Do you know the dark past of the house you bought?

    I am concerned about this if I am buying a secondhand house. Did people die in the house? Any murder happened in it or some bones are buried beneath the garden... What do you think?:eek:

    For some reason i find the term "second hand house" to be odd and i have no idea why.

    My house was completely trashed and the previous occupants took everything that wasn't nailed down, and some stuff that was. Who takes windows with them when they move!? Twas basically a shell when we moved in and it had been home to a few junkie squatters for a while previous.

    My parents' house dates from sometime around the Famine so it'd be weirder if someone hadn't died in it.

    Id think think twice about buying a house in a ghost estate.......... :eek:

    Look at it this way, this island has been inhabited for 1000's of years and at one point had over 8 million people living here. Finding a patch of land where someone didn't die would probably be quite hard. :)

    When i moved in my neighbours told me the previous owners were odd and the neighbourhood suspected them of hosting sex parties, orgies and the like :eek:

    I've spent the last three years tapping the wall, lifting floor boards etc to find any secret sex rooms.

    No joy yet.....:mad:

    We lived in a house that was supposedly built on a fairy fort.

    I only learned about it later after we'd sold it. Nothing unusual ever happened but nobodies ever owned the place for more than ten years.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,089 ✭✭✭DjFlin


    Six years ago, a group of campers stayed there and got trapped. Had to eat each other to stay alive. Used to be the old Riley House. People killed over fifty children and kept their bodies in the cellar. Its cursed, you know. They've built it with the bones of the two hundred Chinese laborers who were massacred in '34. Yea, a lot of history in that house."

    a hamster died in mine. sometimes late at night, you can still hear the wheel, forever turning, only the cage is empty...

    woooooOOOHHHH!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,910 ✭✭✭OneArt


    With every apartment I've rented I'd lie in bed sometimes wondering how many people have had sex in it. Kind of creeps me out.

    im sure many have died on the land before you're house was even build over millions of years...

    My aunt and her family live in a converted coach house that dates back to the 1800s. They bought it in 06 and have a big mortgage running on it. In the last year or so they have experienced some weird activity in the house such as lights turning on and off on their own accord and the front door been wide open in the mornings. My aunt and her husband are rational people so I have to say I believe them when they say these occurrences are happening.

    Longford ....? ;)


    My place was a semi derelict shell when I bought it. I've since spent myself skint on starting to do it up in sympathy with how it would have looked, back in the day, if they'd had the money to spare for it.

    Anyway; Chatting to the local, life long and then about to retire Gard, he said; " Ah, the old McG' place? Ah. Now that place has some history to it ..... " I'm like :eek: " The Bodies In The Bog " case?!

    Then a guy from the family that had always lived here turned up one day. He told me how his uncle, who'd lived here, had many times been kicked out of his bed by the Black 'n Tans! Just about enough to send me into a psychopathic rage! :mad:

    But, no. This is a contented enough home. I've worked in places which have been repossessed. Where the doors had burst open even as the kiddies ate their breakfast and never finished it.

    Believe me, OP; Such places are truly 'Haunted'. The walls drip with a tangible sense of misery. Ye can hear the fucking crying! :(

    If ye not getting that? Get in there ;)

    My house was built in 2000 so no. Although I do wonder the history of my old house, probably nothing much anyway.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,239 ✭✭✭✭WindSock


    Gaf I live in is over 200 years old and there used to be a shop in part of it (not the part I live in) used to be owned by a well known local community paedo.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 757 ✭✭✭Apanachi


    Not exactly the house, we had it newly built, but after we built the house, we found out that the site we built it on was used by the prisoners of the nearby concentration camp to take their breaks while slaving away helping to the local school.

    Also a woman hung herself from the tree on the site next door.

    Was looking at buying a house recently but found out a convicted paedophile (evil swin*) died in it...don't know what to think. Would you buy and have it blessed or pass? The place needs a complete do over as well...maybe that would help. Anyone any thoughts???

    People tend to die in houses you know? Nothing to worry about.

    There's a graveyard(deconsecrated) in the back garden, so, chances are..luckily enough, I've watched Scooby-Do and know it's always the caretaker wearing a mask you have to watch out for.

    Been reading interesting stories on reddit where people moved into haunted apartments and all **** broke lose!
    Here's a few:

    http://www.reddit.com/r/Ghosts/comments/o409x/lived_in_a_haunted_house_for_about_a_year_these/

    So yeah... just make sure you know who all you're gonna be sharing your house with...

    You were looking all over the house rather than finding out where they moved to?
