Expert Answer

You can sense if someone died in a house or place, but it's not something everyone can do. You need to be in tune with your soul and spiritual self to feel that kind of energy. If you're an empath or extremely sensitive, it can be easy to tell. When you walk into a space, you might feel a funky or heavy energy if someone has died there. This feeling comes from the residual energy left after a trauma or event. Sensitive individuals often feel it in their body, and the air might feel heavier. For mediums or psychics, they might even connect more deeply with that residual energy to understand what happened.

Question

Why exactly does it matter if a stranger died at your house? Are curses and ghosts real or something?

Community Answer

It doesn't officially matter if someone died on a property. However, some prospective homeowners don't want to settle down in a house where something really violent happened, like a homicide or suicide.

Question

Why do some people not want to settle down in a house where something violent happened?

Community Answer

It's really a matter of personal preference! Some people don't like the idea of living in a building that has really dark, negative memories attached to it, while other people don't care about the past history of the home.

Question

I don't leave my room because I am a hermit, but I think my grandma died in my house ten days ago. How can I check without leaving my room? Should I call 911?

Community Answer

Either come out of your room or call 911 and ask for a "welfare check" at your address, in which case the police will come and check on your grandma. Be prepared to let the police into your home (or else they may have to break in).

Question

I was talking to a neighbor a few months ago, and they said that a girl had died in my house unexpectedly. honestly, i did some research and i couldn't find anything. do you think it was a hoax?

Community Answer

It's hard to say. Question the neighbor further, or talk with the real estate agent who sold you the house. They should know and are obliged to divulge that information.
