Of course it wouldn’t be good to buy a house that would cause problem, but the scientific community has concluded that power lines don’t cause these issues: http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs322/en/index.html

It’s just as easy to prove something wrong than to prove it right. By the way Sara is right in that it wouldn’t be good to buy a house close to a place that had hazardous materials for example. This places could not be good for your family’s health

And that the shows that you mentioned are totally faked for entertainment reasons? The way that you reacted is exactly why that type of house is a great deal.

Buying a house for cheap regardless of the potential hazards (especially to your children – ie. demons, spirits, hauntings) is NOT worth it. Watch a few episodes of Paranormal State or Psychic Kids and maybe you’ll change your tune on that particular point – even if you are NOT a believer, the risks are documented and you cannot refute the evidence. Also, houses near power towers are NOT safe and there is probably over a hundred studies showing a higher incidence of brain related disease – including increased or sudden increase in migraines, brain cancer, etc….I just think these two points, in particular are a little naiively presented and should not be so loosely promoted as ‘perfectly safe’ because they’ve been sanctioned. THey’re NOT. They’ve passed a bare minimum.
