I’d put a news report in a picture frame on the wall, if the murder was famous enough.
Do I get a discount if the corpse is still there?
A murder already happened there, what are the odds of it happening twice?
The US has a lot more religious people, so that means people will believe in other superstitions (because if God’s real, why other things can’t be?).
Not sure if this was the comment you’d intended to reply to. On the plus side, we’re slowly becoming less saturated with that dangerous nonsense. Would be nice if it was dropping off faster but the trend could be worse.
I’d do everything I could think of to make sure people knew it was a murder house. Then I’d watch the price, hoping it would drop. If that worked, I’d make a low-ball offer.
Never understood the issue some people have with living in a house where someone died in. I’m sitting 4 feet away from where the previous owner of this house died, and the only spooky shit here is the half assed work the guy did to the place when he was still around.
Some people should not be allowed to have a hammer.
The ghost of my DIY shall haunt you forever
The ceiling in my living room does not connect to the walls. In fact, the walls do not connect to the walls.
They abused the adage of “do your best and caulk the rest”.
And they couldn’t even do that right! They covered the ceiling issues with crown moulding and quarter round for the walls.
lol that sounds pretty bad. It’s hard to say which is the worst thing done to this place… maybe the fact that he lowered the roof after a fire from an actual 2 storey house to a 1 1/2 storey, and completely built over the porch (porch roof and all, which is still up there under the rest of the house. The porch doesn’t even have a proper foundation and he added a lot of weight to it, so now that corner of my place shifts with the seasons, making my front door jam sometimes, and pop open on it’s own other times.
When he died nobody knew for a while after, so at least I did get new flooring out of the deal. Problem is whoever did the flooring wasn’t much better at carpentry than he was… :/
Oh man. You win (if you can call it that). That’s the dangers of home ownership when you don’t buy brand new (not like buying brand new is any better).
Damned if you do. Damned if you don’t.
Cheers, mate! 🍻
It’s funny to even look at in my opinion… He did the work the absolute laziest way possible. You can still see the old roofline (complete with shingles) of the old porch sticking out of the wall. But the place cost less than the property was worth, so that kind of evens things out lol
that’s hilarious
but hey, if it doesn’t leak or let animals in, and it’s within budget, it ain’t so bad
Y’all joke, but the ghost of 1990s US suburban sprawl is possessing that house right now. Just look at that design.
Fucking garage house. My least favorite architectural style. I hate the garage out front with the unfriendly hidden front door so much. It makes bad neighbors too.
If you are disabled and can’t go up steps I understand. But God I hate that look.
As a kid I lived in a neighborhood where all the houses looked different and was built in the 60s, but when I saw all these developments get built (they looked exactly as the OP pic) all I could think was how weird it was that people would live in these cookie cutter houses that all looked the same. Where’s the individuality? It must suck to have an HOA too.
Those keystones are more early-2000s.
Agreed, looking at it now.
and here I was thinking it at least had some character, unlike my 1980s rectangular box with a rectangular layout
Hello, this is a gentle reminder that not all ghosts are Victorian wailing ladies in fancy dresses. Ghosts also include some eight year olds saying “six-seven!”, girls with “juicy” on the ass of their sweatpants, random salarymen in suits, many perpetually angry indigenous people, in t-shirts and jeans, a crap ton of actual babies, a few karens here and there who finally found out, some goth girls who were secretly glad they died in fancy Victorian dresses so they get to blend in with the genuine articles, a shit ton of peasants from the middle ages, a bunch of brash cowboys overtaken by consumption, and so goddamn many more.
The reason you can’t see any of these is much the opposite: the air is so thick with ghosts, so dense with them, that hearing the roar of twenty ghosts per square meter is something you’ve been used to your whole life, and it sounds like nothing. They’re equally powerless too. Just an endless ether of the dead that you too will join, frustrated forever that like fifteen other people have their random ghostly limbs in your body cause there’s just no goddamn space.
My favorite part is the amount of haunted houses in a 250yo country. Versus anywhere else in the world.
The issue is that Americans die with a shit ton medical debt. Medical debt counts as unfinished business, because the debtors keep calling our detached souls about the debt.
Now I’m imagining a bunch of spammers and debt collectors having a séance to contact the dead about their extended warranty.
I get at least one call a day from people offering cash for my house. You’ve given me a good idea for a response: “I’d like to sell, but I’m actually dead.”
People in recent years all know ghosts aren’t real, so when they died, they just knew better and went straight to the afterlife. The old ones just haven’t gotten the news, since they didn’t have that when they died either.
You see, the United States is already hell on earth. Actual hell is using it as temporary housing for the slavers and pedophile elites. Some of them are ghosts, others are a little more alive.
We die very violently and with so many unresolved issues.
I would find it far stranger to buy a place where nothing bad has ever happened. I never got the issue here, do they think the murder will “rub off” on them?
I lived in a former funeral home as a child, its was a neat house and only the raccoons in the walls where creepy.
Off topic, I find it comforting. A box of ashes doesn’t amount to a place you have memories in.
Edit: But I will say that fucking AC unit seems specifically to always turn on when I have to take a dump and it’s the coldest part of the house.
How the housing market is. I don’t care if a family got slaughtered in there if the price is reduced because of it. As long as the house didn’t kill them, I don’t see an issue.
Sure to the murder question. Blood stains can be a bitch to get out, but you just need to keep working on it.
