Woman told to sell house after finding creepy message on photograph in attic

Whether you believe in ghosts or not, there are some things in life that just can't be explained. One woman has been searching for answers after discovering a creepy picture hidden underneath a box in her attic.

She explained how she was clearing out her family's vacation home when she came across a "scratched up" polaroid with the words: "Do you see him?" written on it. Creeped out by her discovery, she has taken to Reddit to see whether anybody can make out a figure in the image. She said: "I found it while cleaning out my family vacation home. I tried cleaning the picture as much as I could but it's really scratched up.

"I can't even really see anything, just an outline of a house and I don't see an outline of a person. I will try to look for more."

She went on to explain how a couple lived in the house before her family bought it as their vacation home.

But her dad has tasked her with cleaning it out so they can put it on the market to sell.

While most users urged her to "stop looking for him and get out of there", others tried to invert the photograph to see whether they could see a man hiding in the image.

One user said: "You don't see him? I can see him. He's just standing there, what's creepy about it? I don't understand. Like it's just a guy standing there."

Another user added: "I felt creeped out just looking at it. Bury it and never speak of it again."

A third user said: "Ok but do you guys see a person with a hat on about halfway in the picture?"

One more simply said: "Put it back. Sell your house. Never go back."

A man was gobsmacked after discovering secret room hidden behind bookcase in new house (gundam2017/Reddit)

It comes after a homeowner discovered a secret room hidden behind a bookcase in his new house.

While he had viewed the house before buying it, he didn't notice the secret room and there was no mention of it on the listing.

It wasn't until he unpacked all of his belongings into his new home that he finally got a real look at the property.

Sharing his surprise on Reddit, he wrote: "Our new house has a secret panic room that wasn't included in the listing. Built in 1978 and I love this place."

The secret room is only accessible through a sliding bookcase in the renovated basement - but it didn't have anything "too exciting" inside it.

He added: "There were lots of expired canned food, some logs, and a bunch of rubbish that I've been tossing.

"We've been using it as storage for six months. We are going to sell, donate and trash stuff to start framing it."

While most users shared their ideas on how he could use the space, others questioned whether it was actually made to be a panic or torture room.

One user said: "That much concrete, probably a fallout shelter, not just a panic room."

Another user joked: "I suppose it's a panic room for whoever they were torturing in there."

A third user said: "As a lifelong drummer, finding a giant room encased in cement is literally my dream. I’d turn that into a small recording studio so quick."
