I don’t know about you, but I love a good “unexplained mystery.”
Here are their stories (and even some photographic evidence).
“I have two, unfortunately.
My house had gallon-sized glass pickle jars on shelving in the basement.
In every single one, there were all different-sized rat skeletons.

“We uncovered this graffiti in our co-op’s basement during our recent re-shelving.
We think it dates back to the ’60s.”
My dog reacted to it as well.
Empty house, empty yard.”

“A full-on second floor.
When we bought the house, it had a dormer window.
“I moved into an apartment that had a very odd closet.
It also had a series of small stepped ledges that I think were meant to be for shoes.
The hole was full of doll parts of all sorts heads, torsos, legs, arms.
As far as I could tell, none of them were parts of the same doll.”

Stuff and dog hair would collect between the two, so we’d have to sweep it out regularly.
Once, we found a strange plaque about marriage (kinda churchy).
We thought it was odd, but it was the least odd thing.
After some water damage, we hired a mold inspector to check out our basement.
Lying there was an old Playboy featuring Jayne Mansfield.”

“I bought a new condo, and my mom was helping to clean it before I moved in.
There was what she thought was just a normal stuffed rabbit on a high shelf.
She had to use a broom to knock it off, and it fell flat on its face.
She was terrified when she flipped it over and saw this thing.
My brother-in-law came out of there carrying the body (no head) of an old doll.
Can’t explain how it got there or who put it there.
I was glad when I was old enough to move out.”

The ‘bundle,’ it seems, was an ANCIENT Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade balloon!
I tried in vain to find a buyer or donate it.
It was ratty, huge, kinda smelled, and was even deflated."

“A while back, my in-laws moved into a late relative’s home.
It was built sometime in the mid-1800s and needed a ton of repairs.

I crawled in one day to run some wires.
Deep under the house, I pointed my flashlight at a dirt shelf.
My scream caught in my throat as dozens of mannequin heads stared sightlessly back at me.
The wires were dropped and eventually run by someone else.
I never went back there again.”
“The house we live in currently has a small attic above the garage.
It’s the next owner’s problem when we move again.”

“Our house is 62 years old and was built on cinder block pilings.
I’m talking, like, a mini coleslaw vat.
“This was back in the late ’90s.
My then-husband and I lived in a one-story house that had been built in 1923.
It was the only thing up there.
“He felt so creeped out and disturbed.
