Cool coincidence...thanks mylot LOL

LOL well it is a lot cheaper than it's worth in my opinion so I'm guessing it's past is part of the reason. I posted two pictures in the last few comments and here's another one...

That house looks huge!

It's a bit over 2200 square feet of living area plus a full (unfinished) basement and attic!

I do feel the same way...but I'm thinking, at least I know what I'm dealing with here. My first house with my now ex-hubby, we didn't know much about but something was definitely 'wrong' with it. We never saw anything, it just felt bad. Anyway...I've posted a few pictures throughout the other comments and here's one more for everyone to see.

I just love the woodwork. Some of the doorways have really fancy trim and corner moldings too and it all looks to be in good shape. As for your house, it may not be the house itself but maybe the land? I've heard of negative energies lingering on the land even after the original buildings were long gone. The house ex-hubby and I had...the owners before us moved because of a bad divorce, our marriage was basically destroyed in that house (even though we lived there for only our first year of marriage), the people who lived in it after us seperated (while she was pregnant) but did get back together but with the understanding they would move out, the people after that were adult siblings and they all ended up in jail for various things, they foreclosed and it went to a convent. The nuns didn't stay long and it went to the monastary. The monks use it a little for retreats but it's empty most of the time. Back in the 60's a family lived there but the parents also divotrced once the children were adults (divorce was very frowned upon in that community back then) and throughout the 70's it was a modern day "house of ill-repute"...various illegal activities that I think mylot would censor out.

It looks really pretty! And all the woodwork is beautiful! And, isn't it weird how you can sense something odd about a place with walls and a roof? LOL! I live in a brand new house (we bought it brand new) but, I get a sense of weirdness on occasions. I don't know if someone passed away while it was being built. I never heard anything and, I am not sure, but I think that that is something that is supposed to be disclosed but, there is just something odd sometimes. I will see something out of the corner of my eye or feel like I am being watched. I don't know. It is very likely my own imagination but, I just know what I feel sometimes and, it gives me the creeps now and then. LOL!

Oh my! I don't think I could have used that bathroom again either! I would have had to gut the room and put all brand new stuff in it....including a very heavy lock on the door! We haven't seen the house in person yet, only the pictures on various real estate websites. I also haven't found much info on the murder itself...online newspaper archives only go back to 2003 so if I want to know anything I'll have to sift through things at the historical society or ask the new neighbors. I'm thinking it may have happened in the kitchen, besides being the logical room, the agent I spoke with seemed to bit a bit flustered when she explained that the hardwood floor in the kitchen was missing a few boards...I didn't think much about it at the time since it is an old house and sometimes owners just give up on renovations...but now, I'm think there may have been a good reason to tear up a section of boards.

oops meant to add this picture. It's mainly of the beautiful built-in in the dining room but what's left of the kitchen can be seen though the doorway.

Yes, it looks to need some work, but you have a good sturdy home to work with, unlike mine..

LOL...yeah I definitely won't be sitting alone in the dark for a while...or ever! I'm scared of the dark as it is lol because of my parents house and The Blair Witch movie. Anyway I am so happy too...I'm really hoping to find out more about this house but it's a small town and no one seems to have gotten anything online...at least nothing I can find. Plus I don't know names associated with the house so it's hard to do much research.

Oh, this isn't creepy, it is gorgeous I love the dining area with the windows all around..Beautiful..

Yeah, I'm not looking forward to the upkeep of over 2200 sq. ft. but the wood floors will help some with that...I hate vacuuming, I'll sweep and mop anyday.

Thanks! I have decided to be positive and act as though this is my house and that there is no other option. I know the disappointment will be worse if something does fall through but I think this attitude is the best way to stay focused on the goal and not get overwhelmed by the process. I'm running out of pictures to share so here is one of the little shed/building behind the house.

Oh, yes. I've scattered quite a few pictures throughout my comments on this discussion. The ones of the outside of the house are on the first page and various inside shots are on pages 2 and 3.

Nice, do you have any of the home itself?

Oh, it's definitely creepy but it's not like I expect anything evil to jump out at me LOL. I figure in it's 108 years a lot of other good things have happened there to keep it a 'happy house'.

Ehh...it's not really bravery. I just don't get too bothered by things of this nature.

That's my plan. This is MY home and I will put a positive energy back into it. This is the last photo I have for the time being and sorry it's not very exciting. I plan to take more when we do our walk through.

The woodwork is beautiful, I love it..As for the light, I would leave it..Though maybe changing the glass coverings, but the rest of it looks really pretty..

And I have thought of things like that. My oldest daughter is even more sensitive than me so if nothing else I'll have it blessed or something for her peace of mind.

LOL...yeah my s/o said "greaat, we'll move in and history will repeat itself" I have every intention of making it a home so I'm sure it will all be just fine.

I think that's the main thing...I love it so none of the issues seem very troublesome to me. Somethings have made me stop and think but overall I just keep going back to all the potential it has and how it is exactly what I've always had in my mind for a home...you ever find something that is such a perfect fit it feels like it must have been meant for you all along?I'm going to have to try the historical society and neighbors for the history I think. The newspaper only has online archives going back to 2003 and I don't know names of previous owners yet. I only have one more photo after this one. Hope you've enjoyed them all!

Oh, a fireplace with a mantel and a mirror above it..That is awesome..

LOL...I hope not too but if he does, it's nothing I haven't dealt with before!
