That's very amusing. I have two homes that I need to sell and there were some slight issue with them. One home was owned by two of my cousin that passed away there and soon as you mention it, people back off. The other is my parents home and they died in the home. Same thing.....guess people are really superstitious about those things. Happy Halloween.
These weird Montana ghost stories about deaths happening on a property. Your stories, very timely. We are looking at large Montana acreage with an off-grid cabin or fixer upper home and found a particular property with a nice little cabin in move in condition. Price seemed pretty good and it had an awesome territorial view, but yet this property had been on the market for over a year with a few price reductions. It also had a strange recent history with the current owners very motivated to sell. They had done a ton of work getting it ready to build. Cleared and prepped a building site, installed a septic system, upgraded the well, brought power in and installed the meter pedestal, put in a RV hookup, fixed up the cabin etc etc. But now after all that they wanted to sell after owning the property less than a year? We looked at it several times before I asked my agent why this property hadn’t sold and why the sellers wanted to sell after doing all this work prepping it for construction. She reluctantly recounted the story of the original owner that built the cabin had committed suicide inside that cabin. Apparently he had terminal cancer and decided that the cabin, where he had so many good memories, was where he wanted to end his life. While a bit shocking it wouldn’t have made that big of a difference to me. It was a ghost story alright but it sounded like a happy ghost story. If anything I’d use it as a bargaining chip to negotiate a better price. But my wife who’s Norwegian and extremely superstitious. No Way! So we ended up passing on it.
Good timely stories.
With in-home hospice care these days, dieing at home is probably more common than we realize.
These things sound like parts of a mystery novel, or a horror movie. Cheers, Will!

Completely agree
Love the stories!!
Good afternoon from Lone Grove Oklahoma my friend
Hello!
I remember those two.
Libbie's House, at the Little Big Horn Memorial, the most haunted place in Montana.
I’d want to know if someone died or was murdered in a house I was about to buy.
For sure!
That is a strange law!!
I completely agree with you, it should have to be disclosed if a death occurred in the house, natural or not.
I agree about the law in Montana. Many states do have laws which require the disclosure of such things.
Will, when you started talking about the murder suicide, I heard burger suicide. I thought: How do you do that, he, he?
