This App Tells You If Someone Died in Your House

A new app promises to tell you whether someone died in a house before you buy it.

DiedInHouse.com will search for murders, suicides, suspicious or natural deaths that occurred at a particular address, as well as meth lab activity or fires, starting at $11.99 for a single search. Just in case you feel like being worried about ghosts and such.

The database has 4.5 million houses in it so far, according to Bloomberg Business, and customers have bought 30,000 house searches.

Most people would want to know if someone had been murdered in a house they’re about to buy, but many states have lax laws about disclosing deaths and crimes to future buyers. Pennsylvania and Massachusetts law don’t require disclosure of former crimes on the property, and Massachusetts law even says that “alleged supernatural phenomenon” don’t need to be disclosed in a real estate transaction. By contrast, South Dakota and Alaska require would-be buyers to be appraised of any murders or suicides on the property in the last 12 months, according to Bloomberg.

In some high-profile cases, addresses are changed to conceal the morbid history of a home.
