Hey y'all.While out walking my dog, I recently walked on a porch and looked into a vacant home in our neighborhood because the blinds were open. I was just curious how it was coming along. Someone bought it, did some work on it and never moved in. As we continue to walk, my neighbors stops us and says-hey I wouldn't walk up on that porch that house is cursed! She said the guy that owned it committed suicide and the previous owner died of cancer. So of course she said she just knew I would freak out when she told me that evil spirit probably got me when I walked on the porch. (I felt no bad ju-ju) She and her husband just laughed because they knew it was freaking me out. I've been paranoid ever since! Why am I so gullible! I guess I need to stop watching all of that scifi stuff!

But to some people, NOTHING sounds ridiculous and that's the problem. If everything sounds credible to you because you either lack critical thinking skills or self-confidence then yes, you'll believe anything.

I don't think that's being "gullible". I think that's being open to truths you can't see, and you're maybe being a little obsessive.
Kind of obsessive fear isn't gullibility.
"Gullible" is where you believe people who are trying to hoodwink you, and that leaves you very susceptible to being taken advantage of or stolen from.
We have a house like that in our neighborhood... and maybe there's just bad energy in some places that wears you down and causes these things to come about. It could be environmental. Every several years, the wives in this house die from a sudden illness. A wife died of cancer at 35, the owner remarried and his new, 28 yo wife died from an aneurysm. He got engaged two years later and sold that house. (They live nearby still; she's fine and they have three children, plus his 2 from the first wife.) The new owner's wife was 37 years old and pregnant with twins. She was diagnosed with and died from brain cancer, end stage at discovery, when they weren't quite two.
He did all sorts of environmental testing (it's his business) and found nothing. His new fiancee is a beeyotch. She mocks his "shrine" to his late wife, which consists of a 4x6 picture of her holding the twins with their wedding rings on a tiny iron tree on the mantle. She is not nice to the children. He is not a great guy- just a stern, polite one... pretty sure he uses her for sex and for childcare so he can go on out-of-town jobs, and she uses him for a better life (serial wife.) They deserve each other. He has NOT moved. LOL - we all know the drill. So does she. She's joked that she's safe so long as they don't get married while they still live there. He just built an addition for a home office and isn't going anywhere.
It's a weird, old house... but all of ours are. Meh. It probably is something that just hasn't been detected yet.
This is nonsense! The previous owner died of cancer; people die of cancer every day. The new buyer committed suicide before moving on; people (some people) committee suicide every day. You don't know them, what happened and their reasons. You didn't mention anything special about the home that deserves to think bad about it. Nothing unusual. For example, homes or lands that taken by force have no blessing. So, if you know that, NEVER buy it.
It sounds as if your neighbors or people around that area got pessimistic of these 2 events so that they tried to link them together then made a general judgment that the home must have been cursed.
No reason to be freaking out of what your neighbors said. Nothing bad will happen to you.

Sweetie you are cursed all right. You are cursed with a hostile neighbor who like to talk nonsense.
From now on, ignore whatever this person says. Just keep moving and pay her no mind. People who say stuff like that are not worth your attention.
the most you can do is check in with your own experience--whatever another person believes applies first and foremost to their own experience.
