In some parts of the world, this is part of home construction. The bones of the ancestors were placed in the walls to bring good fortune to the home owners. Hence the phrase "This house has good bones".
Oddly, this probably wouldn't bother me so much but I'd still sue the sellers for not disclosing it. LOL! I can just see the response now: "Yeah, we killed her 10 years ago, so it was outside the disclosure timeline."
I've had investors buy homes where we expected to find something buried in a wall though. Never have yet though. Not like "Flipping Vegas" where they found cash and guns hidden in a safe in the attic.

This isn't a "worst" story but I had clients who found a sword from the War of 1812 in their wall ! Pretty cool find considering you could see the enemy just across the water, LOL

Had a sale last year where it was known prior to purchase that "the body" has never been found. Our guy said he wouldn't go looking too hard after possession.

Nothing like that. Worse thing is a seller leaving lots of unwanted crap behind. In all cases seller was required to remove it before we closed.

Hi Fred... now that is an awful story to say the least. Welcome home! (And I mean that sarcastically.) Nothing like this has happened to any home I've ever sold and in fact can't think of anything significant.

Fred that it absolutely terrible. I can't imagine......
The one thing that stands out is in the garage a home our buyers bought there was a suped up, very expensive 4 wheel drive vehicle with no wheels - up on bars. The police were called and sure enough it was a stolen vehicheol.

I live in Houston and that was a pretty shocking story. I think all my clients ever found was some marijuana and they wouldn't tell me if they kept it, threw it away or smoked it.

I can think of nothing.
The usual odds and ins or the closet not emptied.
I make them disappear before the new owner has distress.
