50 Times People Were So Freaked Out By Something They Discovered After Moving Into A New Home, They Just Had To Find Comfort Online (New Pics)
Moving into a new home is always the start of a new chapter. You might be relocating to a completely different city or part of the country, beginning a new job and suddenly trying to make new friends and connections. But when you start this new chapter, you might want to hope that whoever wrote it wasn’t someone like Stephen King. There’s a reason why moving into a new house is the premise of so many horror films…
Below, we’ve gathered photos of some of the creepiest and most disturbing things people have discovered in their new homes, houses they have rented and homes they have considered buying. Many of these pics are inexplicable, but they might still send a chill down your spine. Keep reading to also find an interview we were lucky enough to receive from author and host of the American Hauntings podcast, Troy Taylor, to hear his thoughts on what moving into a creepy house might mean.
Be sure to upvote the photos that would send you running out of the house or rushing to re-list the property, and feel free to share any of your own personal stories in the comments, if you’ve ever stumbled upon frightening things in your home. Then if you’re interested in checking out even more of these spooky photos that could inspire a thrilling horror movie, you can find Bored Panda’s last article on the same topic right here.

John Wayne Gacy Did Construction For My Grandparents And We Found His Business Card While Going Through Some Stuff Today

If you didn’t know, John Wayne Gacy, aka The Killer Clown, was a serial killer/rapist with over 30 victims, the majority young boys. His tactics were often dressing up as clowns for children’s hospitals or charities, before tricking them into handcuffs for a ‘magic trick’. He buried victims around his house and did awful things to them, google it if you like the gory details.

1st thought: I bet it can be auctioned. 2nd thought: the little drawing in the corner: "let me show you the house! I'll love to have you as my... guest."
I’m currently reading Pet Sematary, and although I’m only about one tenth into the story, I know that the family moving into this new house can’t mean anything good. Thankfully, I’ve never experienced anything spooky or paranormal in any of the homes I’ve ever lived in or rented, but clearly, many other people have discovered disturbing things. They might mean nothing, but the simple fact that there was a pentagram carved into my attic or a lineup of naked mannequins in the basement would be enough to give me the heebie-jeebies.
I was curious how likely it is that any of these homes are actually haunted. We see portrayals of ghosts and hauntings in films all the time, but are they really as common as Hollywood has led me to believe? To answer this question, I reached out to Troy Taylor, author and host of the American Hauntings podcast. We asked Troy if it is common for people to move into haunted houses or if it’s more likely just paranoia when new homeowners suspect something is up. “It can certainly be both,” Troy told Bored Panda. “We are always thrown off a bit by anything new, especially a place where you have never stayed, and yet you’re now expected to sleep, eat, and live there. It’s new, and it can be unnerving.”

But Troy notes that we can’t always rule out the fact that our house might be telling us something. “From the other side of it, every house has a past, even relatively new ones,” he says. “It doesn’t have to have been a place where deaths occurred, or murders were covered up – nothing that dramatic. The residents of that home leave a little bit of themselves behind, both physically and psychologically.”
“Have you ever visited someone’s home just after an argument has taken place? There’s just something in the atmosphere that feels ‘off’. Now, imagine a century or so of that kind of thing taking place in a home, and you have what some would consider a ‘haunted house’, even if there aren’t any spirits present,” Troy explained.

We then asked Troy if a homeowner should be concerned if they suspect that their home may be haunted. “First, let me say that genuine haunted houses are somewhat rare,” he noted. “No matter how odd things might seem, there’s a good chance they have a natural explanation. Determining this is the first thing you should do. Relax and be a good observer, even if you are frightened by what you think is happening.”
“Are those ‘ghostly footsteps’ simply the house settling or the floorboards creaking? Is that ‘cold chill’ merely a draft? Maybe these events have explanations, or maybe they don’t,” Troy told Bored Panda. “Just don’t let your imagination run away with you or soon, every bump in the night will be a vengeful spirit and every curtain that moves in the wind will be an apparition.”

Back in the late 80s, I worked in Admin at an ammunition plant. Years later, one of the men who worked in security out there was arrested for trying to sell a grenade. He'd stolen it like 25 years previously. He had a life grenade for that long plus waited all that time and then sold it to an undercover agent. Like geez. And it was like all the people you read about who do these things. He was quiet, super nice and very unassuming. I'd known him most of my life and I would NEVER have guessed in a million years that he'd have done this.
And when it comes to what homeowners should do if they are really concerned that something may be up in their home, Troy says, “The best way to rule out any kind of natural explanation is to keep a journal of anything that occurs in the house that you think might be spook-related.”
“Write down whatever you see, hear, or even smell that seems odd and you just might see a pattern emerge – a ghostly or non-ghostly one. Write down the time and date, make a note of who was present, and describe what you experienced,” Troy told Bored Panda. “It might turn out that the strangeness happens at the same time every day or in the same location. This will be valuable information if you decide to involve a ghost hunter in your situation.”

We then asked Troy at what point he would recommend that homeowners involve a ghost hunter or outside help to feel more peace at home. “Before inviting ghost hunters, ministers, or priests to your home because you believe you have a ghost, consider that in almost every case, ghosts don’t hurt people,” Troy said. “Spirits usually linger at places where they left some unfinished business in life. They can be unsettling but are very rarely dangerous. In most cases, simply asking a ghost to leave your home or making a deal with it not to bother you will generally work. You’ll feel silly doing it, but it’s worth the effort.” Good manners can go a long way in life, even with ghosts.

Troy also says to be wary who you invite into your home in search of ghosts. “If you do contact ghost hunters, make sure they are legitimate,” Troy says. “Ask for references and ask for qualifications. Make sure their knowledge doesn’t come from watching television shows and wearing matching black t-shirts. You are allowing them into your home so be sure you know what you’re getting into with an investigation. They are not coming in to be ‘ghostbusters’. They are merely trying to verify – or debunk – what you believe about your haunted house. They should never ask for money to do an investigation. If they do, run away quickly!”

I Also Had Military Ordnance Hidden In My House
I bought the house in April, 2005. Three months later, I was considering running a new cable TV drop. So I grabbed a flashlight and went to a closet in the basement where I was considering drilling the hole for the cable when I noticed something shiny behind a random and oddly placed small section of peg board. I pulled the peg board back and noticed 3 silver cylinders a little bigger than a cigar. I took one and read the label. To my amusement, they were military issue parachute flares that I assumed were used in Vietnam. It wasn’t until then that I noticed the much bigger black cylinder. I am not a military man, but I know what Comp B is! So naturally, I freaked out. I rounded up the family, told my wife to take them to Grandma’s. I called the police and explained the situation and the officer that answered seemed a bit amused by my story, he told me to hold on while he spoke to his colleague and I heard him say: “I want to go, I gotta see this”. So the police show up, I took them to the basement, they took one look at the ordnance and decided it was best to stay outside. They contacted Selfridge Air Force base (I live in SE Michigan) and while they waited, they were discussing possibly evacuating some of my neighbors (who I hadn’t even met yet) and closing the entire block. At this point, there are about 3 police cars in front of my house and the neighbors are getting curious. It is 11 PM on a Thursday and every neighbor within 10 houses is on their porch. It was then, that 3 black unmarked Suburbans with US Government plates pull up to my house. Needless to say, at this point almost every neighbor on the block was outside, trying to figure out what was happening. After all, we were the new unknown neighbors who kept to ourselves. So the military took the mortar and the parachute flares. They checked the rest of the basement and found nothing, then left. The house was built in 1970, I assume the mortar and flares had been there since the 1st owner.

And just think of the stories you’ll have to tell your grandchildren!”

This is a very cheaply made, almost "tacky" gravestone. The dates are those stick - on numbers you buy at the hardward store. The letters aren't engraved but look like the ones you push into wet cement to make garden stones out of with your kid's handprint. There's an Alberta Perkins born in 1900 who was in a Louisiana insane asylum on the 1930 census (Ancestry.com) This may or may mot be her, and if it is it'd explain the cheap stone. Possibly family got her a nice one and she was relocated. Old stones are donated to the church or city if they can and use them as foundations to build barns, animal sheds, or grain storage like old corn cribs. Ive seen them used in Lake Michigan as part of the massive stones and construction debris used as breakwaters along the shore to fight erosion

Found A Hidden Room In My New House Today
So today my family hosted a home welcoming party. While we were sitting on the back porch my mother noticed and commented on how there is a large amount of missing space of what the layout on the 2nd floor should be. Upon hearing this two of our guests immediately started asking if they can go upstairs and pokes some holes in the wall. I follow the two guests upstairs and they see where the missing space should be. They then kick a hole in the wall inside the bathroom closet to reveal this room. The room is about 10x5' and none of us have any idea why it was boarded up.

My parents bought a house from an old widow who proudly proclaimed her husband remodeled the house. We’ll he wasn’t very good and wasted a lot of space. The upstairs had slanted ceilings on the sides because you were right up against the roof. On the north side of the house he turned that into a bedroom and hall closet. Fine. On the side he just covered that space over with a wall. Us kids had our bunk bed right up against that space. We wondered what was on the other side. He also put a light bulb in a closet that pressed it against anything put on the shelf but you couldn’t see that from outside the closet. We put blankets up there and they almost caught fire on our first day but I smelled burning.

Bought My House 6 Months Ago And Found This Hidden Safe When Removing An Old Stove That Was Left Here
Cold Contagious 3 years ago
OP's story was deleted by user but the user below had commented this story and I thought I'd share it. "My parents buy their big “this is our last house” home. It was owned for couple decades by a concert promoter/Texas Mafia dude. Very well known. They found a floor safe under a stack of bricks in the garage. Got a locksmith. Easy peasy - he’s in. They then called police (sadly they didn’t call me). Found about $200k in cash and quite a bit of coke in one giant zip-lock bag. The previous homeowner died - that’s why the family had the home for sale. So, Police can’t ask him what’s going on. Police ended up taking it all. Several years later the deceased guy family contacts parents and say “we finally got the cash back from the court, but please take half.” They did. Didn’t get half the coke though. Probably best."

You have a witch. Start documenting everything. My friends roommate in college was being stocked by a witch. The witch believed the friends roommate was her soulmate and that she had to be linked when they died. The witch was in her late 30s, my friends roommate was 8 when this started. She would leave things around their property like that and then tried to kidnap her when she turned 12. Eventually they got a restraining order and the woman had to move. Our senior year of college the restraining order was up and she had to go back home to fight for it to stay in place. They reinstated it for another 10 years after they found a shine in the woman's home with updated pictures.

Most of it went to my mum's place, and since she is a hoarder, us kids will eventually have to do something with it, though the national costume dolls were eventually able to be sent to a local community centre.

Recently Bought A House. This Is The Door Leading Up The Stairs From The Basement
Peter Parker 3 years ago
That was probably a dog scratching the door every time it wanted to be let out or something.

My one dog does this when fireworks or thunder goes off. Looks close to the same but with more door damage

Opened up a wall in a house I had purchased years ago, and tons of old ammunition came falling out from behind it. Creepy.

Since this was clearly found in an American house, they can (carefully!) take the box to a gun store in order to figure out what to do with them.

It’s a Boohbah. My kiddo had one many years ago when she was a toddler. Of course, hers didn’t have the “fur” pulled back from its head.

As someone born in the 80s, this toy looks incredibly familiar but I can't quite recall from where.

How do so many houses still have things from owners many years past? Does no one need the space to store their own things? I think it would be cool to find stuff like this, but I rarely hear of it happening where I live.

Found A Weird Room In The Attic Of My New House. It Was Not Listed On Any Of The Realtor Postings, Fully Carpeted, Has Power, And Is Connected To The House's A/C Unit
Esist Nosrep 3 years ago
Looks like a worksop/hobby room. There is a lot of shelves and places to put tools, a sheet that looks like a sandpaper, desklamp indicates a need for light for small crafts, a clock on the wall inicates that a person spends a lot of time there and need to know time when to go out, there is a picture of starwars plane next to water bottles, so a person drinks water when spending long hours with a small crafts project, maby building starcrtafts planes, target group of dedicated fans of starwars is like 55 years old white male.

From the first pictures and that it's connected to the ac i would have said a gaming room but the last pictures probably makes it just a small workshop for some kind of stuff

We bought a house a long time ago and discovered a weird hidden room from the attic. It was behind a small built in bar. The roof to it was open to the attic but the walls were completely intact. I thought maybe it was just a hidden unused space in the design. I would not let my kids in the attic for fear they would fall in and not be able to get out. When we put our house up for sale a neighbor came over who was a realtor. The houses on my street all had that but theirs had doors. It was a garage storage closet. The builder had gone to prison for shady loans and bad construction. They just "forgot" to install the door before marketing the house. I was the second owner.
