There may be a human body buried in my basement.

Open a B&B and call it The "Gus" House. Loads of idiots will pay good money to come see your ghost!

Profit!

If I could find a place that was certified haunted, I would stay there.

Any of those around Vegas? I'm going back in September.
 
how did you run into the previous previous owner? might wanna look into that, maybe she was dead awhile ago, the 'person' you talked to was really a ghost. wouldn't that be freaky?
 
Previous onwer: Oh BTW there might be a dead body in the basement I know because I used to live there with my wife.

You: How is your wife

Previous owner: She is on.......vacation still.

If you do rent something and do find a body, you're going to have to pay for it to be exhumed from its current place and moved to a proper burial. Doubtful that insurance or the state will pay for that. I'd guess that since its below concrete, its a $50K job at least all in (survey, exhume, burial, etc.).

EDIT: PLUS you'll have to disclose in any future house sale that you had found a dead body on the grounds, lowering the value of the house. Just sell the place before you find it.

EDIT: and you better hope to hell that it isn't a Native American.

I could see this happening. Save your money and keep your mouth shut.

This is disputable and depend on the local laws. I think I read a story a few months ago about a woman who purchased a house and the basement was used as the "torture dungeon" for the victims of a serial killer. She found out after the transaction was settled and there was nothing illegal about it.
 
how the hell did you "bump into a former owner of the house" at the supermarket, one that owned it 30 years ago?

were they holding a big sign saying "I OWNED THE HOUSE AT 444 STUPID STREET 30 YEARS AGO"??

Keep up:

The previous owner is dead and told the OP where to find his body. The OP is obviously dead and this is why the previous owner was able to identify and communicate with him.

The town has about 350 houses in it. When someone new moves into town it's kind of a big deal. The former owner was a town cop who's since retired and become the town constable. She sought us when we moved in, just to see if we were going to turn the greater compound into another failed non-profit (previously convent then music academy) . We had no intention of some tax-dodging scheme and told her we were just family and wanted to keep horses.

I can say the former owners name in town and describe where I live, e.g. Sally McDoe's old house; or the old convent. That's more recognizable than a street address.

oh okay. 350 houses doesn't seem small enough for someone new moving in being a big deal to me heh.
