Our homes are meant to be our safe spaces, where we unwind after a long day, eat, sleep, and take shelter from the chaos of the outside world. We make them our own and naturally assume we know every corner.
But for these people, that sense of comfort was shaken. One day, they stumbled upon something deeply disturbing hidden within their homes—so unsettling, they felt compelled to share it online.
Scroll down to see what they found. And maybe keep the lights on, just in case.

#19 Footprint Found On Wall
My house is a poor man’s Victorian, it was built in 1893 and once or twice a year for the last 6 years I’ve lived here I magic erase the door frames, switches, windowsills during a seasonal deep clean.
Last October I was deep cleaning my home and noticed a footprint about 8’ up the wall under the attic. I remembered my partner had been doing some attic work in spring and figured it must’ve been left over from that. When he came home I asked him to wipe it up, since it was pretty inconsiderate to leave for 6+ months without offering as he’s usually pretty meticulous.
“Hey can you wipe that footprint off the wall above your office?”
He looked at me confused, “What footprint?”
I walked him up the stairs and pointed it out and he looked at it and back at me and flatly said “Why would I have been in the attic without shoes?” Which is a very him response, as he’s very stoic and exceptionally more prepared for anything that I am.
He goes “Are you pranking me?”
I wasn’t. We have no clue where the footprint came from or why it would be bare 7’ up.
