In some countries, more and more people are becoming interested in finding out about the history of the house or building they live in. What are the reasons for this? How can people research this?

Behind people's curiosity of knowing the

history

of the

house

they live in is a back

story

, and sometimes it is a horror

story

. The reasons for

this

curiosity are widely ranged, but I will try to share my experience with

this

phenomenon.

First,

the curiosity sometimes grows from a random horror storyteller who shares their haunted

house

story

on a particular platform, Twitter

for instance

.

Then

, as a reader who is so into the

story

, we start to question our

house

's

history

. Apparently, we will ask about it to our parents, our neighbours, or even google it ourselves.

Moreover

, Google now provides a feature on Google Maps where we can look up the condition of our

house

in a particular year we want.

Second,

people research their

house

's

history

because they are triggered when they look at some old photos of their deceased relatives,

such

as grandpas, grandmas, and others, who used to live in their

house

too. Finding out more about the

history

of the building they live in is part of reminiscing the memories they probably have forgotten for a short period of time. Learning about it again might leave us staring at some furniture and thinking about our deceased relatives, "Ah, they used to sit here

while

watching the television".

To conclude

, we find joy in finding out more about the

story

of our

house

. Despite we might find stories about urban legends that had taken place in our

house

, we will

finally

be aware that we have grown up now. Time is indeed cannot be re-rolled but the

history

remains.
