We found out after we purchased our first "house", that the man who lived there shot himself in the bedroom. We found the patched up hole. It was ok with us.
(the reason that "house" is in "" is because it was a single wide ) Didn't want my friends to get a good laugh that I would call that a house!!
Resale value would probably be low. But on the plus side you might be able to pick up a real estate investment at a bargain price. Then through careful marketing, you can play up the "historical" nature of the property. Invite the History Channel and the National Enquirer to feature your property in their "investigations" of the paranormal.
In 30 years you could sell it at a premium touting the "haunted" nature of the residence.

Or maybe I'm too cynical.
Some people take investments for granted...
Perhaps one could apply for a "Pel" grant...

A lot worse things happen in secret in houses we might own or rent.
No doubt.

They did not disclose this to you before you bought?
I understand in our state it is required to be disclosed.

If you had an opportunity to buy a home for a really good price would you live there if you knew that there had been a mulitiple murder and sucicide?
IF no, why not?
I wouldn't have a problem living there unless the crimes garnered alot of media attention and there was a problem with sight seers and gawkers. I understand the John and Patsy Ramsey house in Colorado still has alot of people drivin' by, taking photos and trampling around the yard. I wouldn't want that. As far as "evil spirits" and ghosts. Nah, I don't think "evil spirits" inhabit houses and I don't believe in ghosts. People, in their imaginations, give "evil spirits" more power than they really have. I was watching "Paranormal State" the other night and I have come to a conclusion: All this "paranormal" stuff is a bunch of baloney.

So if you intend to us this house as a place to reach out and show hospitality to the community, you may loose some of them because of the stigma associated with the house. Not a reason not to get it, but just something to consider.
As well as the fact that many in the world today are superstitious and spiritual. They don't want to embrace the God of the Bible, because He has requirements and is too absolute for their liking... but they are open to there being spirits and an afterlife.
Because people won't accept the God of Creation as he is... but rather want to believe in a being... or beings... they are open to believing that the spirits of people who die are floating around and may stick with the house they died in...
This won't change because we know our God and we know His word.
