That old Johnson place
Last July, there was a horrific fire in a house around the corner from where I live, and two people died. On their wedding anniversary, no less. It was very tragic, and an all-around sad situation, especially when I recently heard that the fire was probably started by their son smoking in the basement.
Anyway, my neighbor told me the other day that before those people moved in, the previous owner was MURDERED. Now I don't usually believe in stuff like that, but I am staying the hell away from that house.
I bring this up because the burned out shell of the house just went up for sale. The asking price is $1.6 million, and that's even without a livable building on the land. I would be very interested to see if the real estate agent plans to tell potential buyers about the property's unseemly past.
Would you live in a house if you knew somebody was murdered in it? If two people died there on their wedding anniversary? I would really think twice about it. Even if the place isn't "haunted," I'd probably get myself in a tizzy just thinking about what happened there.
