist, but I would like to believe they do. Any time someone says a place is haunted or ghosts have been seen a lot in a certain area, I go looking for them. Haven't seen one yet! So, I think it would be kinda cool to live in a place where seeing them might be a possibility.
As far as buying a place where I know there had been a death, sometimes you can get a great deal just because people don't want to live in such a place and they're hard to sell. I can re-carpet and replace Sheetrock and all. Now, if it had a bad smell from it, probably not! Some things you just can't get them to go away and a really bad smell is one of them. |

Location: MD | I bought a house years ago that I absolutely loved. When the realtor took me to see it, I laughed when we pulled in the driveway and said "I love it, but there's no way that I can afford it." She laughed and said "Oh yes, you can. There have been 4 people murdered and a suicide in this house. Nobody wants it.". I must admit, there were a few freaky things that happened in that house in the years that I lived there, but nothing that ever made me regret having purchased it. |

Think about all the other bodily fluids as well as blood that would be in any home that someone else has lived. Then, think about all the bodily fluids in a dorm room, hotel, motel, gym, locker room, on a used piece of furniture, etc. LOL All of these would only be seen under a blacklight. |

Did you live in the hood?!?! Why so many murders there?  And what kind of "things" happened in the years you lived there? |

If that's true, be afraid. LOL, just kidding. You must have watched or read Anne Of Green Gables? That is the only place I have heard of kindred spirits.
In all seriousness, though, the thought of being somewhere where someone was murdered/committed suicide, the stress would be too much on me and I couldn't take it. It isn't the ghost factor or anything like that, the whole idea just freaks me out. So my answer is a big NO. However, I'm not sure some people are bothered by it, I don't think my folks are. |
