Our homes are meant to be our safe spaces, where we unwind after a long day, eat, sleep, and take shelter from the chaos of the outside world. We make them our own and naturally assume we know every corner.
But for these people, that sense of comfort was shaken. One day, they stumbled upon something deeply disturbing hidden within their homes—so unsettling, they felt compelled to share it online.

I Was Looking For Something In The Attic When I Found This
Cee Cee 8 months ago (edited)
Lucky you. Bats are great for getting rid of nasty biting insects. Here in the UK most bats are protected and you can't interfere with them without specialist guidance. Building/demolition projects will be delayed if the bat surveys find signs of bat occupation.

You will have trouble with bat guano, it's not good for your home. You'll need a removal specialist because bats are rightly protected by law. They will recommend where to put bat houses so you keep the benefits of bats, and will install bat exclusion devices to keep them from reentering. The excluders must not k**l nursing bat pups, so must be installed before pupping season, (summer months) or before hibernation begins.
Bad Alchemy 8 months ago
Bats are a lovely and vital part of a healthy biosphere. However, it is not healthy for them to be in your attic. Their droppings are highly acidic, will damage your flooring, and can contain microbes that are not a friendly addition to human lungs. It is best to seek out a reputable wild animal rescue/migration company to help move them someplace good for them and the humans. Bat boxes on or near your property would be an excellent way to help them stay safe and get the benefit of their environmental caretaking.
Peter Bear 8 months ago
That is awesome! If you don't want them in your house, build some bat boxes outside for them. They're great at natural pest control.

Footprint Found On Wall
My house is a poor man’s Victorian, it was built in 1893 and once or twice a year for the last 6 years I’ve lived here I magic erase the door frames, switches, windowsills during a seasonal deep clean.
Last October I was deep cleaning my home and noticed a footprint about 8’ up the wall under the attic. I remembered my partner had been doing some attic work in spring and figured it must’ve been left over from that. When he came home I asked him to wipe it up, since it was pretty inconsiderate to leave for 6+ months without offering as he’s usually pretty meticulous.
“Hey can you wipe that footprint off the wall above your office?”
He looked at me confused, “What footprint?”
I walked him up the stairs and pointed it out and he looked at it and back at me and flatly said “Why would I have been in the attic without shoes?” Which is a very him response, as he’s very stoic and exceptionally more prepared for anything that I am.
He goes “Are you pranking me?”
I wasn’t. We have no clue where the footprint came from or why it would be bare 7’ up.

Even if someone used a bunch of old hair (probably from a vacuum cleaner) to cast a spell on someone else, that spell would be limited to the intended victim. In the realm of magic, one cannot cast a spell or curse to affect the whole world.

This 15 Year Old Stash Of Canned Food I Found In My Crawl Space From The House’s Previous Owner

You are more likely to get a listeria infection from packaged salad than canned food because the latter is usually pasteurized, which kills the bacteria. I guess you're thinking of botulism. Now that is really worrisome because you can't see, smell, or taste a difference in the food itself, the only warning sign is gas buildup in the can that makes it bulge, but not always. If there is gas escaping from the can when opening, that's a sign to toss it.

Found Under My Friends House. Any Idea What Kind Of Bone It Is?
Thorsten Massow 8 months ago
Looks like about 15 cm long (6 in). The scale can be the bricks of the wall. The bone looks rather sturdy for the length. Since the shape looks like a femur, I would assume it is an animal like a pig.

Needs banana for scale. Sorry, I'll see myself out.

Femurs are all curves- this lively thing has a flared bottom.. like a tibia? The top is throwing me but that seems like the best fit. The tibua has flared ends and acts like a column- most other long bones have rounded ends to slide in joints

Found A Creepy Message In Basement
We moved to this 100 year old house last year and I just noticed this message written on one of the floor joists in the corner of the unfinished part of the basement. Not sure what to make of it.
Rafael 8 months ago
There's a recent hole drilled in a structural part. The person that did it probably knew better, but someone pressured him/her to do it anyways.
Verena 8 months ago
Weirdly enough, holes can enhance the strength of a beam/joist. Iirc, it is 30 years ago and the most hated topic when studying civil engineering, it gets stronger because you have to factor in less of its own weight. Steel frame construction of bridges or roof supports of huge halls are an everyday example, plus they take advantage of the triangulars

Horseshoe underneath. Shown upside down which suspicious people tell you the luck drains out, but it's just a chalk drawing of a thing that goes on horse's feet.

There’s two schools of thought on horseshoes, I’d agree with you but some people think that if it’s the other way round the devil/fairies can sit in it so maybe it is lucky to the person who drew it🤷🏼♀️

If it's on the back wall of the garage, I think it's a comment on somebody's parking skills.

Used to be used instead of toilet paper, not that these look used. Probably just a 'convenient' place to throw them since they are organic matter.

Firestarters! Or they had an extra-good harvest that year, and couldn't figure out where to store the overflow. Those kernels may still be viable -- in that case, a history group would be thrilled to have them.

Corncobs not corn. I was thinking 150 corn kernals when I read heading.

Wooden Panel Moved Again
Moved into this place 9 months ago. Maybe 3 months ago I noticed this wooden panel in my closet ajar. We checked, nothing up there unusual. Well we didn't actually enter but I took a quick video with the flash on. Well it was open again this morning. I do toss my clothes up into my closet but the panel is slide to the left not pushed back in the direction I throw my clothes.

OP: "Would be edit: I can't edit this post and I don't want to spam a new one so hopefully people find this. Theories so far 1)a frogger or whatever. Very unlikely they would probably die from the heat. 2) animals. Fairly likely but no evidence of any animals. No food gone, no droppings, no noice. Also we love in Tokyo much less likely for a raccoon to manage to get in our house 3) ghosts, most probable, I had ghost dreams the first few months 4) air current. Very probable.. however we live in a Japanese style building it's very drafty so that's not so much pressure as wind wiping through our place when we open all the windows. This will slam doors just not sure how it slids our panel to the left and only twice in 9 months. After my husband wakes up, we will slam some doors and play with air flow and see what we can do. Will probably tape it shut later"

Bought My First Home A Couple Weeks Ago. Never Checked Out The Attic Until The Other Night. This Was The Only Thing In It
Huddo's sister 8 months ago
I wasn't able to see inside the granny flat on the property I bought because it was being rented and the renter didn't give us access. I was supposed to see it one day, but the guy said at the last minute that he had to work and couldn't let us in. It was also during covid so scheduling was tough anyway, so I decided it didn't matter. I don't think I would have bought the place if I had seen inside, because the place was foul. The guy (who had a intellectual disability) had smoked inside so there were nicotine stains over all the walls and windows. He also had a cat who he obviously didn't clean up after very well. I had to remove all the carpets because p**s had ruined them. I still haven't cleaned the oven because I couldn't stomach it (as I live in the main house I don't need to use it).

Notes In My Crawl Space
Outside of our little crawl space door, someone wrote "hi, Rudy!" on the wall. My husband and I regularly joke about living with Rudy. Like when my husband leaves the cabinet doors open or forgets his glass of milk inside the pantry for me to find in the morning and so on, we blame Rudy.
Today a plumber came by and had to go in the crawl space (which I am too much of a baby to enter myself) and he took pics to show me the pipes, totally ignoring these weird notes that were pinned to the walls!!

My biggest regret is when we remodelled our kitchen a few years ago and there was a waste space in the corner that is inaccessible that I didn’t leave something creepy in there for the next folks to find when they redo the kitchen. Wasted opportunity. Darn it.

In our old house, the previous owners wrote on the door to a crawl space..."Do not leave open." And underneath another word we could never understand. We told ourselves it said 'condensation' but we never really knew.

I had a very religious coworker. We worked in an art gallery in a building from the 1880s. He was based in the basement (the art studio, storage, all of our shipping materials, etc... were there). So the basement was a little creepy to begin with just having uneven floors, stone walls, rumors about it supposedly have been used as a morgue after a mining disaster. He would hide pictures of Jesus in random places for ??? reasons? To be fair, we did have a ghost but it was harmless. I was more creeped out by finding Jesus staring down at me from places like in between the beams in a dark corner that required a flashlight to navigate.
