Would you buy a "Notorious" house/building ?

Boleskine House isn't looking good these days.

My great uncle hung himself

Hanged.

Not sure I'd be able to walk into the hall everyday where he was swinging from the ceiling...

It would certainly restrict access.

Slight OT but I worked with a guy who's dad hanged himself and the amount of times you are just talking normally and you'd say if I have to do much more of this I'll top myself or any other suicide faux pas is unreal.

I prefer 'helpful and amusing'. But each to their own.

I thought it was funny in a very dark way...

I had the same problem when I purchased one of my cars a while back. The guy had gassed himself. There were obvious signs that he had been living in it. Shoes, clothes, bank statements, letters from his family and children as well as photos of (I hope!) his children.

Thought long and hard about buying it but it was very cheap. In the end I thought...well people die in houses so what is the difference?


I would love a haunted house.

Not sure if this is a good time to mention this or not, but back in the late 1980s in the days before detailing and carwashes everywhere, I used to help out the odd afternoon and Saturday washing and valeting cars, some poor bloke had topped himself using a shotgun in his car, even a power hose inside the car didn't get all the blood and brains out of the binacles and rooflining, so a scrubbing brush was required. We certainly earned our pay that week, wasn't something I'm in any hurry to help do again.

I passed this the other day and thought of this thread, I wonder what the new owners will do with it and how much are you allowed to do?

There are some houses next to it - peppercorn rent in return for a garden space?

I've just looked up Boleskine House. I'd love to live there!

I don't follow the site irreligiously, but I'd take a tent, I don't think there's much left.

The house I grew up on was the scene of suicide by self immolation.

There is a home for everybody I guess.

It sure is haunted anyway!

No it isn't.

I take it you've been then?

First of all, ghosts and hauntings are the stuff of fantasy.

Well that's that then! Because someone on PH says so.

And the unquestionable evidence for the existence can be found where? Really though, it's such a preposterous concept it doesn't warrant contemplating.

My wife works in an office full of 55+ year old women, all of them have been to see a clairvoyant and believed every word they were told

I remember reading many times ,, yes a figure floated through the wall but we didn't have a camera, most people now have a high definition still and video camera in their pocket at all times so why hasn't anyone filmed one anywhere, ever

I think we know the answer

I wouldn't buy a house that would attract ghouls of the human kind but a death wouldn't worry me
