if you found out someone had died in your house would u move?

u_c_thesecond

A friend of mine bought a house about 5 years ago with her hubby and baby. She called me today FREAKING out saying she had found out the last owners dad had died in the house and she was moving out and selling up

Now im pretty freaked out at the thought of ghosts and it got me thinking that if i was in the same situation would i leave? I prob would but thered have to be some creepy goings on for me to. There hasnt been anything creepy goin on and she loved the house until she found this out

So would u leave?

Tonyandthewhale

No, I'm an adult.

orourkeda

No

coffeelover

Yes I would . I'd be too scared to stay.!

Red Hand

People die in my house all the time.

The dead cant harm you.Have you ever seen any ghosts in a graveyard?

Junco Partner

depends. if they were murdered maybe. i wouldnt move though, i'd make sure i knew before i bought it. if i found out afterwards i'd stay unless it went all poltergeist sucking us into tellies and the whole nine yards.

Praetorian Saighdiuir

Not only would I move, but id dance the feck out of there bigtime.

I couldnt relax while having a pedal if Casper was about.

One of my old school mates used to live in a house where there had been a famous axe murder. So what, happened 50 years ago :rolleyes:.

You make your own ghosts - and take them with you whenever you move :cool:

letsbehonest

Well at least if you had some kind of ghost in the house you'll never have to get a burglar alarm put in!

gargleblaster

only if creepy stuff was going on. i couldn't deal with that at all.

salutations

if a moronic simpleton conducted a firesale of her house for **** all because she is afraid of things that don't exist would you ever stop laughing after moving in

No need to move. I moved into my family home where my Dad had died and even slept in the same room and I found nothing wrong with it... felt no vibes or anything.. if anything I felt a sense of calm that I havent sensed in the house we moved into about about 7 years

thebullkf

move the body?....definitely:P


on a serious note- no.

Chris P. Bacon

I moved into my uncles house soon after he died, i held his hand just after he died in the bedroom.And i have slept in that room for the last 2 years and I'll be sleeping in that bedroom tonight.

Cat Melodeon

I sleep in the room my dad died in. Obviously we moved the body before we moved in.

He died?? He just died?? Not chopped up into little pieces, not hacked to death, not bricked up into the wall. He simply died?? Like what happens in most houses in this country at some stage or another. My grandfather died at home, so did my aunt. Should my relatives move out of their houses now for fear they come back???

Jesus, by your/her logic every hospital in the country should be crawling with ghosts. No wonder there are so many on trolleys.

I'm pretty much the same. My granny died in the place that I'm living in now, in fact the PC I'm sitting at is precisely where her bed was.

Stuff like this really doesn't bother me at all, in fact I worked part time in a graveyard during college. It was actually a suprisingly nice place to work.

Same here things like that dont bother me, I loved my uncle and even if there was ghosts i dont think he would be coming back to scare me,he lived well into his 70's and had a good life so there's no need for him to come back,he died happy with his family around him.

And you just know creepy things are going to start now just after she finds out someone died there. Wait and see, although they wont see much as ghosts dont exist.

If I moved into a house and someone had died in it,I'd rather not know about it

Ghosts don't exist.

There is no need to worry unless the person died a violent death or killed themselves, more than likely he died a natural death and has moved onto the next world.

I'd stay. Being on the fence with the whole ghost thing. I would not see the point of moving. I'd want to stay to see if something does happen and try to catch it on camera. Why move?

Rabble Rabble

I live in a house which is < 200 ( and possibly 300) years old. People have died in my bedroom, of course.

HUNK

Absolutely. You could end up walking into one of those spectral bride situations.

kylith

Ghosts don't exist. On top of that, if your house is more than, say, 30 years old there's a good chance someone's died there.

Abi

I recall having a conversation with a friend of mine, where she brought up a house in which a local woman was murdered by her husband. She commented that the house itself was beautiful, and it was in a perfect location but she could never live in it due to the violent nature in which the woman died in.

By no means do I mean to be insensitive about what happened to the woman, but I disagreed with my friend. I really wouldnt have any qualms about it if I loved the house. So yes, I would live in a house where someone had died in, aware of the fact or not.

andrew cross

when people pass away peacefully i dont think you have to worry , just remember that i million died in the famine, 1845 to 1849 so your house is built over their bones, dont worry, dont use any Ouija board to contact them, you should be ok:rolleyes:

Likewise, and this house is also supposed to be haunted by a headless horseman :eek:
There's also a castle beside it where grainne mhaols on was killed, lots of carnage, lots of "ghosts"
All bs obviously, there was a lot more ghosts long ago when people didn't have as much light or TV to distract them. I know of more people being born here than died so maybe that balances it :pac:

Not sure to take this thread seriously or not and get into a big debate about it to be honest.

The second house my family lived in (and my parents still live in) has a pretty weird past. The kitchen used to be a sort of outhouse where they kept horses years ago (my parents completely renovated what was left of the house when they moved in as it had been empty for about 50 years) and it turned out that the family who used to live there, parents and a son, had hung themselves in the outhouse. They were found by a neighbour that was a relative of theirs and who still lives up the road from my parents.

Weird stuff used to happen in the kitchen, noises in the attic above the kitchen, the radio turning itself on and off, the attic door moving and open when we came down in the morning for breakfast and at various times during the day.

Never really bothered any of my family but I can understand why some people may get freaked out.

Corruptedmorals

I'd prefer not to know. If I did, I'd more than likely move, especially if it was a tragic death. I'm a wuss. I live near the house where 4 old women committed suicide by starving themselves to death around 11 years ago, the estate was in its infancy so its possible the owners now didnt find out for a while. Now there's a house I'd never live in!:eek:

Aoifey!

Someone died in my house, my room actually.

Novella

No, I wouldn't move. I don't even understand how someone dying somewhere is freaky? People have to die.

They did. Apparently there was some sort of suicide pact involved. It happened many years before we moved into the house and we only heard about it a good few years after we had moved in so we never really got the full story just little bits from the neighbour (the relative) who obviously wasn't open to talking about it that much.
