I know this sounds nuts. I have had nightmares about it though and I can't seem to shake the imaginations that I keep coming up with. I've discovered bits and pieces of the history of this house since we've moved in. Mostly from neighbors. My sense of foreboding is that (I know I"m crazy) there's something about the location or house that could cause us trouble, not really the same kind but perhaps something will go wrong. Yeah it's probably just my anxiety about the responsibility of owning a home now. Here's what I've learned about the former owners.

There have been over 3 owners in the past that the neighbors have known and none of them have lived here for over 4 years each. The seller we purchased from was Fanny Mae so we have no direct connection to the last residents. Two days after moving in I came home to a yellow note on the front door. It said that a County Sherriff has been by to serve a supeona. I have received letter for the former resident (and sent them back to the sender) from County Victims Witness protection program, Juvinile rehab something or other, and County Courthouse something or other. It's disconcerting at the very least to see these addresses on my mail until I read the person who they've sent it to and realize it's not me. The neighbors have told me that the last father figure who lived here was in jail up until recently. This is disconcerting and we've made sure that the locks are changed. Not that we SHOULD expect him to return here anyway since he's no longer an owner but who knows with criminals. Apparently the reason he was jailed was because he had molested he teenage daughter who is supposedly now around 18 years old. One of the neighbors said that even though she was here for several months before the last family had to move that she NEVER actually meet the mother who lived here and that the woman always seemed cranky and unfriendly. Who knows what stress she may have been under but still. Yes their problems are theirs not ours but with the multiple previous owners being unable to maintain possession of their home for more than 4 years and then the obvious upset from having government mail in the box or police at the door... I can't help but feel uneasy.

Is there anything you can say to help rid me of the feeling of dread? Perhaps any tips on making sure our family is safe?
