Dead people

[sherrardk]

Does anyone know how to find out if anyone has died in your house?

[smudge]

You could always ask the 'old' neighbours - if there are any still around of course.

You may hear conflicting stories though. One neighbour told me that a Police Inspector who used to live in our house, also died in it. Another neighbour told me he went into hospital & died there, so we'll never really know.

Wouldn't the smell tell you?

Do a head count

Why would you want to know anyway? I'd prefer not to know as I would start imagining things if I couldn't sleep one night.
GruntFuttock and ecoman - great answers! made me laugh out loud- ssssh - s'posed to be working!

Your'e right valsuey - I was mortified to hear that someone had died in our house, then was quite relieved to find that he'd died in hospital - unles of course, that person was only sayng that to comfort me.........!

That is very spooky 10CS & I don't blame you daughter for wanting to move!

My husband & I have got our two youngest Granddaughters (3 & 6) overnight & have not long come back from a long walk in the dark with them, which they both found very exciting!. We took them in & around the local Church gardens - both had torches in their hands. They were fine until the eldest one realised there were lots of people buried under the very old graves, but we reassured her that the dead can't hurt you, only the living can!

I thought back to this thread & I hope that is the case!

They're both tucked up in bed soundo now, so all is well.

Well it's highly likely that there will have been a death in any house over say 50 years old (I'm guessing here) and that the older it is the more likely it is given that at one time most people died at home. Nothing to be alarmed about even if you are superstitious.

Does it matter? One of the few things that we all have in common is that we all end up dead. We attach many meanings to death, whether it be from a religious point of view or from watching too many late night horror movies, or whatever, but the truth still remains, everything that lives eventually dies.

As dzug says, virtually all houses have seen death. There's nothing odd about it, except that thinking makes it so. Sleep well, and don't have nightmares.
