Would a house's history prevent you from buying it?


If you knew someone died in it or was murdered there would it prevent you from buying it?


I'm looking at buying a home this month and it was once an old funeral home in the 1920's. It didnt stop me from being interested in the home, but my friends all think its weird...they wouldnt buy it.

I once lived in a house that had been a funeral home. The old morgue was right below my bedroom

weird noises all night every night

and always a feeling of spookiness

I used to live in a house that was once a funeral home... Yea the place was haunted don't think I'd ever buy a house with a past like that...

See my thoughts on it is a funeral home is probably the safest place to live when choosing an older home. Most likely its one of the only houses a hundred years old that someone didn't die IN. But the embalming room is going to be my art studio...I wont make anyone sleep in it.

There is a house on my road where i live.
A few years ago the son (around 45 years old or so) beat his parents (over 80) with a hammer. Killed his father in the bedroom
chased his mother into the basement
it was so bad that they had to steam clean the walls and the wall paper came off the walls.
It's law that the realtors have to disclose the homes history.
There were at least 5 families that I know of who backed out of the final deal at the last minute.

yea i think i would buy it just for that reason it would be kinda cool, i used to live in a house where a guy killed himself and he did it in wat came to be my bedroom and it didnt bother me at all

Ohhh spooky! The realitor seemed odd when she told me it used to be a funeral home, but I didnt see anything creepy about the house its gorgeous!

in new orleans, the lease you sign, or property you buy, they say,:will not be responsible for ghost, and or poltergeist activities. most there, are haunted, some are very active.

there is a really nice house available in Amityville

See the home that I lived in started to get creepy... Lights turning off in rooms with no one in them nothing wrong with the fuses... Things flying off the wall..


The things that broke it for my family was my little sister came into my bedroom yelling at me to get out of "daniels" room.... Saying he was going to hurt her if I didn't get out of there... Next day I heard my sister screaming I ran into her room she was backed up into the corner screaming "Don't hurt me" there was nobody in front of her or anyone else in the room next thing I know I see imprints of fingers across her neck as if she was being strangled.....

I think depending on your beliefs, its a risk. My only concerns would be if you had small children, I'm not sure how to explain it but they pick up on things that adults would never notice, they still see the world around them, if you will.

blood has an agent in it that will soak through any paint, no matter how many times you cover it. i cut myself painting a sign, and it would bleed through kilz even, and it would bleed once every few days, so i took it down for him and painted a new one......i have the sign, and it still bleeds....weird.

my house has something there...
i dont know what
but i've sensed...
things happen but not as extreme as allicat's experience

Gosh, my 13 y/o will LOVE reading this thread!!! She watches A Haunting and all of those shows!!!

Ohhhhhhhhhhh bad energy!!!!

I have that movie, not funny!

Lol I love all those shows too~!!!!

I think it depends on your imagination Twilights, I bought a home that everyone said was haunted..I actually got a great deal on it because nobody woould buy it..I remodled, and moved in..other then the normal settling, never once heard or saw a ghost...if you have a hyperactive imagination..I guess it would be a bad idea! Good Luck and you will have great place for Halloween!!

Nice I have a 3 year old

oh I dunno

it made me laugh
