How can I find out if anyone died in my apartment?

Question

I swear myself and my neighbors have heard and seen things that kinda freak me, but now my 7 yr old is hearing the same things that I haven't mentioned to her!
Anyway to search on the internet. I figure it would be easier in a house, but hopefully I can find out something for an apartment.

It's a huge complex so people come and go all the time out of these places. It's hard to find a neighbor that has actually been here for a long time.

Answer 1

Dear CRAZYGIRL,

I know many people may tell you that you need either psychological or psychiatric help. Others will tell you that you're hallucinating or taking drugs. But I believe you may be experiencing what you're referring here.

When I was kid I used to hold direct communications with entities that were channeled through what you call a medium. They frightened me, tried to control my life, and finally threatened to kill me if I told anyone about my communications with them. So, I know what you're talking about.

I know we have been indoctrinated by Hollywood to believe in reincarnation and life-afterdeath. So, for many it is so natural to just accept the possibility of disembodied ones trying to communicate with us. But if you go to the ONLY source of credible explenations about life-afterdeath (the Bible), you'll notice that it doesn't endorse such theories. According to the Bible when you die you're resting ("sleeping"). Even the word cemetery comes from the greek word "koemeterium" which means "sleeping-room". Even Jesus himself, when he went to resurrect his friend Lazarus, he told his disciples that Lazarus was sleeping. Meaning: Jesus taught with that that the state of those who are laid in the grave is one of unconciousnes.

In the book of Ecclessiastes, chapter 9 and verse 5 and 6, you read that those who die are not transported to another place, a ethereal realm, living conscious of their existence. The word death has the same root as annihilation or destruction. Otherwise, the resurrection concept would not have any validity. If when you die you go either to heaven or hell, then the judgment day has no meaning, and the resurrection of real dead bodies into a higher divine matter has not validation. The idea of life-afterdeath is one that has been patronized and endorsed only by pagan cultures and religions, and was sadly adopted by Christianity after the second century AD.

Having said all this, then the logical question remains: If those who are scaring and bothering you in your house are not real dead people, who are them then? The Bible talks about the dual reality all we are inmersed in: a material world existing concommitantily with a spiritual one, and right now. We're not alone! There are entities representing God, and others his Archi-adversary.

We're engaged--wether we believe in it or not--in a spiritual battle of deep consequences. You're dealing with evil angels that the Bible call demons or "enemies".

I will strongly advice you that before you do anything awkward or just out of emotions, you give a serious reading to this very short but timely inspiring ebook: http://www.bibleplus.org/books/Roger%20Morneau's%20Trip%20into%20the%20Supernatural.pdf

Read it and pray, and feel free to talk to your best Friend--Jesus Christ--who will not leave you alone to fight these powerful beings, and who will always defend your cause as long as you trust him your life and all you are with childish faith.

Good luck! :)

Answer 2

See this is my problem. We have lived here in this apartment for almost 10 years now.

The second year we were here, the downstairs neighbor died in her apartment of cancer.

Now we've seen people come, and we seen people go (real fast) from that apartment ever since. We've seen and heard things on the stairs and in the hallway outside that door.

Several times since she died I've even seen what I thought was my teenaged daughter walking past my bedroom door and down the hallway, but when I call her name, my ACTUAL daughter comes to see what I want from a completely different direction and room. This has happened maybe two or three times a year since the woman downstairs died. We just try to ignore it.

Can we tell anyone who is looking at that apartment and thinking about renting it?
NO.

Can we tell anyone about it even AFTER they rent it?
NO.

Why not? Because that's illegal, it may impact on rental income for the owners, and WE would be liable for it, they could sue us.

So, we just keep watching people move in, stay a few weeks, and move right back out.

You could TRY asking any neighbors if they've known of any deaths there, but don't count on getting any answer even if someone has been there a long time and would know.

On the other hand, the laws in your state may be different. A friend of mine in Los Angeles moved into an apartment that became vacant after the male half of an elderly couple died inside the apartment, and the landlord DID tell him about it before he rented it. He still rented it anyway.

Also you could check city records to find out if maybe your place is on top of an old graveyard that was maybe moved or something when they built the place you live in.

Answer 3

I would start by asking the landlord. If that gets you nowhere, check out the local newspaper. They used to keep old newspapers in a department they called "the morgue," appropriately enough. But nowadays there is probably a computerized equivalent. If that doesn't work, try researching who lived there in the last few years, and check the county records for their names under "death certificates." I suppose voter registration records might tell you who lived there, but frankly, that's the weak link as far as I can see. Maybe there's a reverse directory look-up, or perhaps your town or county keeps occupancy certificates. Some do. Every time a person moves into an apartment in University City, for example, they must have an occupancy certificate to be sure no zoning laws are being violated.

Good luck!

Answer 4

Get a No Cost Background Check Scan at https://biturl.im/aUNcv

Its a sensible way to start. The site allows you to do a no cost scan simply to find out if any sort of data is in existence. A smaller analysis is done without cost. To get a detailed report its a modest payment.

You may not realize how many good reasons there are to try and find out more about the people around you. After all, whether you're talking about new friends, employees, doctors, caretakers for elderly family members, or even significant others, you, as a citizen, have a right to know whether the people you surround yourself with are who they say they are. This goes double in any situation that involves your children, which not only includes teachers and babysitters, but also scout masters, little league coaches and others. Bottom line, if you want to find out more about someone, you should perform a background check.

Answer 5

Talk to your landlord if s/he is open to discussing that sort of thing. Just ask for a little background on the building, and if you don't meet any resistance, you can see if they'll talk about someone dying in the apartment.

Or ask your neighbors. Usually there's someone in the building or nearby who's been there for awhile and knows the history of the place.

If that doesn't work, go to your local newspaper or library and do a search for your apartment complex. Start at the reference desk of the library or ask the archivist at the newspaper. They can give you some tips on locating the history of your building.

Answer 6

You need to ask the owner if he knows the building's history. Also try to ask any people in the neighbourhood who have lived in the area of your building if they know of any horriffic events in regards to the building. You can also search public death records.

If things really bother that much, you can always get a local priest in to "cleanse and bless" the place. If only for your own peace of mind.

Answer 7

look up some local town history. any freak fires or interesting deaths that have happen in your area that have a connection to your apartment complex. go through city records and old newspapers at the library. just type in your town name and city records.

Answer 8

Go to the police department. I dont know if they'll tell you anything though. But, something may have happened on the land long before you apartment complex was there.

Answer 9

Don't know what you've seen and heard, but I'd look for a more corporeal answer...like air in the pipes...mice in the walls or a bird that's nested in a gap in the wall.

Now, if you've heard audible voices and seen aparitions?...Move.

Answer 10

If you're in a smaller town, try the county courthouse or the Registrar of Deeds.
