Random Unexplainable and Creepy Things People Have Found Inside Their Homes (18 items)

• (#18) Random Toy In The Wall

  According to englishplz:

  "A while ago my parents and I were demolishing the drywall in our house... When we smashed a wall in the living room, an action figure fell out from the inside. It was an action figure of the Batman villain the Riddler. There were so many questions...we had just moved in, and the previous owners didn't seem like the kind to put toys in their walls. It was too perplexing to think about, so we ended up just putting it in a random box somewhere."
• (#7) Is It An Exorcism Kit?

  From YouveBeenDuplicated:

  "Not my house, but my grandmother's ... She [passed] early last year, and I was given the task of clearing out her house for sale. Among a lot of valuable but mundane antiques there was a really worn-out picture of Jesus in a wooden frame, a few inches thick, which I found in her room. Just by chance, I noticed there was a rusty latch on the side. The picture actually opened from the back and revealed a very odd assortment of items: I remember a large wooden cross, vial, rosary, cloth, and spoon (?). The stuff really looked ancient. I knew my grandmother was very religious (went to church every day, house and car filled with religious paraphernalia) so it didn't surprise me. When I showed it to my mother though she had no idea what it was, she'd seen the picture before but never knew it opened up. Personally I like to think it was an exorcism kit or something of the like."
• (#14) Inside The Ceiling

  From noflyzone:

  "A friend of mine bought a house from some old dude that was rumored to have quite the orgy house for many years. He was removing a drop ceiling and a pile of old condoms fell out. Old as in at least 20 years old."
• (#3) Floppy Disks Full Of Adult Entertainment On A Shelf

  Redditor ahardfloppy started things off with this interesting tale:

  "Two or three years ago, I was looking through a bookshelf in a very communal and frequently used part of my parents' house, the house I grew up in.

  I found a few floppy disks, which was weird, because it was the mid '00s. Since we still had a desktop computer with a floppy drive (Dell), I popped them in to see what, if anything, they had on them.

  Yeah, it was porn. Still images of several women spread eagle.

  I'm still trying to figure out if it was my brother or my father who created these anti-floppy floppies. I just don't understand why either of them would have left them out in such an obvious and open place. Anyway, my brother is a Redditor, so maybe he'll see this and fess up.

  TL;DR - Rule 34"
• (#8) A Dangerous Kit In The Crawlspace

  A contribution from Redditor dailydishabille:

  "Shared a house with some friends years ago on the Northeast side of our town.

  We'd lived there for a while but had never really spent much time down in the basement, so we got drunk one night and took a peek around.

  The basement was half-finished and had a dirt crawlspace that started under the far edge of the basement and extended under the porch. My roommate scurries under there with a flashlight and takes a look around. We hear him yell that he's found something and minute or so later he emerges with a black canvas duffel bag clutched in his hand.

  Excitedly we opened the bag and found: two black ski masks, a 4 1/2" hunting knife with a broken handle, and a single black leather glove.

  We debated what to do with our find, and eventually we decided to call police non-emergency and ask if any of their detectives were interested in our find.

  Turned out they weren't, so we burned the bag, the mask and the glove, and I kept the knife.

  Still have it, too."
• (#1) Found In The Old Garage...

  "I was at my grandparents' farm; huge, over 1,000 acres.

  We went to where a house my great great grandparents had lived in was once located. Although the house was gone, there was still a garage.

  I was pretty young, so I looked through a hole in the door and saw a car stamped with 'MER' on it.

  I said 'Dad, it's a Mercedes!' to which he laughed and said 'no, it's probably a Mercury, son.' People out there don't drive German sports cars.

  A week later my dad was on the phone with one of the renters on that land and told him that story.

  Apparently, there wasn't supposed to be a car there, but we had found the door locked or rusted shut.

  The renter goes over with a sheriff, and find a teenager frozen to death in the driver's seat. I'm really glad I couldn't open the door.

  The story we heard from the sheriff was that he had run away from home in the fall (this was late winter/early spring) and he had nowhere to go. It's about as remote as you can get, and he probably found the garage and parked his car there to be hidden. He was apparently covered in blankets, frozen to death probably on the first night, but maybe he came and went a few times. I'm guessing it was unlocked, and then rusted shut? I remember yanking it hard a few times with my dad, but it didn't budge, and whats to see anyway? It's just an old rotting garage, so we gave up.

  I don't think it's that he 'couldn't get out,' but I think he just didn't make it. It's northern Missouri, so on the wrong night, it can get very cold on the plains, and he couldn't run his car for heat, he would have died of carbon monoxide poisoning. Come to think of it, that may have been it? I doubt there was an autopsy.

  The family hadn't known anything for months, so a very sad story, but at least (I?) found the body.

  If I had never made that funny little observation, who knows, it could have been years until someone went to that garage."
