Would you live in a house where a man murdered his wife and child, then killed himself? (lights, price) - remodeling, decorating, construction, energy use, kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, building, rooms - Page 3 - City-Data Forum

Yes, it would bother me if someone had been murdered in the house. I would never move into a house where murders took place, especially after seeing some of the "Amityville Horror" movies. I know it's just a story that was made up over several bottles of wine, but it's still creepy.

Lol at Crayfish. I personally wouldn't feel comfortable. I would feel like I was living at a perpetual crime scene. I'd also be afraid of someone breaking in and killing me, kind of like that camp crystal lake stuff in Friday the 13th where innocent people got hurt. Little things like that would really eat at me and I just wouldn't be able to stand it.

Never! Let me tell you a true story. I am a Realtor and abot 2 years ago I went to a Brokers Open House. It was a beautiful 1920 5000sq.ft colonial on 2 acres. I always loved the home and couldn't wait to go see it. As I was going thru the house evrything went well on the first and second floor. I went to the 3rd floor where the servants quaters used to be, and The first thought thru my mind was the movie the Shinning. I quickly ran down the very long hallway just peeking into the room. I went down the back staircase. As I was going down, my coworkers were going up. They asked me why I was running. I told them to get the hell out the house was haunted. They thought I was Nuts. Several months went by and my son was working next to the haunted house. I had to take him to work all the time. I met his boss and some of the neighboors and they told me the story behind the house. Apparently either in the 60's or the 70's, the previous owners son committed suicide in the house by hanging himself. I asked if he had done it on the 3rd floor but they were not sure. The house finally sold and since then the new owner faced foreclosure and has also filled bankrupcy. That house is haunted. As much as I always loved the house I would never be able to live there. Something is and will always be on the 3rd floor.

That's creepy. I have an interesting story about a haunted house. I have no idea where this house was or what year/years this took place. So many people had experienced creepy things in the house(nothing like crucifixes flipping upside down or blood dripping down the stairs) that, by law, the realtor had to tell anyone who looked at the house about what had happened there and what the previous owners had experienced.Again, I'm not sure when or where this happened, or if it's really true, but it would be interesting if it was true.

No way, it is all about the karma that house would have because of what occurred there . I don't care if they gave it to me for free, I would never go in that house let alone live in it.

The house doesn't have the karma, because it did nothing. The karma comes from the act of murder, and that belongs to the person committing the murder.

I realize the house did nothing but the karma from what happened in that house would still be there IMHO. It would always be in the back of my mind. It is great that some people could live there however I never could.
