house horror stories

One horror story could be about getting food poisoning from their food. I heard a story where a customer ate a meal at Waffle House and then spent the whole night with stomach cramps and vomiting. It was really bad.

I heard a story where in a house share, there was a really noisy roommate. He would play loud music late at night, every night. Not only that, but he also had friends over constantly who were equally noisy. The other housemates couldn't get any proper sleep or study in peace. They tried to talk to him, but he just ignored them and continued his inconsiderate behavior.

One horror story is finding a seemingly perfect house. But when moving in, we realized there was a serious mold problem in the basement that the previous owner had hidden. It cost a fortune to fix.

In some house auctions, there are bidding wars that get out of hand. For example, a couple got so caught up in the heat of the moment during an auction that they bid far more than their budget. They ended up in a lot of debt and financial stress.

There was a case where flippers thought they could easily renovate a historical home. However, they ran into countless regulations and restrictions. They had to redo a lot of the work multiple times to meet the requirements. This led to huge delays and cost overruns, turning what they thought would be a profitable flip into a financial nightmare.

There was a house sitter who noticed that things in the house were being moved around when they were sure no one else was there. At first, they thought they were just misplacing things. But then they saw doors opening and closing on their own. It turned out that there was a problem with the house's old wiring, which was causing electrical surges that made the automated doors malfunction. It was really spooky until they figured it out.

One horror story is when a couple bought a house without a proper inspection. After moving in, they found out the roof was leaking badly. Every time it rained, water would pour into the living room, ruining their furniture. They had to spend a large amount of money on roof repairs right away.

A flipper once bought a house that was supposedly free of any legal issues. However, after starting the flip, it turned out there were unpaid property taxes from years ago. The local government put a lien on the property, and the flipper had to pay a large sum to clear it. This unexpected cost led to a huge financial loss. They also faced delays in selling the property as a result.

Well, a common 'House Hunters Horror Story' is when people move into a new house and then discover there are serious pest problems. For example, a family bought a house only to find out there was a huge rat infestation in the attic that the previous owners had hidden. Also, there are stories of people buying a house near a construction site, thinking it was a temporary inconvenience, but then the construction continued for years, causing noise, dust, and blocked access to their property.

One horror story is when the appraiser undervalued a house significantly because they overlooked recent renovations. The homeowners had put in a new kitchen and bathroom, but the appraiser didn't notice or factor it in. As a result, they got a much lower appraisal value than expected, which caused problems when they were trying to refinance their mortgage.
