- It''s very tasteless for the media to call this a haunted house. It makes one think there''s a "Ghost Hunters" theme to this article. The words healing and cleansing should have been used. Those who criticize what they did in the rude posts below? Very sad and disrespectful.

- Everyone deals with their demons the best way they can. It is the American way to rid of things that bring unpleasant memories; very few will think otherwise. If the whole town pitched in, bought the house from the owner and canned it! well..so be it...other writters think of the homeless, I would disagree...how many of those ''homeless'' have full range of motion on upper and lower extremeties and are capable of using a hammer and/or a shovel to earn a living?, but I am moving away from the topic here. I think that the town should build a school in the same spot, to teach and guide new generations if they want to make a difference. Their engaged relationship with their offspring can and will make a difference.

- Not sure what to think .. but understand the reasoning ..
Obviously the kook who murdered all of these folks was a sicko/whacko and was just an evil, vengeful piece of garage ..
But with 300 MILLION peoples in this country alone and adding ... we should expect nothing less .. as we continue to cram the planet with people, surely this kind of mayhem will only manifest itself ...
Seems to go along with many other decisions Americans make .. if we wipe away all the memories .. then maybe the past will just go away ... except for the families of the victims ... who will ALWAYS remember ...
Tearing down the house will only remove the material place where the tragedy occured, not the horror or FACT it did occur
Good luck ... - Reply to this comment
- I live a few towns away from where this happened. The sub title of this article is misleading. No one thinks the house is "haunted". It is just a haunting (disturbing) memory for this small community that lost so many loved ones that gruesome day.

- I think that if people want to buy the house and then destroy it then so be it.They can do with it as they will,and if it makes them feel resolved over the events that ocurred there then ok.its peoples opinons that are allowed and free will that decides...so leave them alone..

- Most homeless people are homeless because they choose to live their lives on public assistance like welfare and WIC, etc. Others are homeless because they have more kids and dogs and cats than they can afford to have. Others are homeless because they overextended themselves to ''keep up with the Joneses.''
I have no sympathy for these people whatsoever. I do have empathy for hard-working people who bothered to have themselves educated who have fallen on hard times not because they had to have thier overpriced mansions, and therefore have chosen to live within their means, but due to corporate or government cuts have lost their jobs. - Reply to this comment
- The town bought the property, they should do with it as they wish, as long as it is within regulation in their area, which seems to be the case.

- I think someone''s been watching Harry Potter on a bit too much ditchweed.
It''s SO much better to destroy a good home, instead of letting a homeless family live there for a time and actually get some benefit.
Unbelievable. - Reply to this comment
- These people are haunted by stupidity.
There''s no such things as ghosts and spirits. Do they burn witches on the side, when nobody''s looking?
Bunch of fools. - Reply to this comment
- Build a permanent memorial, yeah that''ll make everyone forget like tearing the house down does.
