Slightly macabre but our neighbour let slip today that in addition to the old owner expiring in the kitchen (we knew pre-purchase ) there was also a previous (wife) who died in another room. Both married to the same bloke.
(I've already asked her if there are more/an amnesty) 😆
I bet most peoples houses have had loads of folk die in them 😯
Especially if the house is over, say, 30 years old.
I don't particularly want to know about my house but it also doesn't bother me 🙂
Officially none, but the bodies haven't been found yet!
Many, as this is a Georgian terrace with plenty of ghosts having parties in the attic ... apparently.
A couple once asked why the people in the attic talked so loudly ... I kept quiet coz no one lives there. 😯
Well it smelt like one had this morning....
ours has 2 patios
unluckily for the previous owner, I'm going to dig one up soon
that'll be the skunk farmers, won't it ?A couple once asked why the people in the attic talked so loudly ... I kept quiet coz no one lives there.
No one even lived in mine before me

😆 apparently they were the only ones heard them talking and there were children too.
Yes. Ghost is real for all you scientific minded recalcitrant. 🙄
Our house is well over 100 years old and IMO does have a "never quite alone" presence.
Built in 1885. Quite a few I'd imagine.
Built late 18th century and its three tiny cottages knocked into one. I'm guessing lots!
My girlfriend frequently complains of foul gassy presences in the bedroom at night.
Slightly OT- ever needed to squeeze a fart out as you come and it ruins your a orgasm a tad due to concentration lost? 😆 (yes TMI)
Are you split screening Hora?
Hora - even by the usual standards around here that was - as my kids would say - random.
Piemonsters post sparked a thought! 😀
I was a little concerned at which activity you were engaged in whilst posting......
Barn conversion done 18 years ago so hopefully not many. Probably hundreds of cows and sheep though.

Mate, judging by the reputation you are gaining for emissions, I suggest you avoid sparks...

Why don't you get ghost animals?

You do except that they are not interesting or scary ...
True...you get Ghost bikes!!!!

Now that is scientifically disturbed ... 😆
My previous house had a owner die of cancer.
I used one room for bike repair as it always felt cold and nobody went it in there. Bike tools always went missing in there.
A neighbour told me that he'd stay in that room as he was too sick to up the stairs.
I never went in there at night again lol
Oh the irony with your forum name...
None that I know of in our house. Next door the woman died there.
However, on our estate, which is a crescent, there is death row.
It's about 30 houses long, it's the back stretch of the crescent, and that I know of, in the last 6 years, there have been at least 10 deaths in one of those houses. I also know of 3 near deaths on that row such as heart attacks, strokes where an ambulance was called. What's more alarming is that there have been 4 suicides on that row. Two of them did it in the house.
Frankenstein my DVDs always go missing in that room

Possibly his proudest moment to date 🙂

You've clearly never encountered the [url= http://forteanzoology.blogspot.co.uk/2009/03/glen-vaudrey-phantom-rabbit-of-crank.html ]White Rabbit of Crank[/url]
Rumour has it the serial killer Robert Black used to live in my ex's house, which would explain alot.
Possibly his proudest moment to date
😥
I randomly woke up with the granddaughter of the deceased who's house I bought one Sunday morning (suffice to say she freaked out when she realised who's house she was in 😀 ) and over the next few weeks managed to find out a fair bit about the history 🙂
5 births and 1 death (grandmother) in the room I sleep in 🙂
No deaths, one birth (my daughter). Positive population delta so far.
Built about 400 years ago, so I'm guessing these walls have seen plenty of stiffs.
My Mum's house was my now deceased step dad. He had cancer and in his final week was nursed in the dining room.
Me and partners house not known although two of her ex partners and her daughter have felt a prescence behind them on the stairs.
The lower floor of our house was built around the 1890s, and was quite rural so I'd imagine a few. We also live next to a squar locally known as execution square. Thanks to Franco.
On a similar line they are going to start work excavating a mass grave of 300+ on a good riding route too.
There's a house up the road, an ordinary 70s semi, where the owner bludgeoned his wife to death.
No births & no deaths as far as I can find out.
(Chap next door has been in since new).
1960's ex-Council semi.
A bit like Hora, reading this thread last night.
Found out from a neighbour that the old fella who owned the house before us died by falling down the stairs.
[i]I bet most peoples houses have had loads of folk die in them

Over 30 years old, so built say 1980. I wouldn't expect loads of people to have died in a house of that age unless the owners name is West.
Our last house was built 1890 so I'm sure a few people died in that and a few were born. It isn't something that would bother me or I find macabre.
Previous owners wife death was suspicious 'apparently', no idea if she died in the house though. We discovered a boarded up cupboard during some work, bizarrely it full of clothes that had just be left in it... this is a house built in the 70's not the 1600's!
I quite like the idea of people being born/dying in my house its the circle of life isn't it. For that reason I would never have a new build sterile house. (It's well documented that I'm a bit weird 😉 )
To answer the OP's Q, none in this house as I bought it new, though is suspect quite a few Strawberries were murdered as the groundworks were put in 🙁
However my first house was an old coachouse in Ironbridge dating from1690, fully expect quite a few had died during its previous owners and perhaps a few horses too as they climbed out of the valley from the furnaces.. 😐
