Today, I was painting my new house when my neighbor introduced himself. Mid-conversation, he said, "The lady who lived here was nice, but just couldn't get over her husband hanging himself in the garage. Or her son shooting himself in the basement." I'll never sleep again. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my new neighbor informed me with great relish that the house I have just bought is haunted because 30 years ago a man shot himself in the kitchen. I'm now paying a huge mortgage on a house I'm frightened to be alone in. FML
Today, I asked a colleague what part of town he was from. After explaining, he went on to say how much his wife loved the house and its location. That was of course until she died and soiled herself in their bed one night, which he didn't realise until the next morning. Sorry for asking. FML
Today, after 3 days of interrupted sleep, I confronted my new neighbor about the noise his wife keeps making during their "private time". He then let me know the noise is actually from his daughter, who's mentally disabled and isn't taking the move well. FML
Today, after three days of getting stared at by my neighbour from the window, I realized that she wasn't alive anymore. FML
Today, less than a day after my cranky downstairs neighbor passed away, I woke up to banging sounds against his apartment ceiling, like the ones he used to make whenever I walked around during the night. I'm shitting myself in fear. FML
Today, I heard my asshole neighbor had died of a stroke. I was outside and said, "Well it's about goddamn time!" I turned around to see his wife walking her dog and staring deep into my soul. FML
Today, I made an offhand comment to a close friend about having to keep a close eye on my toddler so he “doesn’t kill himself.” As the words escaped my lips, I realized that this was the same friend whose husband shot himself in the face five months ago. FML
Today, my downstairs neighbor died. I knew because the smell wafted up to my apartment. FML
Today, as I was leaving for work, I discovered my neighbor had just passed away. I found out when I came across his body lying in my front yard. FML
Today, an ambulance took away the woman from next door. I thought that the flat was empty since I’d never seen her, but turns out she’d been dead for 2 years. She died in bed, meaning every time I went to sleep in my bed she was only 2 feet away on the other side of the wall. I’m now super creeped out. FML

Isn't it a legal thing to disclose if people have died on the property prior to purchase? I could be totally wrong though.

OP should consider having his local priest bless each room, etc. in his house.

The lady was "nice?" She drove her child and husband to suicide! Either she's pure evil or the house is cursed. You might need an extra coat in the basement to cover the spatter.

How is it her fault? Way to jump to conclusions.

I think you only have to disclose murders, but that could be dictated by regional laws.

Not in every state. I know in Montana you're not legally inclined to disclose that information.

Do you not google the address of a place before you buy it? If only to compare listing details on various sites and learn about the neighborhood? Hell, I was looking at a condo and when I searched the address, found that in another unit a woman had drowned her children and shot herself about ten years earlier. It's awful, but if it's something you care about, this stuff is often in the news, and the internet doesn't forget.

Why not? You don’t have to do those things, you can be creative and be unique! Toaster in the bathtub perhaps? People die everywhere. Relax
