A bloke has been left stunned after making a chilling discovery in his attic.
The man took to Reddit to share the creepy experience, admitting he’d never braved his loft before. However, after curiosity got the better of him, he was horrified to find curtains he hadn’t put there hanging from the rafters.
“Went into my attic for the first time, wasn’t expecting to find this…” he posted. And other users were quick to comment. One wrote: “F*** that. Exit attic.” The original poster agreed: “My exact plan of action. noped right out of there.”

Another said: “You should probably burn your house down,” while a third chimed in: “What in the Hereditary bulls*** is that,” referencing the 2018 hit written and directed by Ari Aster.
But one user had a simple explanation – and even suggested what the poster could do with the curtains. “My mom used to do this,” they said. “She’d store the curtains by hanging them from the ceiling in storage room so they wouldn’t wrinkle. This was when people changed curtains seasonally. Since they were a b*tch to iron, this was a good solution.”

They even suggested the curtains might be a hidden treasure, claiming they “look vintage” and were possibly custom-made for the house. They said the original poster might want to think twice before tossing them out as they could be “valuable.”
“There’s nothing there that’s going to hurt you,” the advice continued. “Buy some sage, burn it to ‘cleanse’ the room, and take this s*** down.”
“Not gonna lie, I’d turn this into a cool reading nook or smoke spot. You’ve got a great space with a lot of potential. Use it.”
The original poster agreed it was a “cool space” but said they had plenty of reading nooks already. “i appreciate your thoughtfulness because i’m honestly scared lol,” he said.
