wow that's awful, I was thinking like an old man or something

Guess i`d have a harder time with living in a place that someone was murdered in than someone having just died, since it will be a natural event for all of us at sometime or another.
We did stay in a motel room once that i later found out someone had been murdered in and that really creeped me out It was hard to imagine that i`d actually fallen asleep in the same room where such a voilent act had taken place.

No... the community of buildings is mostly younger kids - 20's-30's - college kids and young married couples.

Its so sad - I still cant believe it happened right next door to us.

This is a awful way to go.

I moved into a (single person) dorm room where a girl had died (she was diabetic) about two months before I moved in. I knew her slightly... but honestly, it didn't bother me that much.

She was a really nice person and I guess I felt like she would have rather had me move in that room then stay in the roommate situation I was in. I just said a prayer in there when I first moved in and never thought about it much since.

It would bother me if someone had been murdered though.

I am sadly used to it as well. It doesn't happen everyday where I work, but it happens often enough. I have found residents dead, and have even given cpr to a dying man. Didn't think I'd ever be able to do such a thing, but you do what you must.

Wow-I was thinking he was probly an older man too. Thats crazy!!

Immagine all those dead people laying UNDER your house!

I know its probably not as much in america but when i moved to Germany i felt bad for walking on the pavement thinking of all the dead people under the ground from the war! (i was 15 ok?? )

Whats Crystal Meth?

I don't think I would WANT To know if someone had died in the house (murder or not). Or even if people were busted for drugs or whatnot.

To me it's the same idea as hotels, I don't WANT to know who was there or what happened prior to my rental of the place.

I think for the most part though apartments don't tell because it could hurt the business. I remember when I moved out of my parent's house I was looking at a place, but then there was a murder in an apartment at the complex. I stopped checking them out right then (even though it was a personal murder, not a random one)

Wow! That is creepy! Plus it was an OD. There is no telling what they will find when they clean that place out. I am soo glad we built ours and noone has ever lived there before. Although there is a cemetery right down the road from us and we keep finding weird piles of rocks on our property (not like Blair witch or anything). Like old stills and stuff. It makes me wonder if Indians used to live there or what.

When I was in my first year of College I was home one weekend and herd a woman screaming. It was my neibor's mother she was screaming in Russian and I couldn't understand her then I saw my neibor hanging from a tree I ran in and called 911, my mother a nurse went to check if he was alive but he was dead. When the police showed we asked them to cut him down for the sake of his mother who was looseing it, but they coudn't cut him down until the coroner came.... 3 hours later they cut him down. He had commited suicide. I still to this day do not know if they told the people that later bought the house. I still have a creepy feeling if I drive past that house it's wierd. There is no disclosure law in Canada so it's not required to tell people somone died there

They dont have to tell.
A unit where I live had two people die in one year - and it was rented out again quickly. I had wanted to move into it (it has a yard) but the bad vibe kept me out.

I think about that sometimes, too, Fran, especially in the large cities that were bombed out. I suppose that applies to a lot of European cities (just think of London).

We have a house that was built directly on top of a medieval cemetery, and we've never let on to our tenants.

Wow.... thats so creepy.
I think the lady who lived in my parents house before us died there, she was old and probably passed in her sleep. My family lived there for 25 years or so. I wouldn't want to know.
Hotel rooms, well, there was an episode of Dave Attell Insomniac where he went around with people who did night jobs and one of them's job was to clean out hotels and such after someone died, especially murders, like rip out all the bloody carpet, clean the walls, etc, after the cops were done with the investigation. He said if you've stayed in the number of hotel rooms an average American does, you've almost definitely stayed in one where someone was murdered. Creepy, huh?
I'm so sorry, I would be scared for a while if my neighbor died. Meth is a bad bad thing.
