I'm not spooked by much but the one place in the world where you can almost hear and feel the death is that famous concentration camp begining with A, that really is the weirdest place to visit.

When I go home to Mum's I drive past a house where a young girl was murdered a few years ago. It sends shivers down my spine every time I drive past and I often wonder how anyone could live there knowing what had happened there. But then, my Mum's house is haunted and I won't sleep on the top floor so you can probably ignore my post :D.

Wouldn't bother me at all to be honest. What is it that bothers you (I don't mean that in a "what's up with you?" kind of way, I just mean that maybe if you can say what it is about it that bothers you then someone might be able to help?). Would you be bothered if it had been an old lady that had simply passed away? (i.e. not a problem with someone having just died there, but the way they died?). Is it someone you knew that you would remember constantly and feel sad about? As for what to do - Are you religious? If so maybe get someone in from your faith to bless the house before you move in. No I didn't know the person...but it's something that will be in my mind. I am religious and I will probably get a priest to bless the house. I just have a picture in my head( not a good one) and I'm worried it will be flashing at me when I'm there! I wouldn't feel the same if it was a natural death. Don't like the idea of abuse too! The fact of someone taken their life away bothers me. Maybe I'm just a chicken, I know I shouldn't worry about it, can't help thou. It may do at first, that is natural, but once your priest has blessed the place and you have your own things in there, you will make your own memories and the thoughts will fade. Good luck to you.

We have.... no big deal really... although thinking back to the time, if we didn't own it, I probably would have moved.

This really is a non issue. Whatever someone else did in the home doesn't have anything to do with you or your quality of life in the home. Maybe you could get the house at a cheaper rate? LOL

Well, would you? And if so what precautions would you take? We may be moving soon ( not UAE) and this happened in the "house". I have no choice but live in it. I'm a little uncomfortable with the situation, need some ideas on what to do. :(
