To have shivers after this info about my house

[ToJustWantToGetOnThePlane]

I live in a rented house. I’ve been here for almost a year.

I invited my neighbor around for drinks tonight- the first meeting since I’ve been here.

She mentioned that the LL wife had committed suicide in our bedroom.

I was a little 🤢

Oh no, that’s awful. That would really make me feel uncomfortable too. So sad. Do you live there alone?

Oh my goodness she should never have told you that! Any normal person would think, hmm probs best not to mention that. Were drinks involved?

Well I would definitely not invite your neighbor over again. What a ghoul.

How insensitive of her to tell you that.

Could neighbour be pulling your leg?

Oh dear. That is something I would rather not know about

The trouble is, everything has happened everywhere

I won't trouble you with two stories of places I've lived....I just try and think of it as billions of people, at some point something will have happened in your home.

I don't know why the neighbour felt the need to tell you though...I didn't know why neighbors told me either!!!

Oh sorry just re-read, she obviously slipped with a couple of drinks down. 😬 oh gosh that is difficult would feel the same - am thinking hiring Derren Brown to erase the memory of that conversation?

I didn’t get the impression she was joking.

She described the ‘attempts’ & then looked horrified when she realised I didn’t know anything about it.

I’m sorry if this is upsetting to anyone

That's an abhorrent thing to tell you. I would be very upset with the neighbor. Unnecessary and actually very mean to tell you that.

OMG 😳

What a cow! She really didn't need to pass that on.

It’s a bit woo but you could try burning white sage in the room

I'm surprised people are so appalled at being told a fact? She obviously thought you knew OP, no need for posters to be so nasty about it.

People die in houses all the time. It doesn't mean anything.

Christ, whoever in their right mind would think to pass on this sort of information?

Mind you, I live in a large Victorian house that's been converted into flats. In recent years, there have been two suicides that you know of, plus undoubtedly more gruesome events that I don't know about. It's the way it is with older buildings, but your neighbours was out of order to volunteer the information.

My neighbours house, which is rented out, has had 2 separate deaths of previous tennants,
but I would never dream of telling anyone about it

That is so cruel.

That I know of, obviously.

The poor woman (the landlord's wife, not the neighbour)

I’d feel very sorry for the woman who took her own life and I’d wonder why. I’d think about her and feel sad for her, but it wouldn’t bother me from a ‘oh my god someone died here’ pov. But then, I’ve had more than my share of people dying and seeing them after they’ve died, that death and dead bodies don’t worry me. She took her own life, for her own reasons and none of them were about you or your house. Make it a happy home again.

My old flat had the same sad story. A local lad, one of two brothers, hung himself on the back of my living room door. My neighbour found him and took him down to try and revive him. Sadly it was too late.
The tragedy is only 2 or 3 years before his younger brother had also committed suicide. At my friends flat.
They were both nice lads, neither of them bad. So I felt ok about it, didnt feel spooked or anything.

Did ask my landlord if he had changed the door though!

It was still my happy wee home!

Most houses have had someone die in them, unless they are new builds. I'm quite surprised at the reactions on here. Assuming nothing woo has happened in the year you have been there it really wouldn't bother me.

We've had woo stuff happen in my house, it's part of a row of houses that were bombed in the war, the majority of the street was young families of the dock workers and most of them died.
Doesn't really bother me apart from the majority of my mugs vanishing overnight when there's just me and two under 5s in the house
That poor poor woman to feel like she needed to do that though

years ago a guy (son of a family friend) dropped me home at 11 o clock at night, DH at work for the night and said "oh, I think the Boston Strangler killed one of his victims in this apartment block" And left me to go in alone :)

Most places have had people die in them or have had awful things happen (miscarriages/fights/misery) as well as joy and happiness. I wouldn't be bothered at all.

Nasty bitch. What was she hoping to achieve?
