Would you live in the perfect house or apartment rent-free if you found out a brutal murder had taken place there and it was rumored to be haunted? Why or why not?
I totally would, especially if it was in a better neighborhood (which wouldn't take much).
Why? Oh, lots of reasons. "Perfect house" being one of them. My definition of MY perfect house would have a great big library with floor to ceiling shelves---enough room for all my books and space for natural expansion. It'll also have a spacious kitchen with tons of counter-space and new appliances, a laundry room that will make wash days a delight, a master bedroom that does NOT face east and at least one bathroom with a big jacuzzi tub.
Brutal murder? That's always perplexed me---a brutal murder as opposed to what, a gentle murder? I suppose if you blew someone's brains out in their sleep and they didn't know about it, it wouldn't be as bad as taking a chainsaw to them in the front parlor, but still, murder is murder.
That said, smudge the hell out of the place, pun intended, and carry on. I'm counting on perfection to outweigh any squickiness factor.
As far as haunting goes, bring it on. I've never seen a ghost, but there's enough lore that I'm willing to believe there's something to it.
So yeah, I'll give the so-called haunted house a try. Oh, and have I mentioned that AI and several other folks from church are amateur ghost-busters? I'd be the most popular gal in town. "Sure, come on over with your EMF meter, I'll make us some popcorn!"
