Everybody leaves this life at some point, it's only temporary and the spirit lives on....happens every minute of every day for 1000's and 1000's of years....if you're afraid to go somewhere where someone has died, well you have bigger issues.

BTW, better stay away from the hospital, and the OR for that matter...lots of people die there everyday....

The way she died makes a huge difference. I would not have a problem with someone passing from old age in their home. In fact my mother n law passed away from old age in her home. I was there with her when she passed.

Since then I have both been in the house hundreds of times and even slept there many. Yes, I thought about it but everything was fine.

Now, if it were the scene of a grisly murder, I personally would pass.

That's just me....good luck!

Sheesh. Until I read this, I never thought about it, but three family members have died at home in my mother's house where I live right now. My grandmother, my aunt and my dad. Right in the room I'm sitting in as a matter of fact. Not natural causes (stroke/cancer/ALS). I'll bet lots of homes have had owners die at home.

Good point.

But, just to nitpick --- stroke, ALS, and cancer are natural causes. Maybe premature in the modern sense but certainly natural.

Gone are the days of women dying at age 40 (or much younger) in childbirth and men dying in large numbers on the battlefield.

Natural causes wouldn't bother me........suicide and/or murder would. When I was looking at houses I looked at one where the owner had committed suicide (I didn't know or I wouldn't have even looked). It was a creepy house with a dirt basement and the realtor didn't disclose it but I wasn't interested! I found out later and I hope he disclosed it to whomever bought it.

I am not actually sure WHAT I believe, but I have been personally present at two deaths. I also helped prepare my sisters body (makeup, hair, nails) because we knew the pros would make her look like an old lady.

Those experiences have taught me that death is something that happens to everyone who had the privelidge of living.

It wouldn't bother me, but I think our own minds are very powerful and will determine how you experience this:

a. non event

b. benign but spirtual

c. weird/creepy haunting

....Stayed a few more nights and nothing even remotely strange like that happened again.

I guess you drank all of the Tequila the 1st night? :)

yes.

But I do think like everyone else that if it was a murder I would probably want to maybe get the sleeping bag and check it out before hand.

The experience that Dub mentioned I have had before, along with waking up with the lights on in my house that were OFF when I went to sleep. The lights was twice, that was weird.

I also have felt someone sit on the bed next to me. I woke up and could kind of "sense" who it was and why he was there.

I believe its possible but I was never scared.

I've lived in a couple places where someone has passed. Nothing ever happened.

My ex-boyfriend is a realtor and told me some states, but not all, require they reveal if a person has died on a property before they sell it. Unless you're living in relatively new construction, there's a good chance many of us have lived in a home where someone died. Dying of old age at home doesn't sound like a big deal really.

I assume you've toured the place? If it was "haunted," whoever is managing the property would probably have trouble with upkeep. Same ex-boyfriend told me he knows which houses in our area are haunted. Maybe one or two people buy them and dump them shortly after. Then they stay vacant. The yards are a mess and simple repairs aren't made because whoever is hired to do that work quits quickly and suddenly.

If the place looks like it's been kept up, that's probably a good sign.

There is a reason your drawn to this place and I wouldn't give up on it over a death. Even If you live in new construction there is a chance of a death on the land it is what it is.

As to haunted houses, I live in central Kentucky and know of a couple of "haunted houses" that are old but very well kept up and quite nice. I guess it depends on the nature of the "haunting"!

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
