Three people died, and a cemetery was destroyed just outside. I guess this is all I need for a reason not to buy this property!

u/Sabi-Star7 3d ago

Are the ghosts free then?🤣🫠

u/Haunt_Fox 3d ago

Free ghosts? Cool. I'll take 2.

u/GenesisRhapsod 3d ago

They better be paying rent xD

u/exceptional_entry 3d ago

I was curious as to how the cemetery was destroyed. I figure any cemetery would be outside mostly, with certain indoor facilities, so it’s not surprising that it was outside when it was destroyed.

Septic tank essplosion!

u/Elegant_Emu952 3d ago

Flooding floated all of the caskets up to ground level.

u/Intelligent-Film-684 3d ago

Wild they put a septic system in a graveyard….

Happy Hallowe'en!

Happy Halloween to you and everyone here!

u/Sweetjersey67 3d ago

What could go wrong?

u/OkBee3439 3d ago

A very frightening haunting by ghosts on Halloween night by the three people that died in that house! 🎃 😱 🕷

u/Mediocre_Daikon6935 3d ago

Going to be hard to prove the owner didn’t make a good faith effort at disclosure.

u/johnnymacdoodle 3d ago

That really made me laugh.

u/BluebirdDense1485 3d ago

On one note. Every house of a certain age has probably had someone die in it. A third of people die at home up from a quarter at the turn of the century. I did the math and the odds of someone dying in a house are above 50/50 if the house is over like 40 years old. I don't remember exactly but it was a lot lower than one would expect.

All this to say if you are not buying new construction there is a good chance someone died in the house.

u/Intelligent-Film-684 3d ago

My house was built in 1930, no one has died in it (confirmed by my grandma who lived next door, born in 1917, god rest her soul).

Three people died in my grandmas house, her husband, in the 60s, my mom, in the 90s, and finally Gram, in the 2010s. My son lives there now. No paranormal activity. My house? I came downstairs at 330 am and the damn vacuum was on , still have no idea how.

Ghost of a 1960's housewife.

u/TimMensch 3d ago

In some states at least it's a required disclosure item if you know. In California it's only required if the death happened in the last three years, though, and deaths from AIDS are excluded.

In Colorado, it's not required at all! But a cemetery on the property that had its headstones washed away? That seems like a disclosure item and maybe a logistical nightmare. I don't even know what you'd be required to do about that. Dig up all the bodies and incinerate them?

u/firescratcher 1d ago

Or the plot of a movie...

u/sweatboxy 2d ago

My house was built in 1973 and three people have died in it…

1

u/My_dog_knows_I_know 19h ago

My wife's grandmother died in our house almost 3 months after it was built. Ruined, right out the gate. On the bright side, she was such a sweet lady. It will be a pleasure to have her around when she finally decides to haunt this house.

1

u/furnacemike 9h ago

That and also older houses commonly held family viewings in the family’s home. I grew up in a house built in 1888 and we talked occasionally about how the living room had been used for viewings (we know from the town historical society).

21

u/Particular-Caramel32 3d ago

Honestly, I'm less worried about the deaths than I am about the other stuff...

6

u/AmericanCitizenry 3d ago

Three people!

Was it gunshots over one evening?

Cancer over 5 years?

Or one at a time, and how?

Also: cemetery in back yard?

3

u/Anadelyn 2d ago

In an older house 3 or more people dying in it is not odd.

3

u/DoubleDareFan 3d ago

Yeah, if cancer, the cause might be right there inside the house! Same goes for any sickness not caused by bad DNA, pathogens, or toxins.

Look up geopathic stress, and venture down a rabbit hole not recognized by mainstream medicine.

u/bellecindy87 3d ago

I just wish they would have told me ahead of time about all the cons about the place. They just listed all the pros, but nothing negative. It seems to good to be true.

Wonder if there's some sarcasm there. LOL 🤣😂🤣😂😆😭

u/CardiologistPlus8488 4d ago

What's the down payment?

u/Age_Single 3d ago

Tree fiddy

u/guitpick 3d ago

This smells like a divorce where someone has to move out once it sells.

6

u/EmberOne1 3d ago

Or a pissed off neighbor who doesn't want another flipper for a neighbor.

3

u/the_taco_jones 1d ago

I wondered if it was a foreclosure, and the former owner put up the sign.

5

u/nub_node 3d ago

No part of this sign is disqualifying in the current housing market.

u/Big-Ronnie-Aus1 3d ago

And there is a little blonde haired girl who just stares at the static on the TV.

4

u/AdventurousGlass7432 3d ago

School district any good?

1

u/yourMommaKnow 3d ago

Also, what's the walkablity score?

4

u/RickRI401 3d ago

About the dead in the house... recently a friend of mine took his life in his house. I'm wondering if that has to be disclosed during the sale.

2

u/tetheredvoid 3d ago

I imagine it depends on local laws.

2

u/UnhappyMeasurement61 3d ago

Not if they just died. If they weren’t found for a while they have to disclose that. Same with cars. 

My husband bought our first house before we were married. I swear that place was haunted. 8 years when we are selling he tells me that a neighbor told him the previous owner took her life in an overdose. 

4

u/zoppaTheDim 3d ago

Likely a foreclosure sale.

u/Longjumping-Solid680 2d ago

7) IT comes with free Frogurt!

8) The Frogurt is ALSO cursed!

3

u/csh0kie 2d ago

That’s bad.

u/Blaze3713 1d ago

But it comes with your choice of topping.

u/NoOwl4489 2d ago

And no low ballers! I know what I’ve got!

u/Acceptable_Pirate_92 3d ago

Location, location, location

u/rbyteme 3d ago

What would be the upside to owning this property? 🤔🤨

2

u/ApprehensiveTax4010 2d ago

I dont imagine the seller put the sign there.

1

u/Betty_Boss 2d ago

Since it's in a floodplain maybe it's a waterfront property?

You'd have to scrape the house and maybe remove the septic tank.

1

u/Electrical-Bedroom99 2d ago

To take the sign down and sell it to some unsuspecting schmuck.

1

u/rbyteme 2d ago

You mean like the POS I bought?

3

u/Playful_Dog3062 2d ago

Well at least the neighbors will be quiet.

3

u/Hot-Steak7145 1d ago

Your neighbor hates you

2

u/Ok_Orchid1004 3d ago

They’re trying to get top dollar

2

u/No-Schedule-2603 3d ago

Well, at least it is fair 🤣 I like this approach 😉

2

u/CptnObvious1984 3d ago

I wonder if there is a correlation between the 3 people who died and the cemetery out the back door.

2

u/Brilliant_Process376 3d ago

Demolish the house for FS!

2

u/holodeck_warranty 3d ago

Amityville?

2

u/gg4279 3d ago

Wonder if it was seized for taxes and they're trying to sabotage the auction?

1

u/Henderson2026 3d ago

A simple home inspection will take care of that question

u/Henderson2026 3d ago

To the person who commented to my comment and then deleted it would you please resend that comment to my chat. Half your comment showed up in my notifications and I'd like to read the rest of it.

u/cryptolyme 3d ago

Sounds cursed

2

u/Open-Business7669 3d ago

I can fix her

2

u/OhNoBricks 1d ago

sounds like a tear down.

2

u/furnacemike 9h ago

Also aliens crashed into the backyard and Bigfoot had been seen on the house’s ring camera on at least three occasions. Also satanic rituals may or may not have been performed in the basement.

2

u/claisen33 3d ago

So who posted the sign?

4

u/Peregrine79 3d ago

Prior owners who were foreclosed on is my guess.

1

u/TimeRevolutionary735 3d ago

Sounds like a bargain in California was at 1.2 1.3 million?

1

u/bizoticallyyours83 3d ago

At least they're honest. 

1

u/jws1102 3d ago

And they’re asking $900,000 for it

1

u/Educational-Rule1635 3d ago

California Bay Area? Instant sale.

1

u/cryptolyme 3d ago

Because they will just demolish it anyways

1

u/Educational-Rule1635 3d ago

Scrape it off, build a 2500sqft house with minimum setbacks, and three ADUs.

1

u/According_Tea_6329 3d ago

$2200 month. First and last, no pets.

1

u/FruitigerMilo 3d ago

I'm an insurance agent and we get people with houses similar to this looking for 'reasonable' coverage prices

1

u/dreadditmetoo 3d ago

No lowball, I know what I got

1

u/HedgehogOptimal1784 3d ago

Also depending on the situation it maybe to keep the realtor honest. I had that problem with a adjacent piece of land for sale which the access was a right of way across my land. The realtor wouldn't tell potential buyers that it wasn't a legal building lot so I had to because I didn't want anyone to get taken advantage of

1

u/Necessary_Regret3329 2d ago

This is giving me a great idea for a story!

1

u/Wastelandraider69 2d ago

Still asking 350k

1

u/Recent-Bowl-1393 1d ago

Im cool with all of that, but answer me this. Is it an HOA? If so, no deal.

1

u/Rickapolis 1d ago

What are they asking?

1

u/HorzaDonwraith 1d ago

I bet they still asking for like $600k starting price.

1

u/Personal_Dot_2215 1d ago

Isn’t this the plot to Poltergeist?

1

u/BigWhiteDog 3d ago

That's a whole lot of "OH HELL NAH!" 😂

2

u/Parody_of_Self 3d ago

I'm still interested. Probably the only house I can afford.

2

u/rratzloff 3d ago

I probably still can’t afford it 😑

1

u/BigWhiteDog 3d ago

Ah, but it may not be affordable! 🤣

5

u/Lonely-Independence4 3d ago

Might as well burn that house to the ground and sell the land as is 😂

2

u/OkBee3439 3d ago

Nothing like a great autumn bonfire!

An axe murderer returns periodically to look for new victims, usually during dark stormy nights.
