Checking if someone died in your house

Surely, the key thing is that if you can't easily find out if someone died there in unfortunate circumstances, no one else will knoweither?

I wouldn't worry if months of fact finding reveals that Joe Bloggs died there in slightly murky circumstances in 1953.

The neighbours might know, depending on how recent it was, and might be inclined to share this information with the new owners. There's a house not far from my childhood home where the most you'd only learn was that a previous occupant 'died suddenly'.

The bit about the shotgun never made the press. The specialist cleaning crew apparently did a very good job.

System

The houses with associations with murder in high profile cases have been knocked down
25 Cromwell Street (Fred and Rosemary West)
5 College Close (Soham murders)
10 Rillington Place (John Christie) - though later changed name to Bartle Road and the houses were demolished in the mid 70s. The film 10 Rillington Place, was filmed at number 6 as the tenants refused to move out for filming.

If you are seriously worried about death in a property, go new build.

My workplace, had someone dying there, about 18-20 years ago. A customer had a heart attack whilst shopping at my work. Colleagues will not reveal the spot where he died.

Seen on a Fire Alarm panel at UCL hospital on Sunday:

"Fault - No response from Mortuary"

They obviously need a louder alarm to get a response from there...

lol - funnily enough no one suggested this as a reason over in the other thread where someone asked why on earth would you buy a new build :rotfl:

in all honesty I don't think you really can find out unless you google the address but that might not necessarily bring anything up unless it was like you say a murder rather than a death.


You could ask the neighbours before you buy it but be warned they may be very good friends with the seller and therefore lie or claim not to know...


I would recommend googling the address in any case - I wish I'd done that before I bought my house as I found out a whole host of nightmare news articles about the people in the house attached to me!!


I'd not worry about someone dying in there though, I'm pretty sure a little girl died in my house because one of the kids on the street used to ask me why I was leaving my daughter in the house on her own everytime I left because she was always standing at the window when I left!:eek: ( I don't have kids and I live on my own)


But I've not had any concerns other than my stuff keeps disappearing from the last place I put it - but I like to use the ghost excuse because then it means I'm not losing my marbles and forgetting where ive put them

Also the house in Wardle Brook Avenue, Mottram-in-Longdendale where Edward Evans was hacked to death by Ian Brady (Moors Murderers).

Rillington Place was for a time called Ruston Close, but was demolished to allow the Westway part of the M4 to be constructed
