    1, the person we purchased the house from, or more precisely we purchased it from her family she died of multiple sclerosis and she lived in it from new, a lovely if rather eccentric lady according to the neighbors.

    The house I grew up in has been in the family since at least the early 1850s so a fair few died in the house.

    zero, where I lived before zero and the previous place to that I think zero….

    A bit Morbid no? Thankfully no one ever died in my house or in either of the two houses that my parents have owned..

    Now if the question was how many people have died in your family? Maybe you might get a different answer from people.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    On advice of legal counsel, I refuse to answer this question…

    Good luck trying to figure me out. I haven't managed that myself yet!

    Only 5 OP? Are you sure?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,147 ✭✭✭Ms2011


    My house is a 250 year old ex RIC army barracks so I'm guessing a few.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 592 ✭✭✭Shauna677


    mine was built in the 18 century, so countless.

    Ah, so you're the recent buyer of 25 Cromwell Street, Gloucester…



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 71,188 ✭✭✭✭L1011


    At least two; those two of old age a day apart from each other in their 80s; probably in the bedroom I use. I find the surviving partner of the couple dying a day after the first almost a bit sweet rather than creepy.

    I would be very surprised if there hadn't been more over the years.

    My house was built in 1762. I have the deeds and they are in a bad state. I have to keep them in a plastic folder which I sealed. Originally there were 2 families living in my house which is an old townhouse. I'd say that loads of people died here over the years. I own it since 1990. The original owner coincidentally had the very same first name and surname as me.

    2. My parents, over twenty years apart. A

    OP is this some bizzare form of a confession? The cops are on the way dispose of the corpses quick.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,817 ✭✭✭✭whisky_galore


    Loads including in my bedroom.

    Dead people won't hurt you. Living ones, on the other hand..



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,306 ✭✭✭✭banie01


    My house is a mid 80's semi-D and to my knowledge, the only death here has been my 1st wife.

    That said, 2nd wife has made it clear that if I don't buck up my ideas around the dishwasher that there will likely be a 2nd 😉

    Never of guessed Tayto was a common name back in the 1700's . . Your surname was probably McLover originally.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,143 ✭✭✭Baybay


    None in my actual house but the site itself was part of a larger area where battles stood place in the 16/1700s so I’m assuming quite a few died in the immediate vicinity



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,514 ✭✭✭Cody montana


    You should frame it.

    My whole point was that it’s strange how time moves and we know little about the past.
    All my ancestors passed in my home.

    I know little about them past my grandmother.

    When we were buying our house, one of the ones we looked at had very obviously been owned by an elderly person and, weirdly enough, the estate agent actually said “I just want to make you aware that the previous owner did pass away in the house.” I was a bit surprised that they’d even mentioned it, but apparently the previous buyer pulled out fairly far along into the process when they discovered that the lady who owned the house had died in it (as opposed to a nursing home or hospital) and then when it was going back on the market, the executors asked the EA to be sure and make people aware before bidding that someone had died there, to avoid the same thing happening again.

    Personally, it wouldn’t bother me in that circumstance. I stayed in my grandma’s house for years after my grandpa passed away, I even slept in the bed he’d died in with no issues.

    None. Yet.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,092 ✭✭✭Hyperbollix


    In my own place, none. But in an old farm cottage I inherited which was built 1700's, I'd say a busload have died in it over the centuries.

    I did some work in it on cold dark winter evenings on my own and I tell you I wasn't the better of it. Lights flickering, doors slamming closed etc. Others might put it down to 100 year old wiring and terrible drafts. I put it down to spirits myself. Jameson specifically.

    Plausible with a fireplace in every room back then, less so now they're gone and the boiler is outdoors.

    It was the 1930s!

    Just 1 my granny back in the early 90ths.

    She was pretty old. Her eyesight started to go towards the end.

    Once she was burning stuff in the garden in barrel and threw a hedge hog on the fire with the shovel. Must of thought it was a log or something. I'll never forget that body.
