Your house was built on a cemetary - would you be worried?

Parents house was built on something similar, I think it was to do with people who died in the workhouse! There was also a few nuns hanged on a tree up from the parents house.

In answer to your question... It scares the fnck out of me when I think about it but I grew up knowing so it has sunk in. Also I don't live with the parents anymore so that could be it too

It would bother me if I did a lot of gardening...

I was watching the 1980s horror film Poltergeist and the house in which the family that were terrorised by evil spirits was built on a burial ground.

If you found out that your beloved domicile was built over dead bodies, would it concern you? There apparently are stories of houses that were built over burial grounds that are haunted by ghosts/poltergeists and such.

Would it bother you? Would it worry you that a horde of rotting, skeletal corpses could smash up through your floor to take their vengeance out on you, your spouse, your 2.1 children and the family dog. What if the family gimp became possessed by evil spirits - would it put a dampner on your kinky sex sessions?

Does it keep you awake at night?

Say whaaaaaat?

Nope. I love those property programmes where they turn a church into a house and they have a cemetary in the garden. Always fancied living somewhere like that. Although I think I would have plenty of lights up the path!!

Kane out of Poltergeist 2 is one scary b@stard

You're all gonna die in there! All of you! You are gonna die!

It would be a grave situation.

I'll get my coat.

Lots of food for my pet worms, wouldn't have to go into town to buy that fancy shite anymore.

What are you growing that needs you to dig down six feet!

Corpses.

I suppose I would be worried but not alot you can do if its mortgaged :eek:. After we bought this house we were told 2 old brothers died in it back in the 70's. Where the original fireplace used to be is now a wall and the bathroom door is just opisite it so thats where the chair used to be and we were told they had died in front of the fire. Never thought anything of it untill get started getting a slight smell of stale cigarette smoke.

It would be right in front of the bathroom door, and I mean right in front of it not to the sides f it, you could walk right by and smell it then its gone once you passed the door. Friends of ours have gotten some weird feelings in the bathroom :eek: and the last time one of them was in having a shower and just as she came out she thought the saw someone walking into the room beside the bathroom, she thought it was my wife so she went in to her but there was no one in the room, she said it freaked her out big time.

So in short my house is somewhat haunted but nothing I can do about it and no harm has come to anyone living here so happy days.

Was in the car a while back with my young nieces. It so happened that we passed a house for sale which adjoined a graveyard.

"That's a grand house," said I, "You wouldn't have to worry about noisy neighbours". "Yeah," said my 12 year old niece, "but, you know - Zombocalypse".

Head screwed on right, that girl.

Wasnt parts of Tallaght built on a mass grave? Ive definitly seen a few zombie like creatures waiting at the bus stop going up to Glenshane.

Many years ago, we bought a house in the Country.

It had been a working farm from many years and we wanted to turn into a B&B.

Lots of space and room to add on a couple chalets.

We went through the usual planning permission stuff and had surveyors check out.

It was when we started to do the renovations on the older part of the farm, that strange things started to happen.

One evening every window on the farm shattered and broke at the same time.

The surveyor said it might be due to the foundations moving, but we checked it out and the foundations were fine.

Someone suggested it might have been some form of sound at a pitch Humans can’t hear but of such a frequency it could shatter glass.

After that the plumbing stated to act up, taps turning themselves on and off by themselves.

Then the night-time footsteps followed, we would be in bed, then you could hear footsteps coming up the stairs, down the landing, and STOP outside our bedroom door. Then” KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK”

We couldn’t move or speak as we were so terrified.

Then the footsteps would go to the next room (Where the Kids were) Again we would hear the” KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK” on the door.

The kids started to scream and I ran out on the landing, but there was nobody there.

I told them that as this was an old house, it would make some noises and as we were living in an isolated area, we would be more aware of sounds throughout the night.

The next day we brought the kids to my sisters to let them stay with her.
We told them it was only until we got all the work done and that the house would be much quieter.

The next night we were in bed, we heard scratching sound at our bedroom door.

I got up and grabbed my hurly stick and approached the door slowly.

I carefully grabbed the door handled and quickly pulled open the door.

Our pet Dog was sitting there looking terrified and shivering with fright.

I picked him up and put him on the end of our bed.

A few moments later we heard the footsteps coming up the stairs again, then down the landing to our door.

Our Dog and started to growl in the direction of thedoor……………………………….” KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK”


The Dog ran towards the door and started barking, she wouldn’t come back when I called her so I got up and went towards the door and slowly opened it.

Our Dog ran out and down the stairs to the Kitchen, then down to the basement.

I could hear her barking like mad and I followed her down to the basement.

She was staring at a spot on the floor barking and scratching the ground.

There were loose tiles there, so I prised them open with a claw hammer.

The earth under was soft and wet.

I got a shovel and started to dig.

After about ten minutes or so I hit what felt like wood.

I kept on digging when all of a sudden the part of the floor I was standing on gave way.

Down I went falling about 15 feet into what seemed like a closet of Darkness.

It was pitch black down there and all I could see was the Dog barking from above, looking down.

I called out to my wife to come and help.

She eventually came down and asked me what happened.

I quickly explained and asked her to get me a flashlight.

While she was looking for the flashlight, I felt around in the blackness of the pit which to seemed to surround and envelop me in its dark eerie grip.

I came across what seemed to be like a headstone with letters on it.

I felt along these letters to try to understand what was written there, but it was in a language I didn’t understand.

As I felt around there were more and more of these stones scattered around the place.

Finally my wife came back with a torch and threw it down to me.

Excitedly I switched it on and looked on the carvings on the stones.
They read………………………Maadhav………….. Jadhav……….. Chaarudatt……….. Raghav.






It was only then that I realised our house had been built on an old Indian Burial Ground.

When I eventually got out of the hole we decided to leave at once.

We took whatever we could carry and got in the car.

Just as we were about leave we heard a whistling noise coming from the sky and as we were driving off, a UFO came from above the trees and crashed into the house we had just left.

We stared in disbelief at what we had seen before our eyes, but the Spacecraft was still intact.

I got out of the car to have a closer look and as I was standing there a door opened in the strange craft.

A bright light beckoned me towards the door.


As I went towards the light…………………then again……….that’s another story

A lot of houses in my area are built on the site of a workhouse, part of which was a graveyard, though there are no houses built directly over the graveyard afaik

Yes I would be worried because your living on dead people.
