That is exactly what I'm waiting for. Hookers behind the heater would be the least of it. The week we moved in we found an old suicide note that was never sent by the boy who lived there (he's my age with 3 kids and just fine, thank you). That should have told me everything. I never wanted to move into the house to begin with, but what WON'T I do for family harmony? The neighborhood is great, though. Kelsey and Anne, I too am stuck in memories when it comes to my old houses, so I somewhat feel for our previous owner. My sister and I drove by the last house we lived in before our parents divorced and they were doing major reconstruction and we were all, "You've completely fucked up our last good childhood memories! Way to go new sucky owners!" And then we drove away and had ice cream. Notaclue…you hit the nail on the head! That is exactly what I’m waiting for. Hookers behind the heater would be the least of it.

I am a first-time homeowner, and like ibeejd, I just went through the other side of this about two years ago. I did feel the souls and lives of the people living in the occupied homes I toured, and tried to treat them as respectfully as possible. Like Rose, my house's former (and until me, only) owner asked if she could come and visit sometime, but so far she never has, although if she does, I'll welcome her and hope I haven't trampled her soul out of it in the process of adding my own. Notaclue, I loved your response about Rose's prior owner's repeated returns to the scene of God only knows what. Rose, if he keeps coming back, hit him up for repairs as things deteriorate -- treat him like the landlord if he keeps acting like one. Kelsey, your "rant" really hit home with me. I am a rootsie kind of person who got stuck in a vagabond life, and we lived in two homes that caused me to feel the same way you describe about your special home. The last one of those, we left in 1970, and there are still times in my sleep when I'm transported back there or dreaming that we have all moved back into it. I've seen both homes many times over the years, although not inside, and still I find myself nostalgic for them, even though reality rears its ugly head and yells, "GET OVER IT!" Somehow I never really do. Anne Untitled, this is a great post. I am a first-time homeowner, and like ibeejd, I just went through the other side of this about two years ago.

We moved around a couple of times because of my dad's job but me, my sister and my mom moved to our house now (my dad moved back to New York) because of parents' divorce. I cried forever the day we left. My bedroom was perfect. It had two closets, a balcony and a window over-looking the front yard, with a built in window seat that opened up and you could put things in it. A bunch of my friends lived around the old house and I cried the last time I saw it: the lady and her daughter that live there now out these ugly curtains in front of the beautiful multi-story windows that look into the back yard and the big old tree with the rope swing hanging down. I could see into my ex-window and they had taken down the colorful beaded curtain that my mom and I spent a whole summer making together on our back porch. All of my mom's plants in the front yard that she had spent 3 years nurturing were dead. I haven't been back in 2 years. Untitled, I hope that doesn't happen to you and your house.

I am on the other side of this....you know...the one in the payless knockoffs! We have traveled through a lot of houses and sometimes I do feel that chill in the garage doorway where the current owner found out her husband was cheating....or the warmth in the upstairs bedroom that was once used as their 27 yr old sons nursery. I hear the laughter in the backyard and I smell the fire in the fireplace on a cold winter night. We have not been so lucky as to find a house yet.....maybe we are trying to hard to find a home that we think will have our soul already rather then one that speaks to us...... I wish you luck!!! Interesting post.

What is wrong with me? If anyone can slap me from where you are, please try, I need help.

Hope you get the asking price and make many new wonderful memories in your new home. It’s strange how a house, a lifeless thing can acquire “soul”.

Good luck! P.S. Please don't be like the people we bought this pile from...he keeps showing up every once in awhile just to let us know he's "still keeping an eye on his homestead" (after 5 years). Creepy! Totally agree with V-Grrrl…this evokes many tender moments while still capturing the angst of selling a home.

Good luck!
