Death with a View

Would you pay one million dollars to live in a house where 5 people were murdered? The Orange County Register is taking a pole to find out the answer to that very question.
The home boasts 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms & 3,800 square feet with gorgeous ocean views. And, possibly, a few ghosts. Not to mention some seriously bad karmic residue and more negative energy than a whole bushel of sage could smudge out.
A part of me (possibly the bravest or stupidest-I’m not sure which) says yeah, I’d buy that house. Why not? It’s a beautiful house and the price is pretty good. Ghosts aren’t any more real than vampires or aliens.
The other part of me is majorly icked out. Every odd smell, strange noise or uneasy feeling would send my imagination running wild. What if the victims didn’t realize they were dead, like on Ghost Whisperer? Or they decided to conjure up Beetlejuice and drive out the new owners?
Sadly the poor Ucar family won’t enjoy any more holidays, welcome any new family members or celebrate any more milestones in this lovely home. And now its ready and waiting for a new family who is willing to overlook the past and create a new future.
Would you be willing to buy a house with a… um… history?
