The dog-poop-basement reminds me of Markiplier's roomba incident he talked about on Distractible, especially when Wade is imagining what a cleaning person would say if he saw it: "It's happened. I've officially encountered the worst home I've ever seen in my life. There was shit everywhere, it was nothing but shit - in fact the house was pristine if it weren't for the shit, but there was so. much. SHIT."
More sad than creepy: Helped an elderly widower clean out his backyard. He insisted on paying me, despite his gifts of delicious peaches from his tree every year. I’d actually never been over. He was always invited to my place. So I arrive and it’s full of pink flamingo, faux palm trees and all other sorts of fake tropical plants along with boxes and boxes of reproductions of those eerie Victorian Era dolls. The ones with the the dead looking stares. When the dumpster is full the man says the dolls were from when she was growing up and the other stuff was meant to be future decorations for when “they won the lottery and moved to Florida”. He had his reasons for just wanting it gone. The dolls were creepy looking and worthless. The Ttopical decor, “Tacky”, he said. He paid me $80 and I continued meeting with him weekly for sweet tea and chatting about sports on his porch until he died.
my late father used to do TV repair visits, he told me once that he went into a house and they had like 7 taxidermied cats and two dogs. apparently every time they lost a pet they had it taxidermied. he said it was kinda cool but also EXTREMELY unsettling
Used to work in foreclosures and i have a couple. First one i ever got was a chest freezer full of rotten deer meat. Crazy yet sweet, old neighbors. One house had poop a couple of feet up the wall. The occasional weapon and drug paraphernalia. I live in America so the strange part for the guns is that the owner didn't keep them. Arguably, the scary part is the one where we found both in one house. Also saw what I'm assuming was either a homemade sex dungeon or recording booth. Don't know for sure which but it was a room in the basement the former owner built themselves with sound inulating foam inside
Honestly the karaoke room makes perfect sense if you know~~ Nothing creepy- it’s a culture thing and it’s neat that so much care seems to be put into it- Even if it seems creepy for someone not familiar to discover. This is a part of Asian culture that they brought to whatever country the op Is in- the confusion is understandable! But it’s actually wholesome as hell. What an epic room to just whip out! fr! It was obviously carefully soundproofed! And care was put into the room’s aesthetic and equipment- odd as it may seem- That’s not creepy at all! - English bad- sry- I hope my meaning gets across- I’m on phone and I can’t really write properly atm- but this is a lot more than a “secret room” it’s a cultural thing brought to another country with different values. I think it’s wonderful how they brought this significant bit of the culture with them- but because of where they now live- (insert a long txt here- I’m trying to be short and direct…) They had to deal with a carpet needing to be removed. (Due to reasons/ I can’t go into it rn- but I know what I mean) To them it’s adaptation- but the fact that someone might see it as creepy? I find it especially interesting in this case. Because if you are not familiar- even if you are- something like karaoke will sound silly to some. Someone might see a locked room and think/ creepy- But that room seems To me -to be made deliberately with care- adapting something cultural (I prob have to e wrong word) Can’t type for shizz on phone.

I've seen some weird stuff at an old hippie couple's house in particular. Certain types of old hippies, yuppies, and a lot of boomers in generał are perverts in ways that are just weird or awful. I've seen stuff that's rather representative of the era of their youth. Lots of subversive, exploitative stuff. I can't romanticize the eras of their youth, the sixties to maybe early eighties because of stuff I've seen. But, every generation has their terrible quirks. I've learned this from knowing so many people and being in their spaces and seeing trends. If you're not in the same age group, you're likely to be disgusted with another. It's eternal. It's not any generation in particular, though it seems fun for people to think so.
I'm kinda jealous of the husband in the first story. I wish I had my own private karaoke room.
Me too
