Would you live in a death house?

[karyn]

Would you live in a death house? would you live in a house where a really grisly murder or something had taken place?

[Pull~My~Hair]

i would say yes, but it really depends house the house feels, like for example for the first 4 months that I lived here, there was something weird about kadens room, I got the chills everytime I went in it, I asked the landlord if anything weird has happened in it, and I guess an old lady died in it..it still fells a little weird but I think now that I know why it doesnt bother me as much.

[Amelia G]

It would depend on the place. If someone I knew died horribly in it, probably not. If it was because the place was particularly insecure in a high crime area, probably not. If it was a famous killing and loser murder groupies were going to be ringing my doorbell, probably not. If it was just a random unpublicized thing and the house didn't have particularly crazy-making Feng Shui or something, I think it wouldn't be a big deal to me.

[Mindgames]

I'm firmly behind Amelia on this one (damn, there's a thought...) - the death isn't the issue, it's what the living are making of it that's the problem. Being a stop on a tourist bus tour isn't great when you're trying to mow the lawn in handcuffs (cue Voldta...)

The dive I lived in for the first year of college had seen recent tenants leave in buckets, but the place never had an atmosphere, the 'extreme cleaners' did their thing well before we ever got in, and the rent was cheaper. I'd be lying if I claimed never to use "oh.. they died just.. where.. you're... sitting..." in casual conversation, but it was hardly the Manson villa.

Anyways, give it a week in a major city and you're bound to have shared a bus, train, office, taxi or bathroom with the memory of a dead occupant. Folks expire in the most inconvenient places...

The flat I live in now, the previous tenant came home one night drunk, fell in the door and died, slumped against the closed door. The next door neighbour, an alcoholic Irish OAP, did much the same thing a few months ago.

I lived in a place with fucked up energy and it affected me on a daily basis. I can't say why the energy was there, possibly it was connected to death, but all three of the tenants on the property felt it. I am so happy to be out of there!

[Buster Friendly]

i've 'ruined' the energy of places i've lived

i don't think anyone died because of it... but we went insane, and ended up tacking up like 45 halloween masks to the walls... all those eyes, watching ... all the time... lol... (among other things.)

the cleaning ladies, the landlord, the other people in the building... they were all too totally freaked out to deal with the place once we were through with it...

...of course both my roommate, and i went clinically insane... but that's another tale...

...just so long as i don't have to mop up, i'm fine with death houses.

[HeadlessBill]

I also agree with Amelia's statement. As long as the living psycho don't bother me and I don't get a weird vibe just by being in the place. Not a problem.

[killerkat]

i'm am in no doubt some serious shit went down where i live now...photo evedence was strewn thoughout the house...now if some one actually was murdered i don't know...i wouldn't doubt it...

it's not bad...but it is a pretty creepy place..

[Buster Friendly]

ooh, thanx for the idea!!!

...next time i move i'll leave pics for the new tentants...

[killerkat]

hah...

well this was an abandoned house for whatever amount of time...there was amason jar of meth,and somthing like 4-5 kilo's of really old shitty coke as well..

one room was entirely"wallpapered" in insestual porn of some shit..and there were polorioids all over the place with all sorts of fucked up shit...

sadly it's a pretty nice place,aside from the history i probally never want to know about.

[Buster Friendly]

yeeeeaaaaah, ain't nothin' that funny about meth... that's for sure.

(most of the early saturday night live crew were coke heads, and those fuckers were hilarious... so i dunno...)

...oh i think i'll leave an 'alter' for my next move... heh... it'll be complete bullshibt, but it'll be fun.

[VoltaireBlue]

no........ absolutely no. I have no qualms that my new house will be a few blocks from a cemetary. However, I refuse to live in a place where someone was murdered. I saw the article in today's USA Today about the Ramsey house being on the market and having a hard time being sold. I wouldn't want to live there either. that was sick and grisly........

[Kidthorazine]

well honestly chances are, if your house is more than like 30 or 40 years old someone has died in it, though the chances of someone getting brutaly murdered or whatever is probably a lot lower, it wouldnt really bother me at all.

[Nudemuse]

It would really depend on how the house and I felt about each other as to whether or not I would live there. If we all get along, no problem. If not I'd not live there.

[Poppy]

Our current house had an older woman die in one of our guest rooms. It doesn't really bother me that she went peacefully in her sleep. But I can't say the same for a murder. If the energy of the place and a good smudging didn't work I would doubt I would want to put up with it.

[Mirren]

Definitely.I like a house with a past. I don't get off on people being murdered but this is part of life and it can happen to anyone.

[keiko]

Done it before, i'll do it again, but never alone. heck the place i'm staying now has this odd ...thing.... that has a tendancy to walk from the hall out the front door. It also will just stand in the kitchen. It's creepy, but not malignant.

there was this really nice apartment, on Elm Street, in hollyweird that I loved the front half of but the back of hte house, where the bedroom was, creeped me out so bad I couldn't bring myself to go back there. needless to say we never ended up living there. asking about later, turns out hubby loved wifey a littel too hard with a fire place implement when she was in bed one night. at lesast that's te rumor, no confirmations. The front half had great lighting and brillaint wood floors. *sigh*

[Mr Karl]

yeah sure, they're usually a little cheaper and if you know how to clean then no problem

[vulfgrl]

I'm so psychically dead it wouldn't bother me. I used to take care of a 'haunted' cemetery, and I would be there at night, and alone, and never felt anything but safe. One of my hobbies is research, and I did a ton of research on local area hauntings. I'd go to the library, courthouse, everything. My website was the only one on the internet that had correct info about one murder, and I found out the correct info for another one that's been published in a book. I went to all those places, took photos, went back and took more, I have clippings and death certificates, and even found a journal and photo of a suicide left on the road by her (I discovered) drifter mother, and I've had it for years, and I have never felt an iota of supernatural. I'm open, and my mother and grandmother have both seen and felt things (my mom called the cops one night because she saw someone at the foot of her bed, then realized it wasn't real) in the houses we've lived in, but i never have. Kinda a bummer.

[Camby Savelle]

I don't know. My initial response is "hell yea!" but then I start to think about it and realize I'm not so sure afterall if I would enjoy it.

I could find some sort of comfort there maybe or I could find some sort of discourse and unwelcoming. (spritually of course)

[kshearsedriver]

our house had a previous owner who was a hermit type old guy, seems he did the old shotgun/mouth thing on the front porch one day, no one realized it for a few days, i've heard that his cats decided that he made a tasty meal seeings how he forgot to put food out for them before he took his buckshot vitamin, I didn't find out till a year after we bought the house, doesn't bother me at all, i guess it did the last two owners before me though, neither of them stayed more than a couple years before they sold

[kshearsedriver]

even if there were dark spirits in the dwelling i'd have to live with it because i'm just to lazy to exorcise

[Rockwulf]

Sure, I'd live in one. I'm not really prone to belief in the supernatural so it wouldn't bother me on any sort of fundamental level and the rent would probably be cheaper anyway.

And not all deaths have to be grisley to suck. I mean what about a house where some old man lived out his last days forgotten, alone and injured?

The building I live in now was built in 1805 or something like that, I'll have to check the plaque on the side again, but you'd think that over 2 centruries, chances are good a couple people kacked it.

[Mr Karl]

actually someone died at my house don't know how or what from all the nieghbors say is he died young and left a wife and four kids all I know is that he sure wasn't no carpenter

[malcolm]

because I have "reversed luck" i tend to do best in negative energy filled places so yeah, i'd jump at an opportunity to live in a house of death

aint it funny how the real estate sellers dont tell people about suicides?
