Life Should I move into a haunted Duplex?

Detoxing · 10-24-2009, 09:20 AM

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?

I thought my duplex was haunted when I moved into it. Freaked me out at first but its good now, or at least I'm used to it.

Do it up as long as you can convince her that it is the non-haunted side. Seriously, old houses make noise. They just do. My parents house is a decade or so older, and the shit just makes noise. It's what you get with an old house. If she's gonna spaz about it, walk.

Move into the haunted side, pussy.

My house is like there's is close to 90 years old and it makes the craziest noise at night, espically with tempature changes...

Since, apparently, your girlfriend and family made out alive after living there, what's the problem?

Yeah I re-read your post and realized my mistake.

Detoxing · 10-24-2009, 09:29 AM

I think im going to stay there. Im not sure if i believe in ghosts or not, but i guess im going to find out. One thing i do know, im staying away from the haunted unit. Also, if u saw this place, it looks creepy as **** on the outside. especially the burned side.

Only if the ghost is HAWT.

I've detailed my experience in my friend's haunted house several times over the years. He lived in that house for a couple of years, and since the spirit wasn't malicious (just footsteps and other noises, confined to a single room), he got used to it.

But still.....
