Checking if someone died in your house

let me rephrase, I meant murder rather than dying .

So much posts, people having nothing better to do !

Hmmm....you might be better off with a new build...to remove all doubt!

They are building a new estate near us on the site of the local hospital which was a poor house in it's early days. Also not too far away is a very expensive estate built on a former mental hospital...not even a new build is safe!!


My first house came to the market because the occupant had died I didn't like the back door rattling in the wind as that was where he was found but some door insulation cured it.

I wish I hadn't read this thread so late last night. I had the first and only nightmare since I've moved in here, and it was based around this topic. It was horrendous. I woke up at 5am terrified :eek:. It doesn't even really bother me if someone died here, though it's something I've never actually thought about (until now!). Some part of my brain doesn't like the thought .

I think when buying a house, it would be best not to ask about it. Much easier not to know.

I have a hospital appointment but I am not sure I should keep it .
A lot of people have died in that hospital .What do you think I should do.

And to combine the problems, there are a couple of (very expensive) developments near me which are conversions of Victorian hospitals.

This thread reminded me of the time I went to look at a customised hearse (Ganada one, painted bright yellow, cherry bomb exhausts). One work colleagues reaction was "Ugh, dead people". I pointed out that it was only in really unfortunate circumstances that people died in hearses (especially when in the load area), and nobody seemed to concerned about ambulances (where it's quite likely that someone has died) being converted into camper vans.

Logic - a way of going wrong with confidence ...

Some round me too. Not sure I'd want to buy one myself for many reasons - parking being one of them and the area being another!

<chuckle> That's true enough...

Not quite the case. I did suggest to SWMBO that we should DIY a camper - and that ambulances were a very good base vehicle. Absolute, non-negotiable instant veto.

I've had a simialr conversations with people about graveyards. only in very rare and unfortuanate situations do people die in graveyards....
