Roy Condrey founded DiedinHouse.com back in 2012 after his tenant in Irma, South Carolina, complained of ghosts and he started to research the possibility of deaths on the property. Like hiring a private investigator for your home, when Condrey's team isn't working diligently on your home's history, you'll find them featuring America's creepiest murder homes on their Instagram.

Roy Condrey founded DiedinHouse.com in 2013 after he received a very surprising phone call from one of his tenants in Irma, South Carolina. The single mother renting his home had been experiencing paranormal activity ever since moving in. But digging up his home's history proved more challenging than Condrey had ever anticipated. That's when he decided to found DiedinHouse.com - the first of its kind, web-based service that helps you find out if anyone has died at any valid U.S. address.

With 118 million records pertaining to properties in the United States, DiedinHouse.com generates an instant report that collates:

If you could find out if someone died in your house, would you want to know? Founded in 2013 by software engineer Roy Condrey, DiedInHouse.com allows users to search an address to see if it had a dark former life (or even accommodates the afterlife). From murders and suicides to meth activity and arson, DiedInHouse uses data from over 130 million police records, news reports, old death certificates and more to determine if your house has seen horrors.

The website’s creation begins like a ghost story. Three years ago, Condrey received a text message in the middle of the night from one of his tenants that read: “Did you know that your house is haunted?” Condrey went down a cyber rabbit hole seeking, but not finding, an easy way to determine if his property had indeed seen a gruesome crime or fatality.

“I went online to find a ‘Carfax’ of sorts for deaths in homes and I didn’t find anything, but I did find pages and pages of people asking if there’s a way to find out if their house is haunted,” says Condrey, who rents his a number of his properties. He later learned through his data collection that, in fact, at least 4.5 million homes nationwide have had documented deaths take place on the premises. The number of homeowners that know about the history of their home is unknown.

The anxiety of buying a new home can form in any number of ways, and you might find yourself questioning the property you’ve chosen: Is the backyard really that small? Is the soil contaminated from the nasty-looking stream nearby? Did someone die in the house recently?

Here are eight things about your house you may want to know:

Footsteps late at night. Music randomly playing. Lights flickering. Unexplained shadows. True-horror fans might get a thrill out of moving into a house with a haunted past, but others might see it as a nightmare.
