On Tuesday, a Reddit thread asked, "What's the most terrifying thing you've ever found in your house?" The answers are the stuff of nightmares, and I can't even imagine if I had found these things.
Here's what people said:
1. This ominous message:
"My house was built in the 1940s. Someone before us scrawled 'help me' into the banister going upstairs." —betterthanthou
2. This special wolf spider:
"A wolf spider that, bizarrely enough, had two extra legs. It was big, too, and when I hit it with a broom, it popped up through the bristles, and scurried up toward my hands." —JethroTheJester
3. This shocking find:
"I was cleaning my dad's place. Right in front of the bed, almost literally right near the door, is a sex chair. It had a heart pillow and everything. I paused and felt my soul astral-project out of my body." —Lord_Calcifur
4. This ~shoestring~:
"I was vacuuming my room and noticed a shoestring. So I go to pick it up, so that the vacuum doesn't get it. It felt weird and then BOOM. It was a female alligator lizard." —Magical_0988
5. And this one too:
"My mother’s vibrator." —HannahMareeCarmelina
6. These intruders:

7. This nightmare:
"I found a bat that may or may not have had rabies." —Back2Bach
8. And this nautical nightmare:
"I live on a boat. One night, I was sleeping with the porthole open. I woke up to discover that a web had been spun across the hinge. Inside my room was an egg sac of a thousand spiders. I eventually knocked it out into the river with a broom and then Mummy Spider appeared." —HellsWaylon
9. This creepy stroller:
"A pitch-black vintage baby stroller from the '50s. It was just scary because it looked like one of those haunted items that you would see on a TV show. I also found a spider in it when I first found it so it scared the crap out of me." —N37HER
10. This basement dweller:
"A copperhead snake in the basement sump pump pit." —Back2Bach
11. This bizarre historical find:
"When I was a child, I found a bullet and one of those weird-looking gas masks, in my grandparents house. No one in my family has a history with war, army, or weapons." —Micutz
12. And this frightening historical photo:
"One day I woke up and went to the bathroom, but my dad decided to hang an antique picture of his grandparents in the hall. It looks like something out of a haunted house, and all members of the family demanded he take it down." —Freedom_Gamer_
13. This shoe dweller, OMG:
"A scorpion in one of my shoes once, years ago." —Mokumer
In conclusion, keep your eyes peeled and BE CAREFUL.
