142 Times People Found Stuff In Their Parents’ Houses That Was Too Weird For Them To Handle
Your parents house can be an absolute goldmine when it comes to odd and random trinkets. We all collect things over the years, a lot of it crap. But amongst it all there are some gems, weird objects that have an interesting background story and add to the rich tapestry of your family story.
With the holiday season upon us and family visits aplenty, we at Bored Panda have decided to compile a list of the strangest things that people have come across when catching up with the old folks.
It all kicked off on Twitter during thanksgiving when someone tweeted out a request for the oddest things found at their parents place. People responded with glee, sending in pictures by their thousands. Here is a selection of the best, don't forget to vote for your favourite and feel free to add your own!

I wonder how they explain this to the guests. Like, it was a gift from Captain Jack Sparrow?

This doll is from the mid-60's, I think. Her name is "Little Miss No-Name". Although, I'm not sure if this one is an original because it looks like she's missing the painted tear from her face.

Need something for scale... or they just look like regular anvils... which is still a weird collection to have... unless they're blacksmith descendants... or have some weird horse shoe fetishes....or have horses.... or make jewellery... or remove handcuffs.... On second thought, maybe not so weird

No. It looks like you had a fatal accident with a unicycle while you were juggling those clubs.

This is quite literally the creepiest thing I've ever seen. And half of them are hanging upside down.

I think the figures are the shrunken and mummified remains of people who took things from the drawer.

All of the items in this picture are VERY OLD including the doll. My three older sisters had dolls like this. They are in there 60s to 70s now. One of my sisters still has hers.

Most of the guys who wrote the U.S. Constitution would be very offended by the idea of using Jesus to heal the country, or any such thing.

We have that same phone on our wall! Also with a new phone line running to it! Seriously, who cares about the faceless penguin on top? This phone is where it's at!

That's FurReal Friends Cat Lulu from Hasbro. She purrs when she gets scritches, rolls on her side and grooms herself. Kids like it to have when they don't get a real cat. 😺
