Old homes often have a whole lot of character, as someone has lived there, sometimes for much of their lives. This can mean interesting, personal touches here and there, but also all the eccentricities of the previous owners. This can range from “unique” paintings still on the wall, all the way down to entire secret rooms.

We’ve gathered some examples of weird, unusual and even creep things people have found in old homes and shared with the internet. So get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote your favorites and be sure to share your own thoughts in the comments section down below.

#43 Looks Like Someone Was Locked In The Basement Of The House We Just Bought

Just noticed that one room in the basement of the house we just bought has a steel door with the knob oriented so someone could get locked in the room. Then looked closer and noticed all these scratch marks around the knob on the inside of the door, and some dents too. There is a window in the room but it’s small and high up so it would be hard for some people to get it open and get out of it.
