I went through the same thing....
city hall
city records office
library
the old people who still live in the neighbourhood
local museum
If it's really old try digging up the back yard and see who you find!

When you purchased your home you may have received an "abstract of title". This depends on what part of the country you are from and how long ago your home was purchased. Abstracts will list each previous owner. As the home changed hands the abstract would have been updated by each new owner as a part of their purchase paperwork. If you are unsure about your paperwork, you can contact a local realtor and ask them where records of this type would be recorded in your area. Good luck!

You could try talking to neighbors who have lived in the area longer than you; also go to the courthouse and find out the names of the previous owners. Then you can follow up on the previous owners.

Definitely Country Clerk's Office and/or the local City Hall with the Housing Records. Also, check w/neighbors about odd reports, they'd know best and yes this is assuming you can trackdown the original neighbors b/c people move around. All in all if there was a dead, murder or suicide the city would have it on record. Now you got to do the legwork and research it all... have fun.

well if you live in a small town then the sheriff might know or one of the shop owners also try asking your nieghbors and if thier are spirits it means someone probably died in that house or someone who lived in that house died try going to the library and looking up obituaries maybe after you find the previous owners names also whoever you bought it from might be of help

Many town or city halls have records of previous owners. Around here, we call the person to see in town hall the town or city clerk.

look around in crannys,nooks and old areas,for artifacts(don't put holes in the walls,tell your folks what you' re doing.ask parents to sign up on a search engine for the pertinent property records,they can subscribe for 30 or 50 bucks for 6 or 9 mos. if you find a name you might get a hold of relatives or descendants.

Actually, you should have all the previous owners listed on your deed. If not, County clerk or Tax bureau should know.

how old are you if you are 15 and younger you'll be able to see the spirits. Check the house number and researche it on the computer.

Your local library should have an archieve section or the courthouse will have records of deeds. Look there.
