Would you live in a house, where people have died?

I was speaking with a friend the night before, and eventually we got on to the subject of ghosts/spirits. We began sharing theories on if there truely are beings whos souls are still upon the Earth and that if we would be able to actually encounter them. I'm not too sure whether ghosts/spirits truely exist, but I'm open to theories.

The bedroom in which I slept from 1993-1999 (From age 7.5 to 14) was the room in which the previous owner of the house died. On June 4 1994, it got struck by lightning, but I continued to sleep in it for the next 5 years

It'd depend on how they died and what kind of person they were I guess. I don't believe in spirits, I've just seen way too many movies.

I live in a house where someone has died 

I don't believe in ghost. I think the whole idea of dead people "haunting" you for no reason is absolutely ridiculous. 

Probably not. Just knowing that someone died in the exact same house as me is enough too not want to live there. I don't believe in ghosts though, it's just...yeah.

If a thousand babies where slaughtered in a house I wouldn't care as long as it's a nice home.

But finding a house where nobody's has died would be pretty hard, people dont die from old age in the middle of the street

People die in their houses all the time, not from murders or killings but through heart attacks and other things like that. So a lot of people are probably living in house where somebodies died already and I wouldn't really mind myself.

Many people have died in the houses were we live, we just dont know it yet.

Depends on if they are still there...also, how much are you asking for the house?  Does it have sewer or a well?  How old is the house?  How close is it to shopping and schools?  Is it in a flood zone?  How many beds/baths?  What's the wiring like?  Is the plumbing copper?  Does it have a history of termite infestation?  How many cars can fit into the garage?  What did you pay last year in property taxes?  What's the house assessed at?

In other words, it makes no difference if someone died there or how they died.  What matters is what is real, not ghosts and other touchy-feely stuff.

Uh?  Yes I would.  What kind of superstitious nonsense are you supporting here?

Agreed. It isn't like you have sort of Six Sense type of ability. Plus I don't really believe in ghosts.

I used to live in a house where people had died. It was fine.

I'm always amazed at how many people believe in ghosts/spirits. I thought people stopped believing in fairly tales when they stopped being little kids.

hellz yeah. then i could have some awesome haunted fun

Who says all ghosts are evil anyways?  Maybe Casper would tell you where his billions of dollars are stored.  Maybe you'd get a hot teenage slutty girl ghost.  The possibilities are endless.

Ok, I've got a story about my relative's house, where me and my brother stayed before. My relative was talking to her landlord, asking about the house, and the landlord begins to talk about the previous owner, and what happened to her. One night she had a heart attack, and went toward the phone, but fell down (The phone was mounted on the wall). As she tried to get to the phone, she left scratch marks on the wall below it, and eventually died. Now, sometimes my relative says she hears scratches in the hallway, and near the phone at night. My brother even said he heard them too, so yeah, that's pretty creepy xD. Oh, and yeah, I'd live in a house where a person died. It doesn't creep me out too much.

As long as the body isn't in the house somewhere.

As long as the bodies were gone....

EDIT: dammit I didnt see HairyMike's comment

Well here is the thing, how far back can this go?  Like where my house is, there used to be a nearby settlement for Native Americans.  I think its hard to avoid going somewhere where people haven't died, I mean people have been around for milleniums. 

Yes, I don't believe in ghosts/spirits.

I don't care, honestly. If it is a nice home, I am sure I can deal with any troubled past. I don't really believe in ghosts or apparitions in the first place, so no worries.

Does the price on the house go down if I remove the bodies myself?

No one has died in my house.. in fact, no one has lived in my house before me. :o

Yep. Dead people usually make the pricing cheaper...

Couple of family members that've lived here over the years died in here.
One in the living room, one in my bedroom.

So I guess that's a "yeah" I'd live there.

Ever since we built my house on this Indian burial ground bad things have been happening... Lol. No i probably wouldn't live in one that would be in my head too much plus I'm scared easily by the thought of ghosts... but i do kinda think my house is haunted.

Already do.  Some dude killed himself in my apartment before me.  It's why I got it for cheap.  :D

I have no doubt ghosts exist, but I don't see why people would be afraid of them.

I'd love to live in a haunted house, but I guess it would depend on how exactly they died. If it was an extremely brutal and sad thing that I might be disturbed by then I'd probably reconsider, but if it's not extremely disturbing then I'm fine with it.

Died might be okay, but never if someone was murdered. Especially if the murderer was still on the loose, cuz I'm pretty sure ghosts hate that.

I currently live in a house where someone died. I think there was some confusion as to how it happened too. A little creepy.

I'm living in a house where someone died, doesn't bother me at all.

I live in a house where the old tennant died, he died in the back yard of a heart attack.

Only if the people that died were extremely hot cheerleaders, slaughtered while having a sex party, becoming forever stuck in a state of limbo, where they would have sex with anyone who slept in the haunted orgy room.  That would be my room.

Really though, I probably wouldn't even bother asking. I'd rather not know. if I knew, I'd just think about it all the time.

I don't see why not...provided their are no things left behind, eg bloodstains.

My grandfather died here. My bird and dog died here. Yeah, if this house was haunted, I'd know about it by now.

I think I'd pay more for a house if a bunch of people were killed there.
