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.
Scroll down to see what they found. And maybe keep the lights on, just in case.

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.

My husband and I went to look at it a few weeks back. There's an old dilapidated barn on the property. My friend found this in a corner, under some boards and dust.
Hair Cuttings
We found this in an old desk left in the basement of a rental we own. They seem to all be from the same person but why…?!
People used to stash their own hair to burn it because it was believed that if you threw away hair randomly, your spirit was doomed to find every strand of lost hair before it can rest in peace and go to heavens

Renovating A 100 Year Old House, Found What Looks Like A Samurai Sword Under A Section Of The House That Had A Dirt Floor. The Sheath Is Metal On The Outside And Wood Inside
That's a WWII Japanese Army sword... I'm guessing you are in America...these were brought back by American GI's as trophies. By that point these were being factory produced and aren't the same quality as a handmade, hand folded sword. Still very cool and will definitely have some value to someone. Try militaria collectors rather than martial artists of you want to sell it. They will value it more highly.

It's a witch ward likely. Like a jar full of iron nails and chicken bones. You'll find them in attics out east. It keeps the witches out.

Found Under My Friends House. Any Idea What Kind Of Bone It Is?
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.
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.
Recently Moved Into A New House And I Found This Drawing On The Walls In The Garage. Anyone Know What It Means?
Note: this post originally had 67 images. It’s been shortened to the top 50 images based on user votes.
I'm bummed. I've lived in a 150+/- year old house for 25 years and never found anything fun or creepy.
My favorite in my house (125+ yo folk Victorian) permanent kitten paw prints in the basement floor. Creepiest: girls swimsuit (may be a few decades old?) in a wall we opened up. Hoping that was just squirrel nesting material and not something more sinister...
