Should I move into a haunted Duplex?

[ToxSocks]

So my girlfriend and I have been looking to move into a bigger place for some time now.

A friend of her family owns a ton of real estate in Central San Diego. She has a duplex that was built in 1932 that she wants to rent out badly. It's been abandend for the last 5 years now after a fire took out half of the duplex. The supposedly Haunted half. The Haunted half is NOT physically connected to the other half, they are a few feet apart.

I will be moving into the "not haunted half" of the duplex. The building has been deemed "Historical" by the city of San Diego, and she is now forced to restore the property.

The property has a very good sized front yard that will have new grass planted and a water fountain installed. The Home itself (not the haunted side) has a beautifully remodeled kitchen with a brand new stove, and brand new double doored fridge. It's a nice 2 bedroom unit with 2 hall closets, new tile flooring, new oak cabinets and so forth. It also has washer and dryer hook ups in the back and i'll be allowed to have a dog. It's on a quiet one way street at the top of a hill overlooking the rest of San Diego, about 5 minutes from the Gaslamp District and so forth.

Please keep in mind that a property like this goes for at least 1100+ in San Diego, and rarely can u have pets, and rarely do you get a washer and dryer hook up. If you want a front yard, those properties are usually 2K+. It just doesn't happen on the cheap in San Diego

Because the owner is a friend of the family, i can pay her the deposit whenever I
feel like it. My rent would be $850. Which is killer for this home and location.

The Problem: My Girlfriend claims that the other half of the Duplex is haunted. She lived there with her family as a child, and she claimed that she would see a little boy every once in awhile, just sitting in the corner of her room. She also claims that she would hear the sound of children running up and down the stairs late at night. She swears on her own life that she saw/heard these events.

Recently, her cousin stayed in the haunted side because he had nowhere else to go. He stayed there for two nights and claimed that he would hear children running around the unit playing. He said he would never, ever, go back there again.

So....should i stay there, or should i let a great opportunity pass me by?

Heh, i was in the paranormal thread sharing my wife's story about this home.

Just to update: We never moved here.

But after the remodel/restoration, the property owner moved back into this unit and she died in her sleep there a few months later.

A few months after THAT, the neighbor from across the street would tell us (she was a customer where my wife works) that she would hear loud banging noises coming from that unit as late as 2 am. She thought construction was still occurring inside, but my wife explained to her that construction had finished nearly a year prior, and that no one had lived there since the original owner had passed away there.

Never saw this thread the first time around. Congrats for making the GF into the wife. May have been a different story if you had moved into that place.

I don't **** with things I don't understand.

Hell, I read up on supplements for months before trying them.

If ghosts are real they're dead people. I'm having a good day when I can go 24 hours without pissing off the living - I'm not about to fart around and piss people off who can operate beyond my understanding of time and physics.
