A couple buys a house and then finds out a brutal murder occurred there.

Would you stay or go if this was your house? Also, do you think the previous owners were obligated to disclose the murder to the buyers?
I can see the ad now…
“Dismembered body parts and tortured ghosts convey!”
I don’t think I’d be able to stay there. Especially since there may still be body parts hiding under floorboards or in the walls! Just imagine reaching far onto the top shelf of your closet, looking for some old tapes you’re sure you put up there, and having a skeletal foot drop down and hit you in the face! :eek:
Then again, you could make it into some sort of freaky “haunted house” bed-and-breakfast place and make tons of money off it.
More than 100 pieces? Wasn’t that going a bit overboard?
The house in which I live was built in 1829 . . . I’m sure any number of people have died there.
My house is late 1800s, and I’m pretty sure someone died, although I doubt we had a slice-and-dice murder. I could stay there, but I would prefer that all the blood be wiped up before I move in.
Considering not too long ago it was standard practise to do the showing of a dead person in your own house, I don’t think many old houses could be considered not “icky”. Heck, I’ve read that preparing the dead person was generally done in the bath tub!
I wouldn’t really care either way. I would of course use this sort of info to decrease the purchase price of the home (if I knew before hand!) 
I’d stay, but I’d probably have the house blessed.
I’d only do that if I found out someone had sneezed there.
I will remember to Google the address of any house I wish to buy in the future.

If I liked it enough to buy it in the first place, I’d probably stay.
I would so totally stay. Why on earth should it matter what happened there previously as long as all the blood is cleaned up?
Ten years ago, my husband and I bought our first home. I believe the disclosure rules may have changed since then…but when we signed the contract, we discovered that a previous owner had hung himself from the rafters of the detached garage in the back yard.
Our dogs refused to go into that garage… :eek:
Yeah, I’d stay!
A great way to keep the dogs from shedding all over the car.
