Would any of you have issue with buying a house where grisly murders had taken place? Let's say multiple murders in extremly perverse and twisted ways. Etc..use your imagination. (benoits house for example)

I would buy that house and hang this up on the wall.

Buy it, sell it and say it's been visited by the TLC ghost hunter network and the house appears to be clear of any supernatural spirits.

For those who said you would have no issue, does that go for this house, too? LINK

Not really--never did a background check on any property that I ever rented or bought to see if this kind of thing had ever occurred there.

That said, there is a BIG difference between having a property where a single random domestic dispute-murder occurred and a property where a serial killer had lived. If a serial killer lived there, then people who make documentaries of such killers would be out front filming the house for their documentaries for years to come, knocking on your door at all hours asking for access to your basement to film where alleged torture sessions occurred, etc. Plus, if you were gardening at the house, you might dig up a human bone or something. Definitely not worth all that trouble. The house where John Wayne Gacy lived was torn down after he was arrested, as was the house that the movie The Exorcist was loosely based on. The City of Cleveland just tore down the house where Ariel Castro had kept those three women chained up for a decade.

No, because people out there probably still worship Charlie Manson.

As an investment property probably but not as a residence.

I'd be way too uncomfortable in the house. Not to mention, I don't feel like getting scared by ghosts every night since they're try hards and have nothing else to do. I need to be well rested for work.

The ghost of Chris Benoit could teach you some sweet wrestling moves though.

Speaking of which, why is this motherfricker still alive?

The Cielo Drive home that Sharon Tate was murdered in was torn down years ago.

10050 Cielo Drive

Altobelli moved into the house just three weeks after the murders and resided there for the next 20 years. During an interview on ABC's show 20/20, he said that while living there, he felt "safe, secure, love and beauty."[2] He sold the property for $1.6 million in 1989.[2][6]

The final resident of the original house was the musician Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails. Reznor began renting the house in 1992 and had a recording studio built inside.[7] This studio, dubbed "Pig" (sometimes called "Le Pig") in a reference to murderer Susan Atkins' writing "Pig" in Tate's blood on the front door of the house, was the site of recording sessions for Nine Inch Nails' EP Broken (1992) and album The Downward Spiral (1994), as well as Marilyn Manson's debut album Portrait of an American Family (1994).[7] Reznor moved out of the house in December 1993, later explaining "there was too much history in that house for me to handle."[8]

Reznor made a statement about working in the Tate house during a 1997 interview with Rolling Stone:

While I was working on Downward Spiral, I was living in the house where Sharon Tate was killed. Then one day I met her sister. It was a random thing, just a brief encounter. And she said: 'Are you exploiting my sister's death by living in her house?' For the first time, the whole thing kind of slapped me in the face. I said, 'No, it's just sort of my own interest in American folklore. I'm in this place where a weird part of history occurred.' I guess it never really struck me before, but it did then. She lost her sister from a senseless, ignorant situation that I don't want to support. When she was talking to me, I realized for the first time, 'What if it was my sister?' I thought, 'frick Charlie Manson.' I went home and cried that night. It made me see there's another side to things, you know?[9]

Reznor took the front door of the house with him when he moved out, installing it at Nothing Studios, his new recording studio/record label headquarters in New Orleans.[10] In 1994, the owner demolished the house and replaced it with a new mansion called "Villa Bella", with a new street address of 10066 Cielo Drive. The current owner of the property is Hollywood producer Jeff Franklin. The property today does not resemble the residence in which the Tate murders occurred.[11]

I would not. But when you honestly think about it, at some point just about every property on earth will have some form of negative history tied to its past. But as of now, no. At least not with some form of buy back option if the place turned out to be haunted as shite.
