What's the weirdest thing you've found left in a house you've just bought?

[LynnThese4reSEXPEOPLE]

In my case - a pet urn. A full one.

Most of the previous owners belongings. Clothes etc all over the sitting room, and 2 empty bottles of wines in the middle of the room. They had obviously thought I know I am supposed to move tomorrow but bugger it let's get pissed.

When my parents moved into a new house in 1972 they found a dolls house, complete with furniture. The previous owners' daughter, who was a teenager, had decided to leave it behind for me. I was 7 at the time and I was delighted.

A latex posing pouch behind a radiator 😳 🤢

And in a different house a box containing glass eyes 👀🤢

I’ve name changed for this as super outing (cancel the cheque, penis beaker etc). A full size, glow in the dark, fully rotating head of Jesus with spacers for incense around it. You could hear me scream across the the gardens when I found it in the loft. In fairness, the actual full size picture of the Pope in the toilet should have been a clue (they didn’t leave that though).

@adelaya sounds a bit Silence of the Lambs!

@Thisisreallyveryouting that ounds like it should be a centrepiece - no - a talking point in any new home. The closest I've seen to that is a shop in Lourdes that sells Virgin Mary glow in the dark carriage clock/snow globes that play "Ave Maria" on the hour

A dish of mandarin oranges in the fridge. Hundreds of empty gin and whisky bottles under the floorboards, discovered when we did some building work.

It certainly was a talking point! I had to get rid of it though as it was just soo creepy

I long to find a first edition Harry Potter or a long lost Picasso 😂 Sadly, the most I’ve ever found is a couple of empty crisp packets. Extremely jealous of people finding money and laughing at the Princess Di fanatic!

A history exercise book in the attic. The previous owner had had the same teacher as me and the lessons we had followed were almost identical 30 years later.

One of those giant whiskey bottles - with lots of teeth in it

Coffin lids (but no coffins) in the garage.

@DramaAlpaca - how incredibly sweet!

I've just moved and my new house was impeccable when I moved in. Holiday cottage clean! Pretty much the only thing left was a dog's kerchief in the understairs cupboard, and a box of chocolates for me!

@BanburyBun wtf😳

Asbestos 😖.

Skid marks in the toilet and pubes In the bath

A mountain of wine glasses and their stems and an ashtray (overflowing) on top of the bay window ( outside the master bedroom)
Mountains of dirty nappies the the loft cupboard ( I had been wondering what the ammonia smell was in the attic room) 🤢

Newspaper underneath the carpet they'd left behind, which included wedding photos of our previous neighbours. Very spooky

A bag of used dildos and vibrators in the loft bedroom 😱

@ LynnThese4reSEXPEOPLE no, they were desiccated rather than slippery

A 90s shellsuit Umbro jacket, a porno and an empty packet of Marlboro in the crawl space. I think a teenager had been enjoying themselves up there!

Toe nail clippings on bathroom floor - nice welcome

We found a sword in our cellar. That was a big surprise.

Does shit in the toilet and on the seat count ?

We also found old film reels in the attic of the previous owner from when he was a child.
We were nice though, despite them leaving the house in a disgusting state and arranged for them to be returned to them via next door who knew were they had moved too.
I was less polite when I found out his company website was still showing our address and he had sold the domain to an ‘adult site’

Parents bought the neighbouring house as an investment when I was young, which hadn't been decorated or cleaned for years. What I thought was a type of artex on the ceiling were in fact sanitary pads which had been thrown or glued up there!
