Would You Live In A Murder House?

Would you buy a house knowing someone had been brutally murdered?

We live in a very quaint village (outer edge actually) & this exact thing happened. There's a parcel of vacant land beside our property then the county road. On that side of the cty rd, about 5 years ago, a woman was brutally shot many times by her teenage son.

Violence can happen anywhere btw but its awful to see this house & be reminded of what took place, although we don't think about it as often as before. A man came a year later, totally revamped the house & a young couple has lived there for the past two years

Re: Would You Live In A Murder House?

Hi AC I guess if you live in an old house there will have been some deaths there.
I wouldn't particularly like to live in a house where there had been a nasty murder though I am not superstitions and don't believe in ghosts.

Some houses associated with horrible murders have been pulled down here.

I would 'not' live in a house where a murder took place, I believe buildings hold memories - so not for me ......

Re: Would You Live In A Murder House?

It wouldn't bother me at all. A house is just bricks and mortar and I don't believe walls can absorb violence or evil. If the price and location were right I'd go for it like a shot.

Re: Would You Live In A Murder House?

I love my true crime books, films, documentaries, you name it but no I couldn't live in a house where a murder took place. People say to me ''the house didn't kill anyone'' I know that's true but still couldn't do it.
Jeffrey Dahmer's house is up for grabs if anyone's interested!!

Re: Would You Live In A Murder House?

The mind can play all sorts of games - as we all know. Being alone in such a house would probably get my brain working overtime and who knows what it would conjure up.

Not for me thanks - pass on that one.

Re: Would You Live In A Murder House?

I'm the same Cranberry, love all the murder mysteries and horror, but never would I willingly live in a house where someone was murdered, I'm funny with houses there's something about them and I think they always retain a bit of what happened within their walls, but thats just me.

Re: Would You Live In A Murder House?

My house is Victorian and built in the 1880s

How many people died here and how they died is something I guess I could discover fairly easily, being into family history and having contacts.

As for violent deaths:
Well, if you go back a little way or a few centuries, then I guess you will find death, destruction, battles and the like anywhere.

This plot (house and garden) could be chock-a-block with corpses, murdered or death from natural causes.

Doesn't bother me that these bricks and mortar 'hold' anything odd

Re: Would You Live In A Murder House?

Can't say it would worry me too much we lived in a house where a man had previously committed suicide and nothing untoward happened so I can't imagine anything awful would occur if it was a murder. Many people must live in houses where murders have occurred and never even know about it anyway.

Re: Would You Live In A Murder House?

Its whether they are 'happy' there ......
When people came to our house, they would say it had a 'lovely' feel .....
There is something to it .....
