A family moves into a home, and soon strange things start happening: noises at dawn, footsteps upstairs, doors that open and close without explanation. Without much effort, they soon discover that a terrible crime has happened in that place, and so it is haunted.

You certainly remembered one or several horror movie scripts with the same premise, as this is an extremely recurring theme in the horror world. But even if you don't believe in ghosts or haunts, you must confess that there is something bizarre about living in a place where someone has already been murdered. Check out the history of these 9 locations:

1. Found in the basement

Twenty years ago, a shocking crime has remained unsolved: the murder of little JonBenet Ramsey in Boulder, United States. The former Miss Mirim was 6 years old when she was found dead in the basement of her family home, just 8 hours after she was found missing. The girl, who was one of the most famous models in the country, was beaten and strangled, but the motive for the crime is still unknown.

Her home in Colorado was vacant for a long time until it was bought by Carol Schuller Milner. But the new resident did not stay long in the property and put it up for sale for $ 2.3 million in 2011. With no interested buyers, she lowered the price to $ 1.9 million in 2014, but even the discount did not make it. the place was sold.

2. The Camden Ripper House

Anthony Hardy, known as the “Camden Ripper, ” became known by killing three women in his London apartment. Unlike his idol and namesake Jack the Ripper, Anthony was quickly caught while making a fatal mistake: he threw several parts of his victims' bodies in a box near his residence. A beggar, who decided to rummage through the garbage, came across a pair of legs and called the police.

Members were identified as being from Elizabeth Valad, a 29-year-old prostitute, and Bridgette Cathy MacClennan, 34. After the complaint, police found other victims' remains in trash bags behind a bar and in the department where Anthony worked in Camden.

Surprisingly, the apartment where the serial killer lived and made his victims is currently rented.

3. Cannibal of the Beast

Azarias Fontaine is a student at the University of Bradford in England and is looking for a renter for his current apartment. The value? £ 360 per month which is a great price for a property with a large footage. But there is one reason why Azariah wants to get rid of the place so badly: this was the home of Stephen Griffiths, the "Cannibal of the Beast."

Stephen was a young man fascinated by serial murders, so he decided to pursue a master's degree in criminology based on a thesis on 19th century assassins. Nothing much different until the day he decided to put his studies into practice.

The student was accused of killing three prostitutes between 2009 and 2010, but the investigations involve 14 similar cases that may have been authored by Stephen.

Corridor where one of its victims was murdered and dragged

The nickname, given by the press, came with the weaponry used in his crimes: a crossbow, gun-like weapon that shoots arrows. The crimes took place in his apartment, where the bodies were dismembered in the bathroom and taken to the kitchen to be eaten.

Fontaine, the current tenant, says he doesn't care about the dark past, but his mother says she felt a spirit touching her shoulder when she visited him.

4. Murder and commemoration

Tyler Hadley was a troubled young man: extremely introvert and involved with drugs, his relationship with his parents was not good at all. In conversations with his few friends, Tyler reported that he would like to have a party at his house, but his parents wouldn't let him. He even said he would kill them both and then party, as no one had ever done.

One day, the young man set up a Facebook event and invited everyone he knew to a party at his house. He said his parents had traveled and the space was cleared. At dawn his friends began to distrust Tyler's suspicious behavior until one of them found the worst: the bodies of the boy's parents, who had been hammered to death.

The house was bought by a bank now waiting for tenants. Anyone get ready?

5. Problems with the plumbing

Cranley Gardens apartment 23D is in a fantastic location in a leafy area of ​​London, which is a much-desired location and therefore at high prices. The property also has a balcony with a beautiful view to the north side of the city.

Surprisingly, the space is for sale for £ 300, 000, far below other properties in the region. Even so, it seems no one wants to live in the former home of serial killer Dennis Nilsen.

Born in Scotland, Dennis terrorized the region by committing a series of murders and taking the lives of at least 15 men and boys. He lured his victims home by offering alcohol or food, and then killed coldly so that he could enjoy the "company" of the bodies for days.

Finally, he dismembered the bodies and threw them into the toilet, believing that in this way he would easily get rid of the evidence of the crimes. But, perhaps out of confidence, Dennis didn't cut his limbs into small enough pieces, which made the drains in his apartment clogged. Soon the police were called, and the series of murders was discovered.

In Brazil, houses are abandoned for years

It seems even more difficult here for real estate where brutal crimes took place to be inhabited again. Most end up being abandoned and still arouse the curiosity of those who pass by the region.

6. House with flies

On October 31, 2002, the Richthofen couple's eldest daughter opened the family mansion doors for one of the country's most shocking crimes: the brutal murder of their parents. The couple Manfred and Marísia were beaten to the head by Suzane's boyfriend and brother-in-law, the Carnation brothers.

The mansion, valued at $ 2 million, has been abandoned since then, and the neighbors took turns taking care of the facade of the property, which has been stained with insults to Suzane. Only in 2014, the residence was finally sold and renovated.

7. Thirty one years of abandonment

For over three decades, this townhouse located at José Vieira Netto Leme Street, in Vila Santa Catarina, São Paulo, remains abandoned. He was the scene of a slaughter when 18-year-old Roberto Agostinho Peukert killed his 46-year-old father, his 42-year-old mother, his 16-year-old sister Cristina, and his brothers, Paulo, 17, and André, 8, with shots and stab blows.

A couple even rented the property, but stayed briefly when the man claimed to have seen Roberto, the cause of the tragedy, passing in front of the house. However, Roberto is in Progressive Dismissal regime at Franco da Rocha II Hospital of Custody and Psychiatric Treatment, where he has been since the crime.

8. Search for privacy

The apartment from which little Isabella Nardoni was thrown out the window by her father and stepmother already has new residents. On the sixth floor of the London Building in Sao Paulo, a couple tries to lead a normal life in the place that was featured in the media on March 29, 2008.

Due to the episode, the property was sold just 5 years later and for $ 470, 000, less than the $ 600, 000 worth.

9. Murder and suicide in the bedroom

Renato Ventura Ribeiro, a law professor, was found dead at home, hugged by his son, Luís Renato, just 5 years old. He would be unhappy with the court decision, which would give custody of the child to the mother.

At the end of the 2009 Tiradentes holiday, the two were found in bed, in an advanced state of decomposition, by the teacher's maid. The child had a gunshot wound to the back of the neck and the teacher to the forehead.

Only 4 years later, in 2013, was the real estate agent responsible for the property got a tenant. The resident lives alone in the apartment which has three bedrooms and a total of 96 m².
