Imagine the sheer joy of the day you finally move into your new, dream home. And the cold-shower realization that you may have gotten yourself a haunted house. Okay, let’s not jump to conclusions before scrolling below through this collection of some of the creepiest, weirdest and most unexpected findings people came across upon arrival.
From an eerie-looking old baby stroller found in the far corner of the attic to a spine-chilling monkey doll that looks like straight from a horror movie, and a hidden bunker you had no clue existed, it makes you wonder how little homeowners truly know about the places they are ready to call home.
Arm yourself with a bucket of popcorn, and better bring that duvet to hide under because it’s about to get chilly.

The New House My Parents Bought Has A Secret Room Hidden Under The Stairs
That's all I can think of it too. I don't see anything crazy or creepy. Meh
Load More Replies...Yes! Spot lived under their stairs. He was their pet dragon!
Load More Replies...That's not disturbing that's awesome. I have always wanted a house with a secret room. As a kid I use to have dreams that there was a little door in the back of the closet that opened to a secret room.
Same! I would always have these dreams where there was a secret room hidden in the closet, and I would be the only to know about it. Sometimes in my dreams I would just randomly decide that I needed a secret door, and I would pick a random spot on the way and just pull open a little door. It was so weird....

A crawl space behind the door contained a safe, briefcase (with money of various countries and origins, silver ingots, jewelry), a stack of mysterious videotapes (one of them was labeled "No no no no"), and a note that said “save yourself”
NO NO NO!!!! IF THE RING TAUGHT US ANYTHING IT WAS DONT PLA THE DAMN TAPE
Load More Replies...I would be so tempted to watch that video. Good I didn't find it, would probably the last thing I ever saw...
I would do the same! I'm always saying that in a horror movie i would be the first character to die for sure
Load More Replies...It's probably just his monthly subscription to Hunt a Killer.
Load More Replies...Now this one I can get behind. Jewellery, old watches, cool wooden box - thanks creepy former residents, cha-ching! I'd listen to all the tapes, especially the NONONONO one. Cool.
My dude, you do NOT, I repeat, do NOT. Listen to a tape that tells you not to.
Load More Replies...While some of the creepy discoveries in this list may indeed look unsettling and raise some doubts whether the place you just moved into is really fine, some people encounter way more serious issues. Think of hard-to-explain sightings, sounds, or smells… How do you know your new home is not haunted?
Well, to find out, Bored Panda reached out to Greg Newkirk, full-time paranormal investigator and founder of the world’s only mobile museum of the unexplained. For the last two and a half decades, Newkirk has been tracking down and investigating cases of high strangeness ranging from flying saucer crashes to cursed artifacts and everything in between.
So I Found This Monkey In The Attic
If Stephen King is to be believed that probably won't work either
Load More Replies...Did you also find and underground lake lit with candles and a creepy guy in the basement?
Came to the comments specifically for phantom references
Load More Replies...I hope it was kept, because it looks like an original and probably worth money to a collector.

Animals usually don't require to have a catholic burial and an anointing of the sick.
Yep. If I am in an accident, a priest will come to give me Last Rights if it looks like I won't make it.
Load More Replies...And what would an animal be doing with a medal that says, "I am a Catholic..."?
I'm currently 3+ years into renovating a 1920 bungalow that had been converted to apartments in the early 40's. Would you believe there were 2 Montgomery Ward sale papers from 1946 laying on a shelf in one apartment that was one of the 2 most rented? I still can't believe no one ever threw them away. And the couple that lived there longer than anyone else were fairly neat people, they definitely weren't hoarders or pack rats.
Just Rented A New Place. Previous Tenant Left The Wall Mirror - And A Dirty Secret
I have a feeling it was not the previous tenant, but instead is the creepy landlord.
It might be the landlord doing it. I'm sure before he rented the place, he painted, and he would have moved the mirror.
Checked the comments, OP followed the wires and they lead to another room unplugged, the DVR was missing, apparently. He also found microphones. There's no happy ending as he didn't comment on whether he contacted the police or not. OP is an asshole.
The camera itself was dusty but the the lens was quite clean.
Load More Replies...“If you just moved into a house and it doesn't feel quite right, remember that anything but a brand new home has spent years soaking up the experiences, actions, and emotions of the people who have lived inside it,” Newkirk explained. It turns out that many paranormal researchers—including himself—believe that intense emotional states can create some kind of lingering bond with a location, which most people can pick up on unconsciously, the investigator explained.
“My advice, as silly as it might sound, is to talk to your new home, introduce yourself, explain why you're there and that you plan to care for the space. This kind of introduction can make a big difference, because even if you don't believe in ghosts or the paranormal, it can act as a kind of positive affirmation that will help you settle in.”
My Friend Just Bought A New House And Showed Me Where The Ex-Owner Was Found
Omg, at least rip out and replace that part of the floor. I'm not sure if it's more creepy or more nasty. Either way is a big nope
You probably don't even need to do that. It's a hardwood floor, you can grind it off a bit.
Load More Replies...Ya gotta replace the wood flooring and the decking underneath. The person decayed there, the liquids will have seeped through everything. Replace. Everything.
Smart advice. No one needs a daily reminder of the sad ending of a person, who was not missed enough by friends and family to check on him
Load More Replies...That's a bad cleaning job. A decent crime scene cleaner would have ripped up that floor.
Doesn’t need to have been a crime. Just someone who died and wasn’t found for a while.
Load More Replies...just put a carpet over it... it will be fine im fine everything is fine!

Load More Replies...There's A Room In The Attic Where I Just Moved. Pretty Sure Nothing Good Happened Here
There are no neighbors near enough to hear someone yelling if they were in here...
Hard to tell, but the door is only 4 feet tall and 1.5 feet across (lamp for scale). It's got a light built into it and is painted light green. Metal grate on inside and outside of the door. Ceiling at its highest is a little over 4 feet. I'm hunched down to take these pics.
This is a creepy room upstairs at the far end of the attic at the house I just moved into. This house is overall about 60 years old, and apparently, the previous owner was the head of a church (don't know if that means priest or what)
that looks more like a prison cell, that would be playing in my mind all the time, of what realy happened there.
Ok, so to me that looks like a super cool loft-type clubhouse for kids… my kids would be ECSTATIC to have that cool of a room in the attic to hang out and play in!
Load More Replies...I think I would casually mention this to local authorities. That is creepy as hell.
People used to put autistic children in attic 'cells' long before there was any diagnosis or understanding. Just saying.
Omg seriously that's awful I've never heard that my youngest is autistic what the hell is wrong with people
Load More Replies...The least bad thing that is is a Leviticus-screaming Jesus freak locking his kids up in there when they “sinned.”
Ok, only crazy Christians do this, not decent ones
Load More Replies...Honestly that is a nice extra room. If I were a kid I would have loved it. I liked secrete little hiding places where I could be alone. You couldn't drag me out of that if I was a kid.
I feel the same way, this would have been an awesome playroom as a kid.
Load More Replies...THIS. I would like an update 😨🤢 my mind is getting weird.
Load More Replies...It got waaay more frightening when I read "the previous owner was the head of a church".
If you're looking for signs that your new home might be haunted, Newkirk said that you won't have to look too hard. “In my experience, hauntings in residential homes exist primarily to draw the residents' attention to something—whatever is causing the haunting *wants* you to see, hear, or feel it.”
Moreover, “common experiences in haunted homes range from the subtle feeling of being watched all the way up to visual manifestations of what we'd call ghosts. I've found that the longer you go without acknowledging these kinds of anomalies, the more pronounced they'll get until they're basically demanding your attention,” he explained.
So My Parents Just Moved Into A New House And Found This On The Ceiling In One Of The Bedrooms. I Know Which Room I Won't Be Staying In
It says: "I'm under the bed"
Yeah, when I was still renting I once decided to redo the bathroom and when I took the mirror down I discovered the people who last repainted didn't bother to paint behind the mirror, but instead left a message scrawled with the wall paint: "the truth is out there"
Load More Replies...We moved into a house in Minnesota and my son kept finding small sized footprints on his bedroom closet mirror. At first, I couldn't figure out how they were getting there because they occasionally happened when he wasn't home. The mirror was a floor to ceiling closet mirror. Many times these baby sized footprints would appear near the top of the mirror and look just like a small child had walked up the mirror and onto the ceiling. Finally, about a month into all of this. When I finally started to lose it myself, our youngest child confessed that she and her friend would go into his room and put these footprints going up the wall. I guess it's a great prank. But my son, who is now almost 30 years old, still has trouble sleeping at night
Looks like it was put on there with glow in the dark paint. When I was a kid in the mid-60s I decided it would be a real cool thing to paint some cute little flowers and write my name etc. with some glow in the dark paint and when my mom found out I got my butt tanned

I Should Never Have Opened The Attic
I have my daughters stroller in my attic. It isnt old or creepy though. I just dont want to mess with bringing it down to donate.
Just as I read this, my neighbor's cat started crying outside. I'm a little shaken 😳
Load More Replies...Storing old baby gear in the attic and forgetting about it seems pretty normal.
clearing out my mum in laws home there was a pram in the attic seems she had kept it for 60 odd years from her youngest son; maybe she thought she may have had another child
Yep, specially when you hear the wheel running back and forth in the night.
Load More Replies...bought this place from a nice lady named Rosemary. wonder why it was so cheap tho...
If you're worried that you might be moving into a haunted house, the professional investigator urges you to choose curiosity instead of fear. “Parapsychologists have long believed that there is a strong link between the unconscious mind and ghostly experiences, so when it comes to hauntings, consider that maybe it's *you* with the 'unfinished business,' and not the ghost.”
NYC Woman Felt A Mysterious Airflow Coming From Her Bathroom Mirror, Only To Find A Hidden Apartment Behind It
I do to. According to psychoanalysis - and in a nutshell - those dreams can be associated with changes in life, or desire of changes. Those changes can be big or small. The dream is a way for our mind to "test" how you react to them.
Load More Replies...It's not a hidden apartment! It's the next door apartment with a hole in the wall connecting the two. Geez.
If not this one, then one very similar was featured on BP recently. IIRC they were renovating the apartment next door. You are actually breaking into someone else's property doing this.
Load More Replies...I remember seeing this video a couple of years ago. Did she get to keep the other space to herself? free-6194c...aebd89.jpg
No, she lives in a building, she just went through a hole into the apartment next door that was being renovated
Load More Replies...Not so lucky it was just the next door apartment
Load More Replies...If she's in NYC the apartment behind the mirror is probably bigger than the one she's leasing

OP put the SIM into an iPhone, no contacts or anything interesting about the SIM.
This is something I would do. Put a SIM card somewhere safe and secure and then forget where I put it because it was too safe and secure (and out of sight)
Happened to me a couple of times, with SIM cards and SD ones. Worse: I hid a huge amount of money in a DVD case, which my ex accidentally gave away :-(
Load More Replies...Well, well, well... Someone had a second SIM card for his phone that he had hidden from his wife... ;)
I thought it was a chip out of a debit card until I read the comments section lol 😆
Probably just an anonymous sim card that someone used for cheating
I wouldn't put it in a 'phone, use a card reader and run anti-virus software before you open it.
Anti virus? Lmao...what for ..do you know what it is?
Load More Replies...However, “if you remain open to the experience and explore the possibility that a haunting may very well be a product of your own powerful subconscious attempting to communicate important information, you'll find that these experiences are far less scary than they are enlightening. Sure, maybe your ghost is the lingering construct of a dead person, but those are easy to deal with—they just want to talk,” Newkirk explained.
I Just Helped A Friend Move Into Their Apartment. The Next Day They Found 37 Clowns Under Their Porch
Well, it's less disturbing than finding 37 people under a clown's house
im jealous! i collect porcelain clowns like that, and they can be so expensive!
Some of those look in pretty good shape, just dirty. I hope they didn't throw them all out.
Load More Replies...thats so creepy... I would move as far away from there as possible...

Honey........ I'm going to need a can of deodorant and a lighter..... asap.
Recently Moved Into A New Apartment. This Morning I Went Into My Storage Cabinet To Put Things Away And Found Her
The professional investigator reminded us that “if you are seeing things, hearing things, or feeling things that are scary—especially if they're instructing you to do things that are out of character—it's always a good idea to speak with a medical professional before calling in a ghost hunter.” He concluded that “you'd be surprised how many paranormal experiences are cleared up with a visit with a doctor!”

Load More Replies...when people say "I just moved into a new apartment/house and found this" does that mean they dont take a look at what they buy before they buy it?

This is simply decorative. I used to have a similar toilet seat with nails, razor blades and other items in it just to freak out visitors.....lol
"Honey, fetch the special toilet seat! We have visitors today."

I saw one of these for sale with all seashells years ago, it was quite pricey.
Renovating A Bathroom In The House We Just Bought, Found A Peephole
Was behind the wall, looking for a place to route a wire, when I saw light and thought I was in luck. Hey, a ready-drilled hole! Unfortunately, it wasn't behind the closet, where I'd needed it to be. It allows a prime view of the shower stall.
This is from the room that was the previous owner's workroom, into the guest bath.
I am officially creeped out.
Block it from both sides immediately, and never ever tell your guests about it.

Moved Into A New House. Any Idea Why This Would Be In The Backyard?
Well, unless you spell wifi W-I-F-E it spells wife
Load More Replies...Does anyone else see the “S” at the end of “Wife”? Because I can’t unsee it and it’s a bit too evenly etched to be natural..
I see it too, but I think it is an illusion. On that type of texture, you can see any shape. Move your cursor above it, and it will look like the path remains.
Load More Replies...I wanna believe that's a horse mounting block. I'm already shattered from all those little rooms
Well, what happens to the stones when the stone carver makes a mistake? Maybe it's a cast-off.
Or someone just changed their minds. Say a divorce. Cast-offs from the monument makers are common.

From the makers of Elf on the Shelf. Panda in the Pantry. It fieldtested poorly.
How many people buy a house without looking in every part? I mean, it seems that there are plenty, but I just don't get it. Hell, I looked in every place of every open house we went to... drove my partner and estate agent nuts. They'd be outside and I'd be crawling under the back porch, wondering why they kept missing the best parts. Other than the meat hooks in one basement I never found anything this cool.
Just Rented A House. It Comes With Our Very Own Knife Room

If you could put that WIFE grave marker in there, you could charge people money to stay in this place for 1 night and not hear the wails of the dead and tortured. Quite a business opportunity!
New House. Previous Owners Left This Behind Basement Bathroom Curtain
Man Finds A Secret Room In His New House That Contains Tons Of Ammunition, Guns, And Grenades
Just moved into my first house about 2 weeks ago. Just starting to get settled in. Bought the house for a very cheap price. The previous owner was very old and passed away. The house is very old, but for the price, it was perfect for a first house.
When I first toured the house the basement was way worse than it is now. The previous owner hadn't moved anything out yet. The basement was pretty full with junk. They cleaned most of the stuff in the basement out, so I had to clear some stuff out. But here it is now with some stuff that I don't really need and will probably get rid of soon.
While sorting things out in the basement I noticed this sheet of plywood that oddly fit in. I have had the house for 2 weeks and never noticed it. I decided that I didn't want to keep it down there so I tried to move it. It is pinched pretty hard against the stairs so it was pretty hard to get out.
When I finally got it to move I noticed there was something behind. At this point is when I got my phone and started taking pictures
how old where they..?? it could be a bunker from ww2 depending where u live
(The information in the comment has been edited according to the passive-aggressive comments on this comment) I assume it to not be a ww2 bunker, one of the first pictures there is what appears to be a 30 STANAG magazine, a more modern style magazine. But the last picture does show a bucket of M1 Garand clips, which are for the standard issue American rifle from 1936 to 1958, so during ww2 (as people in the replies pointed out, loudly, I have made many mistakes in this comment. I apologize for any confusion, I was only tried to help and I can tell by the replies, I have failed that task)
Load More Replies...its kinda sad because the old owner was probably deeply paranoid and spent the last years of their life constantly being afraid
Oh my. A burglar is in my house. I'll just totter down to the basement, find the room behind the fake wall, and get a weapon. And load it.
Load More Replies...The blue paint on the spoon of the grenade means that it is a dummy. The bottom should be drilled out of the body. Cannot see the rest but I'd imagine there may be some collector pieces worth quite a bit in there.
Your local gun shop should be able to purchase this - or - the EOD for your local PD to remove the items.
Go tell them on imgur 6 years ago when they posted it if you're that bothered.

Children drawings is the only way young children know how to communicate and they don’t really have the biggest imagination differing from common conception so if a child draws something like this it means it most likely happened. So something happened to this child or whoever and could only get it out by drawing so looking farther into this makes it more terrifying. And the fact that there are doll photos cut off from something is me out of there in 1 milisecond
I wonder how many of these posts are the result of some kind of mental illness
A little girl's closet. The house I bought has glow-in-the-dark plastic butterflies etc. all over the outside of one bedroom door.

"That's from a set of stickers from an old Maxim magazine. My buddy had one on his bathroom mirror." - Thanks for pissing on our chips.

Just Moved House And This Was Sitting In The Kitchen In An Envelope Titled "Dads 2 Sharp Teeth + Photo"
The "sharp" part is actually the root of the tooth, the tooth is the opposite end. Still a weird/strange find.
It's probably what he called his last two teeth. People often give them nicknames. "Last of the Mohicans" is also common.

There's A Multi-Room Dungeon/Cave In The Backyard Of The House I Rented
I rented this cool house in the hills of a Los Angeles suburb and there is a lot of DIY stonework on the property - little walls, an archway, steps and this dungeon built into the hill right behind the house. The history I've gathered is that a stonemason lived here for decades until he passed away from old age in the 90s, when the current owner purchased the property and began renting it. No one I've talked to knows what the dungeon was used for
Rent to Hollywood for bucks....Some horror flick just waiting to be made there...
Dungeon? Looks like a guesthouse to me. Why dungeon? Because it's made of stone? Because a STONEMASON build it?
put your unwanted guests in there, they won't come back to your place afterwards
Just Bought A House. Found This In The Basement. Sealed Tight
" I have a bizarre epilogue. I was just contacted by THE GUY WHO BUILT THE HATCH. Ten years ago, he says, the stairs in front of the house collapsed in a tornado. The then-owner used the opportunity to rebuild the stairs with a tornado shelter underneath. However, once the shelter was built, he became concerned that if the house collapsed in a storm, he might be trapped in the shelter. As some have suggested, the hatch truly is an emergency exit. The eye bolts make the hatch too strong to break open from outside, but can be easily removed to escape from within if the house crumples while you are in the shelter. The builder saw this thread on Reddit, then looked me up on Twitter and found contact info to send me an explanation. It's a small world, my dudes."
Load More Replies...I have seen this before, somewhere on the internet. They opened it, but there was nothing special behind it. If I remember correctly, it was an emergency exit and leads outdoors
That is correct. OP said it's an emergency exit the previous owner built in after the front staircase collapsed in a storm.

Found This Bottle In The Basement Of My New House. Wonder What's In It
The poison. The poison for Kuzco, the poison chosen especially to kill Kuzco, Kuzco's poison
*takes a swig* well it sure as hell ain’t whiskey (for legal purposes this is a joke)
Having dealt with a similar bottle once, it contained prepared shellac. It looks and smells like some sort of dark alcohol, but the denaturing agents in industrial alcohol (as well as the shellac, probably) make it poisonous to consume
i guess it could be ...mmm let me guess?? ...poison. Don't drink it tho
take a sip and let us know lokl just kidding but realy i want to know
Previous Owner Of New House Blocked This Hidden Basement Room Off With A Shelf (Door Does Not Lead Outside)
That's kinda weird. OP said on reddit they'd open it as soon as they came back from work 1 1/2 hours later. That was their last comment ever on that account, three years ago.
This is the creepiest about this post, if you consider that the account that posted this was already 3 years old and by no means a spam account.
Load More Replies...So it's meant to prevent "someone" from opening the door from INSIDE the secret room, right ?
Thats just weathering i think. Scratches are thinner and discolor lighter, and all the lil square shapes, its probs just peeling paint or wood. The door looks real old. Makes me wonder how big it is

Classic start to a horror movie. You take the teeth to the local dentist, who identifies them as belonging to the previous occupant, who vanished mysteriously years ago...

What would be so important to padlock but useless enough to leave in a vacant house?
Looks like a Skyrim chest. Bet it's just got some low-grade equipment and a few weak healing items in it. Totally not worth the trouble.
Just Moved Into A New Apartment. Found This In The Basement
That is clearly a sticker or decal or something to make it so perfect. NOT SCARY.
This Was Hanging In My Basement When We Moved In
Back in the day, they used to make dolls for children out of sticks and things. I thought this was a voodoo doll though
Load More Replies...LEAVE IT!!! IF SOMEONE WENT THRU THE TROUBLE OF PUTTING IT UP IT'S PROBABLY FOR S GOOD REASON!!!
I have one of these. A friend who went to New Orleans bought it from a tourist trap and gave it to me. It's supposed to be a voodoo doll, but it's just a souvenir. The main body is plastic. Looks nice and creepy tho!
Yep came here to say this! I have a bunch of them my mom use to live near New Orleans and would buy them for friends! Somehow I ended up with way too many

Just Moved Into My New House, Found This In The Backyard
I helped my buddy clean up his house when he bought it from the estate of the stone mason. The back yard was covered in gravestones thst had typos and cracks.

Found A Small Room Under Our House Containing This Letter And Some Candle
I discovered the room in the house we are renting in. The room is approx 1.5m tall and 4x3 wide, the floor is just dirt but there was a blanket in the corner surrounded by candles, paper and then this letter. We were walking around the house and I was peeling vine off the walls (we are new at the house and it's relatively overgrown) and pulled down a section of vine and saw this hole in the side of the house and went investigating!
So I have a very disturbing true story so my dad had a friend that died at camp because he most likely drowned they had a club WITH THE SAME SYMBOL LOGO as the one seen above they also had a newly discovered ground bedded room with a tarp/blanket with candles surrounding it and they have been living in this said house for more than 13 years and have never seen this room and they just happened to find it the day after he died.
It's from 16 years ago; not exactly ancient history.
Load More Replies...Found A Second Secret Door At The House We Just Bought
I want to live in a house with secret doors, rooms and tunnels. It would make a great hide and seek or sardines house.
They sell these shelves. They come unfinished so you can paint them any color. I told my partner when we build our home I wanted a secret door to my office.
Load More Replies...They probably bought it as-is with the previous owner's unwanted stuff, or the stuff their heirs didn't want to deal with.
Load More Replies...Does anybody ever get a house inspected before they buy them? My Dad was a housing inspector for a while so I knew that it's something that should be done before we bought our current house. I wouldn't buy a place without knowing a much as possible about it, and a 'cool old hidden room' is not the kind of thing you want to discover after you bought it.

It's not that old, and the Major brand is still producing ground safes. Maybe contact them? It's not like lockpicking, and you probably wont hit the combination randomly. But most people use the combination that the lock came with, and you might get lucky with some google work.

Bullets don't just "go off". They have to be slammed into by the firing pin inside of a gun.
Load More Replies...I hope this wasn't deliberate. Surely if it's a live bullet (sorry if that's the wrong word I don't know much about guns) it would potentially be struck on the back by the metal blades of the food disposal thing and maybe explode in some way? I'm pretty sure you don't hit bullets with metal lest they go off?

The idea that you could communicate with the beyond in real time was the selling point. These guys were capitalists, not mystics. Nothing to fear.
