My family moved into a haunted house when I was 8 years old. My family lived in the house for 15 terrifying years. There were a number of ghosts in our house, but the ones we saw the most were the ones that identified themselves as “Dave and Florence.” Dave was a tyrant of a ghost. Florence was simply present. The house still exists, though it was moved to another location.
My parents purchased the house far under market value. Why didn’t we move out quickly, like everyone else had for as long as the neighbors could remember? My parents said that they couldn’t afford to move.
I recall when my parents took me to the house the first time. I looked around and said, “Its awfully dark in here…” I didn’t have the volcabularly or experience to explain what I meant or felt that made the house appear “dark.” Now I do.
Living in a haunted house has its consequences, as the unseen presences affect the physical human being’s thoughts, feelings and emotions. One upside is that after experiencing the presence of a ghost, one will never question whether there is life after the death.

Well, my sister committed suicide when she was 19 in our house…she took some pills, got in the tub, ran a hot bath, and died. My dad and I found her a few hours later, about 3 am. That was December 1998. I wanted desperately to move, but they wouldn’t. I flatly refused to shower in that bathroom for about a year, and though I eventually did have to use the bathroom, it ALWAYS freaked me out and I couldnt wait to get out of there. However, after we replaced the blood stained carpet in front of the bathroom and remodeled the house, it was a lot easier to handle. Being so long ago, I doubt that it would affect the sale of the house if we were to put it on the market now. It’s a nice house, built in 1990, so it doesn’t have any creepy vibes like some old homes.

When I was about 4 years old we lived in an old 3 story house in a pretty big city in Washington. The house was haunted, but I don’t know if someone died it in. When my parents left for an evening, my 3 sisters and I were left there alone. I remember them freaking out because doors up stairs would open and close.

Looking back I remember all of this but since I was so young nothing bothered me. I didn’t know why they were scared and staying downstairs. The house was old and creaky. The floors creaked, the wood was old and the house just felt old. I would go up the stairs and walk around.. nothing was there and I would tell them that. Was the house haunted? Yes.. but at the time I didn’t know anything about that. Its kinda freaky looking back and realizing that I would go upstairs by myself.

It completely depends on how the person died. Dying from sickness or old age is one thing- happens all the time and wouldn’t freak me out- especially if it was a family member. However, if the home had been the site of a horrible murder where 3 or 4 people were brutally murdered- then no way.

I’ve also moved into a house that someone died in… and it was the last resident. The other residents of the adjacent apartment building had stories moving between him committing suicide and just kinda dying as a result of depression and complications from a bad car accident that happened right outside our driveway. Previously, I would’ve said that would scare the shit out of me, but I’m a college student renting this place for $650/mo in the Philly metro area, and frankly that’s a damn steal. It’s old, like the original structure was built in the 1850′s so I wouldn’t be surprised if *someone* died here years ago… but I can’t afford much more than this. Plus it’s a nice place… a bit run down old fashioned, but it suits my needs for now. Plus, I have a huge yard and it’s private and *beautiful*! But at times, I do get a bit freaked out from noises and creaking, but I have to remember I live in the middle of a bit of forest and I have a cat and a rabbit, so I just shove it off and realize I’m a bit weird. I don’t really believe in ghosts because well, I haven’t seen one yet, but I kinda try to make peace with whatever’s here because I sometimes get a creeping feeling… He seems to friendly so far though, lol.
