Buying a new house is a big deal. Unless you had it built yourself, there have likely been plenty of previous owners. Who knows what they got up to.
I live in an old apartment in Chicago, and every once in a while, I wonder who lived here before I did. I don’t think about it too much, though, because I don’t want to end up being creeped out.
These people got more than they bargained for when they moved into their new homes.
