It wouldn't bother me if someone died naturally in the house.
If it was due to a horrific, gruesome crime but I loved the house and location, I would have my entire church come over to pray over the house as a way to spiritually "clean it out."
There's no such thing as a haunted house. There is no such thing as evil spirits or ghosts that remain after death. I can't imagine objecting to buying a house that was the site of a death, violent or otherwise. There are all kinds of things, some of them worse than a natural death, that happen in houses that we never know anything about.
I'm curious to hear why some of you wouldn't want to buy a house in which a murder was committed.
Looky-loos. And you'd never hear the end of it. Who'd want to live the Old Mason House, where Jack Mason killed his parents. Every weird occurrence would be "supernatural" to people, even though it's not. And weird things happen all the time... but they have reasons.
It was creepy that the family got killed there for no reason and they never caught the killer.
That is creepy, but it makes sense that it would be harder to solve a murder when it was committed for no reason. If the victim and murder were totally unconnected, the police could have no lead to start with.
If you are worried about getting killed because somebody gets your address confused with another, the best solution is to only live on streets with unusual names.
I would not buy a house if I knew someone died in it. But I'm a horror movie junkie and get a little creeped out by things like that. I wouldn't buy a house with a well in the basement either.
Murder/crime scene, yes, I'd probably walk away. Natural death, not necessarily a deal breaker. But if I had multiple places that I liked about equally well to choose from, it could knock a house lower down on the list.
Gonna be honest here but yes, I'd hesitate buying a house if I know that someone died (naturally or murdered) in it. I guess I just have an active imagination. :P
