I will admit the dog fetus in the jar, although tiny, was shocking, then once we found out that it made sense because of her profession it became fascinating. These next stories, however, are just plain creepy and no one wants to find these things in their home.
A few years ago a Reddit user asked the simple question: What is some of the weird things you have found in your home…I am not sure the world was prepared for the answers.
Little Girls' Shoes
One Reddit user, beefwich, responded: “A box in the basement filled with little girl's shoes. Hundreds of them, all in the same rough size, all looked fairly unused. We contacted the landlord in hopes to return the forgotten box to the previous tenants– but he told us they were older folks and didn't have any kids. It creeped my girlfriend out. I took them to Goodwill. Sometimes I would tease her about her shoes. She loved shoes. I'd tell her the shoe-loving homicidal maniac in our attic was eyeing her collection. She did not find it as amusing as I did.”
The Previous Tenant's Mummified Body
In 2007, the Spanish newspaper El País reported that a bank in Roses, Spain, had repossessed a house and sold it in an auction after the owner had stopped paying the mortgage six years before.
The new homeowner, Jorge Giro, was in for a surprise: the home came with the dried-up body of its previous owner. “Apparently the owner of the house had been dead for some time due to natural causes, which may be the reason she didn’t pay the mortgage,” saysDigital Journal. “Because of the salty air in the seaside town, her body was mummified and preserved without decay.”
A Bomb
In 2010, a Goshen, Indiana, family christened their new home with a visit from the city's bomb squad. It was Linda DeForest's first week there when she was cleaning the cobwebs between the wall and the rafters in her husband's “man cave.” What she found was alarming.
“She called me on the phone. She said, ‘Honey I just found a torpedo in our basement!” Wally DeForest told WNDU 16. Wally said he knew it wasn't a torpedo, but thought it might be some sort of military weapon. He asked his son, Joshua, who'd had two Iraq tours and who happened to be home for the week from his current Kentucky assignment, to take a look. “As soon as I showed it to him he said, ‘Put that thing right back where you found it.' He told me it was a mortar and he said it could still be active,' Wally said.
Oozing Walls
What happens when the walls of your new Texas fixer-upper are dripping with a dark, gooey liquid? It's definitely the beginning of a horror movie, right? At the very least, there's a poltergeist.
Apparently, these are not the only explanations. As USA Today reports: “The cause: Bees, of course. About 50,000 of them, Latanja Levine told Texas’ KIAH, swarming the spaces above the ceiling of her two-story home near Houston.” That's right! It was honey all along! From bees!
A Whole Bunch Of Snakes
In 2009, Ben and Amber Sessions purchased their dream home in Idaho. Something that was not a part of their dream home, but that was a part of their actual home? Snakes. Hundreds and hundreds of snakes. As CBS Newsreports, “The ground surrounding the home appeared to move at times, it was so thick with snakes.”
All I can say to each of those is NOPE!!! NOT TODAY!!
