How do you find out if someone died in your house before you lived here?

You can go to the city records department and do a property search and /or see if the "neighborhood" real estate board has a listing of the previous owner. You could also see where any mail is being forwarded too and ask that very question. Ask the surrounding neighbors, shop keepers ect,ect. Good luck

You might also try the local library or newspaper archives cross- referencing local newspaper stories with your street name (though it maybe a long haul here). You could write to the Officer in Charge of local police. If he is a friendly type he might help. Editors too sometimes can be helpful.
Another way that may yield results is to perform title research at the local land records office. The staff will show you how to trace your property back in time through deeds of ownership. Note down all the information for each transfer (grantor, grantee, date of transfer, book and page reference, any statements regarding death of an owner) and a pattern will form. You may be able to trace the property back to the first owners of the house. Then, review your notes for any references to deaths of owners.
For each deed transfer it's easy to compare who received the property by deed and then who signed the deed when the property was sold. If you come across any owners who died you can check the dates in the town clerk's office for a record of death. That record may tell you if the decedent died at home. Of course, that method will not reveal any non-owner's who died in the house such as an elderly parent who lived in the house, or a child. Full scale research that answers what you want to know can be extremely time consuming and costly. Some people hire professionals to do it, people who know all the different areas that can be checked and know also how to document the results
Alternatively, if you do not need factual documentation and are interested in the paranormal, you may consider consulting with a medium. However such people who can be accurate are hard to come by.
