“Shared a house with some friends years ago on the Northeast side of our town.
We’d lived there for a while but had never really spent much time down in the basement, so we got drunk one night and took a peek around.
The basement was half-finished and had a dirt crawlspace that started under the far edge of the basement and extended under the porch. My roommate scurries under there with a flashlight and takes a look around. We hear him yell that he’s found something and minute or so later he emerges with a black canvas duffel bag clutched in his hand.
Excitedly we opened the bag and found: two black ski masks, a 4 1/2″ hunting knife with a broken handle, and a single black leather glove.
We debated what to do with our find, and eventually we decided to call police non-emergency and ask if any of their detectives were interested in our find.
Turned out they weren’t, so we burned the bag, the mask and the glove, and I kept the knife.
Still have it, too.”
A Missing Fish
This one is from Cadejo:
“I had an aquarium when I was younger. My fish, Fireball, lived in it. One day, I woke up and Fireball was no longer in his tank. Weird. I looked all around the bookcase that the aquarium was on top of. No fish. About five years later, my family moved out of that house, and I finally found Fireball. He was under the bookcase. No… not behind… under. RIP, friend.”
An Embroidered Yarmulke
This weird find is from elphilo:
“I found a [yarmulke] underneath my TV stand in my bedroom when I was moving out of my parents’ place. It was embroidered and looked really nice. I’m not Jewish and the only Jewish friend I had at the time was non-practicing and had no idea where it came from either. It had to [have] been under there for years since it was dusty as hell too.”
