Would you live in a home with a tragic past?

Asked by Shippy (10015points) July 30th, 2012

When I moved into my apartment many years ago, I noticed a tile of some sort, I think it is Catholic not sure, of Jesus carrying a lamb and a child, with the words, bless this home, and all who enter it.

I never removed it, because firstly it would leave a huge hole in the door and secondly it wasn’t a bad sentiment to have particularly if all through your life, you haven’t had a very peaceful home life.

It has got me thinking a couple things. Like for example. If you invite troubled people, or people who are unsavory into your home, does it leave something there, like an atmosphere or a feeling? Many people may laugh at this but may think twice if a person had died in their bedroom, or worse been murdered in the bath tub for example.

Would you buy a home that had many tragedies in it? And if not why not and if you would why would you? I mean what is your thinking. I once saw a documentary about a young woman who died, and was only found three years later. Her TV was still on. All that was left of her was a mass of nothingness seeping into the floor boards. Would you buy that home? For example

The main question here though for me is, then, do you think events, people, or things influence our home space. If they do how do you clear it away. People have remarked that my home has a wonderful peace about it. And often fall asleep here!!
