WrapSnap - 2015-08-30 9:53 PM 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.
Did you live in the hood?!?! Why so many murders there?  And what kind of "things" happened in the years you lived there?
Nope. It dang sure wasn't the hood. The first incident was never solved. It was an apparent "burglary" back in the 50's. Husband, wife and child all found dead in the house. Then a husband killed his wife before killing himself in the 80's. As for the things that happened there. It was just always weird little things. The lights would somehow get turned on in the little courtyard garden just outside my bedroom in the middle of the night. The only switch for them was in my bedroom. I'd wake up to the light shining through the French doors. There were always random things happening with electronics. The doorway to what had been a "cold room" under the stairs would open randomly. Like there were times that as I was walking down the hall, I would watch the knob turn and the door swing all the way open, as if someone was going in there to get something. |

I know this one works, our house is 132yrs old, I ran the report, it said nobody had died here, but it did have the death of my FIL listed since he owned it and where he died. I am fairly certain deaths have happened here with as old as it is, but just nothing on paper.

Location: Gainesville, TX | Nah doesn't bother me. Right after I got out of high school, my parents bought a house that was foreclosed on by the bank because the guy who had lived there was a drug dealer and had accidentally killed himself by swallowing a bag of cocaine to protect it from the cops. The bag burst open in his stomach and he overdosed. They lived there a few years. Not really any problems and it was a nice house. They made some good changes and sold it a bit later for a profit.
Now the house my mom lived in growing up (I think a great aunt or something passed on in) . . . there are some definite stories about it. |

Location: North Dakota | I would SO buy a house someone died in. I 100% believe in ghosts, but I think they're COOL and I've already lived in a haunted house once, as long as I'm not all alone then it's kinda neat. Right now I live in a brand new appartment and it's a little boring w/o an invisible housemate touching me or making noises or giving me creepy feelings. I know it sounds morbid, but ghosts, murders, serial killers, etc are all super interesting to me.

Location: southeast Texas | When I was in HS, my best friend would tell me about living in a haunted house. Different stories. Most of the ghosts were from the civil war. Old house.
I would think, OK. That's interesting. Years later I was reading a paper back of ghost stories. Low and behold her ghost story house was in there.
Only you can decide if living in that type of house would bother you. We are all different |

Location: In The Snow, AZ | Nope. When I was younger, we lived in a hunted house. Not sure if someone died there. But there was something weird and our family of five all knew it. We didn't say a word about it until we moved. I can remember hearing footsteps coming up the stairs and hiding under my bed. My older brother slept with his light on and a baseball bat. My mom would push the couch in front of the doors. Doors would open at night. Lights would turn on. My mom heard whispering a lot. Nope.
my husband, daughter and I lived in a house a few years ago that was off...our daughter would be in bed and we would be out watching tv. We both saw her run by and into the kitchen. So I'd go to put her back in bed and there was nobody there. She was sound asleep in bed. That happened multiple times while we lived there. And our daughter was always terrified of one room in that house.
i love scary movies. But I don't need to be in one...

Your story reminds me of when I was little. My parents lived in a small single wide trailer when I was about 3 years old or so, and at night they would hear the pitter patter of kids running up and down the hallway barefoot and giggling. They would get up to check on my brother and I and we would both be sound asleep.....creepy.

But I am pretty positive that they have "cleaners" that come in after any sort of violent death and they completely remove any materials that may have body fluids on them. They cut out drywall and replace it, rip up carpet, etc. It is definitely more than just throwing a new coat of paint up and laying an area rug down.lol |

I know there are professional companies that do this but who has to pay for it? I would think that home owner's insurance would cover it but I'm telling you, this guy is quite the slob and VERY cheap so I doubt he would fork out the dough for the pro service. He is a "slum lord" in Dallas and Ft Worth so I am guessing he has had to do many murder scene clean ups at his shanty apartments.
Does anyone remember the movie, "Sunshine Cleaners"? It came out a few years ago and it was a comedy about two young women that owned one of those crime scene cleanup companies. The trailer looked hysterical but I never did get to see it. They show them moving a blood spatter mattress and one person accidentally falls on it while they are removing it from the scene!!!    |
