A picture has appeared under my bed. Neither me or DH think it's ours. Wtf?

We're moving house. DH said to me, what do you want to do with the pictures under the bed?
I had no idea what he was on about. I never put pictures under the bed.

Sure enough, 7am this morning he drags out two dusty old frames from under the bed. I've never seen them in my life. One of them had a charcoal drawing of a woman called Rachel.
I've never clapped eyes on it before.

DH says they aren't his. He thinks I've lost my marbles and have a shit memory.

But I swear I've never seen them before. The picture was made in '92. I was 10.

How the fuck did they get there?!

When I moved in 5 years ago there were no pictures here. No other adults have stayed here and I know he kids wouldn't come up with massive frames with glass and a picture of a naked woman.

How did this happen?!

Awesome thread.
Looks like a Man & woman spooning almost to me, or he's doing her from behind.
Can't work out what the arms doing though

Shall I post it to a few John Lyntons on Facebook??

WTFthatsweird · 14/07/2019 10:58

Please face book message random John lyntons and post the responses

UpToonGirl · 14/07/2019 10:58

scoleah that's what I saw - although from that angle he looks like he's got a tail...or a tampon string hanging out of his arse.

DH asked what I was laughing at, explained, he is certain it's your husband.

HeronLanyon · 14/07/2019 10:58

Rather than focus on the sketch (and after scoleah’s expert analysis I’m not sure I want to!) could it be just the frames were bought/ put there/moved there and the sketch not ever seen ?
I’ve discovered things under framed things which I’ve had no idea were there and had never seen or known about and unwittingly were hanging behind something for years.

Is the sketch meaning you are forgetting the more humdrum frame which may have innocent (forgotten) explanation. ???

An art historian in Brighton called Lynton. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Your husband is playing mind games with you 100%.

Bwekfusth · 14/07/2019 11:03

@alittlebitdemented but he's called Norbert!

WhatWouldTheDoctorDo · 14/07/2019 11:04

Curious as to how dusty it was?

MyElbowIsItchy · 14/07/2019 11:04

Uptoongirl......I’m roaring laughing here, a tampon string hanging out of his arse 🤣

WTFthatsweird · 14/07/2019 11:05

It was very dusty 😳

Yum ,. bacon. Now I want some. With eggs maybe....

Scoleah · 14/07/2019 11:11

I also sort of saw it as the back of a Horse standing on its Hind Legs. With a big Tail and half a Right leg!
Only from shoulders down though, I still can't work it out.

Rachel is a Centaur. Grin

alittlebitdemented · 14/07/2019 11:12

@Bwekfusth I know that but it's someone called Lynton in the Brighton area. Could have been his son. It gave a street name that could have meant something to OP.

roundturnandtwohalfhitches · 14/07/2019 11:13

Is this your DH's porn stash? Is your DH Jacob Rees Mog?
(Shudder)

BoronationStreet · 14/07/2019 11:16

Absolutely fascinating thread! I'm overly invested and need the mystery of the framed Rachel to be solved as soon as possible.

Bwekfusth · 14/07/2019 11:16

@alittlebitdemented oh I seeeee, I haven't rtft (again) hadn't realised op said she was in Brighton

Benjispruce · 14/07/2019 11:20

When was the last time you vacuumed under your bed?

Lipz · 14/07/2019 11:26

Oh wow I just read the whole thread. This is fascinating. I do hope you find out where it came from. Although it may always remain a mystery.

HelloGabriel · 14/07/2019 11:28

Like @Scoleah I see a couple spooning but I think 'Rachel' is spooning 'John' as it looks like she's wearing stockings? Or I dunno, could be him Smile

Benjispruce · 14/07/2019 11:29

orange I have a female nude painting. I’m straight and happily married.

Rachelover40 · 14/07/2019 11:29

I can't work out what it is. You say it's a naked woman but It doesn't look like that to me. Most odd, whatever it is.

No point having an inquest over it, odd things do happen.

alittlebitdemented · 14/07/2019 11:30

@Bwekfusth Transpires none of Norbert's sons are called John. Yes, I'm very invested in this. Yes, my husband and children are away leaving me all the time in the world to dick about on the internet.
