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

• (#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."
• (#2) They Found A Noose In A Secret Room

  An anonymous Redditor shared this story:

  "In my sophomore year of college my friends and I decided that we wanted to rent a house. My mom was handling all of my loans at the time (just the paperwork, not the actual paying of said loans) so she wouldn't let me move in, but I hung out there a lot. We were checking out the house and looked behind this big furnace only to find a door that couldn't be seen from the main walkway and the realtor obviously didn't know about it as she didn't show it to us. We went in and the lights didn't work so we brought a flashlight. As we walk in the room we notice it smells really stuffy and it's pretty apparent that nobody had been in there for a long time. Upon further investigation we find that there is a noose hanging from a 1000 lb weight bracing unit on the ceiling and there were all kinds of things written all over the walls (plus a bunch of old junk that had been thrown in there). We're not sure what happened in the house and nobody knew about the room, so we cut down the noose and never went in that room."
• (#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."
• (#4) Odd Things In An Attic

  This one was contributed by jonny_lube:

  "My current apartment was left with all sorts of freaky [stuff]. When I started renting the place, the previous tenant [passed] after living there for 90 years. I was told by my landlord that upon cleaning out the basement, he came across three casks of prohibition whiskey. Pretty [cool] stuff.

  Once we moved in, my roommate and I continued to explore the place to find other relics of a past era. The main floor was fairly empty, however when we found our way into the attic, we encountered all sorts of bizarre stuff. The attic itself has no electricity. It is dark, cold, and the walls are messes of remnants of peeled paint and mysterious stains from ages ago. One room ... consists of a pair of four-foot-long wire bed frames, an old sewing machine, and what looks like a noose made from pantyhose. In the corner is a dresser with four empty drawers, and one drawer that clearly has something in it, but the knobs have been removed and despite our efforts, we have been unable to pry it open.

  The other room in the attic is a little more on the fun end. Other than a pair of disgusting 1940s couches, there is an old Victrola, newspapers from the 1940s (hilarious) as well as an oddly placed dream catcher hanging from a small, 1.5x3 ft 'closet.'

  All in all, there was a lot of bizarre and interesting things left in the house. The most unexplainable however, showed up a year and a half into my residency. I woke one day only to find scribbled in red on the wall of my bedroom, the word 'Miaau.' Nobody has been able to explain what it means or where it came from. Pretty weird stuff."
• (#13) A Live Rabbit In The Living Room

  A Redditor had this story to tell:

  "A bunny. My son was in kindergarten at the time, and he was at the dinner table having breakfast. I was in the living room watching the news and this little bunny just comes hopping right out of his room. It was definitely a wild bunny. I caught and released the poor guy. I can only assume my cat brought it in through the doggie door as a gift?"
• (#5) Meat Hooks In The Basement

  anthropology_nerd shared this story:

  "My family purchased a 100-year-old house in upstate New Hampshire. The previous owner was a German guy who made his own sausage in the basement and sold it out of the front parlor of the house.

  Imagine, if you will, half a basement that is stone-lined, dark, with a dirt floor and perfectly creepy in its own way. There were massive gaps between hanging light bulbs so you frequently walked/ran in the dark after turning off the lights to go upstairs. Combine this part of the basement with the other half (tucked around a corner under a newer addition to the house) built to sanitation code with white plastic walls, concrete floor, temperature control, a walk in freezer (for some reason with no door handle if you were locked inside), and meat hooks hanging from the ceiling. After the initial exploration, my brother and I never went in the basement."
