House for sale in a good neighborhood that were involved in a murder scene in my town. It is a drab house that sits on 1/2 acre with city/ocean view and is priced under the market value.

Yes, I am not superstitious iGas. 🙂

I'd be hoping for blood stains. That way, I could get an even further discount. I'd just clean the blood up after.
 

I am not superstitious as well, but what I read in the news it was a vicious murder scene, and the criminals that were charged with first degree murder are the local politicians.
 
If only you can be certain that all remains of the murder have been thoroughly cleaned and removed. I remember watching a tv show about a special cleaning crew that comes in to sterile crime scenes. Some of the things that happen(decomposing bodies and fluids soaking into wood flooring/carpeting, damage to the house) would freak me out.
 
Bart: Do it again!
House: What?
Bart: Make the walls bleed.
House: No!
Bart: Hey, man, we own you. Let's see some blood!
House: I don't have to entertain <you>.
Bart: Come on, man, do it. Do the blood thing. Come on, do it.
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it!
 
It is about 100-150K under the market value.

I would completely reno the place if I buy it. Raise the house to add a floor + 16" to make the basement full height. Thus give me a better view of the city/ocean.

My worries is that there could be other criminals at large.

Buy a gun with that extra 150k you save
 
Drug den/crackhouse: yes.

Crack making house/grow-op: hell no. Mold and chemicals linger.

Murder: no. Bad karma, and I don't want to worry about any Crows coming back.
 
Everyone has to live somewhere, and everyone dies, therefore every living unit everywhere has had someone who lived in it who has died or will die.

Yeah, but someone doesn't die in every house. 😕

But they lived there, and ghosts come home to roost, so to speak.

Actually, you might be surprised how wrong you are about that. Working for a fire department, you realize within a few years just how many people actually die in their homes by accidents, health problems, or crimes. A lot of people choose to die in their homes from terminal illnesses, too. And it seems just as many children die as elderly adults do, too. The fewest deaths are in the 25-40 age ranges, based on my experiences. But living in a different area, might reflect different death rates. And the older the house, the more probable someone died in it at some point. I'm sure someone could look at death figures in a private residence nation wide and figure out a rough graph concerning the probability someone died in a residence based on age. In a 100 year old plus residence, you can bet that the probabilty of a death in that house at close to 100%. A 50 year old house would be close to 50% ect.

There is a house near me that nobody will rent because the last person committed suicide with a shotgun in the garage. It has all been repainted and cleaned up but the landlord said people are worried about ghost.
It wouldn't bother me, but I guess some people..............
