The people in our collection have had extraordinary and often disturbing discoveries about a family member, their home, or everyday possessions that have led to a profound and lasting change in their lives.
One morning my wife discovered a note in the kitchen that said, “I was at your house.” We still don’t know if it was a friend making fun of us or some creeper after more than 4 years. The dogs were immediately shot.
I discovered an extremely rare little doll that had been missing for over 15 years. After ten years of ownership, she has never been in our home. We’ve moved twice since then and we were heartbroken when he disappeared. Not long after the unexpected death of my husband, it fell out of the closet and onto me. It meant a lot to me, so I was very happy to have it back, but I was also scared that it could end up in the cupboard I use every day and fall on my head at 11 pm.
Last year we bought a small property from an elderly woman; she has since died. As we remodeled the space, we discovered dozens of incredibly long, beige, artificial nails everywhere. under the vents, under the baseboards, under every carpet and flower bed, buried in the cement cracks of the driveway, and in several closets. It’s disconcerting when I meet them in places I’ve been to hundreds of times.
I didn’t lock the door because I went to get the mail, which took all of two minutes. When I come back my beer is finished and two girls and a guy are talking around my table. They asked and looked at me if I was one of Steve’s other friends.
I don’t remember how I answered, but I learned that they were supposed to go to their friend Steve’s apartment, but they took the wrong elevator and ended up at my place. They let themselves in because Steve was on a beer.
After that I went out with them a few more times, But now I have to make sure I lock the door. They were nice enough people.
When my parents moved into our house a few decades ago, they were remodeling a few rooms. After tearing down the wall, they discovered an intact photograph from the 1920s inside. It is a framed portrait of a young man. I have no idea why it was on the wall or who it is.
In high school, a friend of mine started dating a girl who shared his last name.
It was revealed that he raised two families that he hid from himself and that she was his half-sister.
I don’t like lettuce and certainly not regular or cherry tomatoes, however, one year in my freshman year of college I discovered a cherry tomato in my bed. I still don’t know how on earth it got there.
When I moved out, I pulled a bag out of my parents’ closet. Inside were three of the same loves (stuffed animals) that I knew as a child. I had another one in my bedroom too.
I grew up wearing four pairs of the same beautiful things my parents bought me.
Noticing them all in my hands on the way down, my father remarked, “You never should have known.”
A long time ago, my family moved into a beautiful 70-year-old house. The house has a laundry room with an opening in the kitchen that leads from the second floor to the basement. Directly below the cellar entrance was the largest, roughest pile of used tin cans and bottles.
It looks like the previous owners spent thirty years using it as a garbage chute because they were too lazy to recycle.
I once discovered a French-influenced powdered wig in my closet, something I had never seen before. I guess I’m still a little confused.
When I was in high school, I went to another state and finished my high school education there. I remember going to my mom’s barbecue after graduation and watching my nephews and nieces play in the backyard, which was full of plants and trees. I got a call from my sister asking why I wrote my name on the tree.
Confused, I turned to see my nickname “SAM” etched into the back of the tree. Although I doubt she took me seriously, I never carved it into a tree. I wonder who did it. It really scared me too.
After taking a DNA test, the friend discovered that she had an unusually large number of siblings and cousins, considering that she only had one biological brother, one adopted brother, and no cousins.
It turned out that her mother was having trouble conceiving, so she visited a reputable specialist and eventually became pregnant. However, all this doctor did was combine some of the husband’s sperm with his own in order to impregnate them. So he fathered a lot of children, most of whom are probably still in the dark.
When I was expecting our second child, my fingers got too big for my wedding ring, a simple gold ring that belonged to my mother. I took it off while driving and my mother put it in her purse.
When she went to get it later, she couldn’t find it in her purse.
Almost a year later, I walk into the kitchen and something bright catches my attention.
When I look down, my ring is in the middle of the floor. Although I’m glad I found it, it still feels weird.
When I first joined Facebook years ago, I did a quick and fun search for my name. I discovered a woman who had my name and had a very similar appearance. She’s black and I’m white, yet we have the same faces, which makes us weird. We remained Facebook friends for years until I decided to unfriend her. She misses him.
I used to compete in figure skating when I was younger. My mother always offered me a fake flower when I competed. These flowers were in a vase I had in my room.
One day I saw a torn white silk rose in a vase. Compared to the ones my mom bought me, this one was clearly older and poorly built, something I had never seen before. When I asked her about it, she admitted that she had never seen anything like it.
For a long time, the young me thought it was somehow placed there by the spirits of my maternal grandparents – who died when I was a child.
