I've only recently discovered this topic board and realised I may have something of interest to share here... I'd love some ideas from others about this room.
Back 12 years ago as a teenager my friend moved into a detached four bed house with her mother and siblings. The house was unusual in layout and design. Things like a bathroom the size of a double bedroom, sinks in the bedrooms, unique windows and glass partitions etc. It's not a massively old town so the house can't be any older than 1920's. I always felt a bit unsettled there and didn't like to be left in a room alone.
A few weeks after moving there my friends younger brother went up into the loft when playing with his brother and discovered a furnished room up there. On a visit my friend took me up there to have a look around.
The loft was furnished like an old fashioned young girls bedroom - think floral wallpaper, pink carpet, chest of drawers and a bed made with frilly bedding. The loft also had a small crawlspace for storage that ran around it, but there was nothing unusual or to note inside. But the room felt "off". We couldn't spend long up there as we were both so creeped out.
My friend's brother was the first to discover this room and at about 10 years old was too young to have set it up. My friend swears the bed was made perfectly and it looked like someone had lived up there. The thing is, the only way up there was by a hatch with a steep ladder. You would have to let the ladder down when going up and then have someone help you push it back up once up there. There was no toilet or windows... I can't see how this could have been a child's bedroom. Plus the house was pretty big, so unlikely a family would be so tight for space they'd put someone in the loft!
So it's been bothering me ever since... why was there a bed up there? My friend no longer lives there and there haven't been any estate agent listings for the house since they moved so I do any digging that way.
I know nobody will know, but it would be fun to speculate
