No, not ghosts. But I believe that kind of violence leaves something that lingers behind.

Those are my thoughts.

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.

I wouldn't want to live in a house like that, unless I just absolutely had to!

Just wouldn't.

I agree with that. That it's just a house I mean. And I guess blood doesn't cry out from the ground anymore. But I still would just prefer not living in a house where so much violence took place.

But if they saw and felt peace there do you think it would not have a greater impact that God is more powerful that the violence that was committed there?

From what I understand they were in the process of getting a divorce. So that is another spirit to possibly have to deal with. But God is more than able to cleanse the home. IMO

But you are right, who ever buys it may not have a lot of overnight company.

I don't know. I drive down roads where a lot of blood has been shed in violent accidents. I don't ever feel anything as I go down the roads.

The stigma may keep some from getting close enough to finding the peace there.

Again, I am not trying to talk you out of it. Just giving a POV that you may not have.

Well that is different entirely to me. The evil that would cause someone to violently take another life is totally different.

But you know you may also be right about the peace that could be shown by the Holy Ghost. God's spirit would drive out any evil spirit if it was there.
