Former Realtor here. Clients asked me to check out the attic of an old Victorian they were in contract for. There was no light up there and I didn't have a flashlight so I took a few flash photos. Didn't really look at the pictures until I showed it to them. There were two goblins staring at us in one of the photos. Went back a few days later with a proper flashlight and found two paper mache goblins in the attic. Told the clients that I talked to the goblins and they were happy to get new downstairs neighbors as the sellers were too quiet. They laughed.
ffs man the goblins were just trying to play a round of D&D in the pitch black dark attic and you had to interrupt them with your picture taking.
I love this 😂😂😂
That first one sounds illegal. How can you sell a house and not disclose that it contains biohazard?
Shady business dealings, or lax laws
You don’t have to disclose it. If someone dies in the house they aren’t obligated to tell you.
@@okaykh-o5316 true, but if their death creates a biological hazard thats something you need to fix or if not you should be required to disclose it.
@@okaykh-o5316 I'm not on about disclosing the death, they didn't disclose that there was known bio hazardous materials there that are a potential health risk to improperly prepared people. If any of those guys got sick from the bio hazard, the company would be liable
@@patrickgardner2204 if it passes the bio-hazard standards of that state, they don't have to disclose it. Idk if they did, but sometimes local safety inspectors are a complete joke.
8:00 I know that event personally and it continues to traumatize me. The Reddit poster didn't do the humanity and horror of what happened justice.
My childhood friend from church died in that shooting. My friend was trying to close the door as not to let the shooter in but didn't succeed. He was at the party trying to offer help to the kids who were doing drugs at that rave and was leaving at the same time that the shooter came. I also met a guy who was there but successfully hid in the bathtub. I've been to a lot of memorials for this event and still communicate with my friend's mother - a woman who will never be the same. She was supposed to help out with a church fundraiser that night but couldn't because she had to identify the body that day.
Many people, including myself, will never be the same. And the kids who died, I've never stopped wondering who they'd be now.
The zombie part is what makes it memorable for non affected people
Maybe the shooter was high
@@thereisnosanctuary6184 not likely based on the letter from him that they found.
an apartment unit we moved into was previously owned by my great uncle. He moved out and passed away shortly after we moved in. my mother would always catch the scent of his cologne, and one night when she smelled it, she looked up from the computer and saw him at the end of the hallway by my little brothers bedroom. She said he loved my brother, always wanted to know how he was doing.
You know you watched too many Reddit videos when you're on Reddit and read reddits with the robot voice
I thought that was just me. My favorite is when it reads "hahahahahahahahaha"
No
The house I bought was the scene of a triple murder suicide, happened over 100 years ago. Once in awhile we hear giggles or our dogs name being called (he wags his tail happily, not afraid) and I love my house and feel comfortable in it.
Man, good thing we sasquatches just never even buy houses anyway
You guys are so lucky, the real-estate market outside of the wilderness fucking *sucks!*
I swear this bigfoot with internet access gets around. I see your comments on a lot of videos.
Yep, only apartments for sasquatches
2:37 “guess the one thing you can’t beat is a good deal”😵😵
Bought a house in the country and about a year later I was telling my neighbor about some really weird events in the house. He listened then said, you do know that the original owner died and lay in the living room for 3 weeks before we found him don’t you? It was winter and the old guy heated with a wood stove so he froze solid after he died. He was stiff and frozen when they helped carry him out. I think the old guy was still hanging around😱.
Knew about a small housing development where a couple was planting trees and dug up human bones. While they were being dated, another house found more bones... another and another. Eventually it came out the the developers had bulldozed Adena-Hopewell burial mounds. An entire neighborhood basically built on a city of the dead.
Just googled that yo thats mega fucked up
Grew up in a seriously haunted house. Didn't have to disclose this. The new owners tracked us down through some neighbors. Apparently, the activity really kicked up when they started renovations.
I had a a lady who sold homes tell me a funny story.
There was a house in Colorado, beautiful property, remodeled, everything.
COULD NOT SELL IT. Why?
Because the previous owner kept a Lion in the basement and it’s kitty piss absorbed into the wall and foundation and this caused the whole house to smell like kitty pee.
Yea. They were gonna have to raze that lovely house to the foundation and beyond because of how bad the smell was.
This is why exotic pets...especially big cats make bad pets!
equarg That reminds me of something I heard about a house in a nearby town. Someone whose son-in-law is involved in auctions told us that there was a house in a certain neighborhood that looked beautiful from the outside, but the owners were having trouble selling it. Why? Because they let their dog potty in the house and couldn't be bothered to clean it up. The carpet was stained and the padding underneath was saturated with ammonia from the dog pee, making the whole place stink. They were having to pay money to remove and replace the carpet because they were too lazy to attend to their pet.

The locks on our bedroom doors are reversed simply because one of our dogs can open doors and we lock them when we leave the house.
I found a intire unmarked grave yard (12ish people) I was trying to dig a basement on some guys farm
cody collins that’s like striking gold
Wow that totally sucks,just to let you know unmarked graves means that they were murder victims🤷♂️but if you don’t tell the authorities then their families are still going to be wondering what happened to them and even maybe hoping that one day they will return home and hopefully they are still alive too you have the answers theses families are still looking for,🕺but if you were to tell the authorities then they might just say you killed and barred them all or if not that then they might just try to charge you with evidence tampering or disturbing a crime scene or something else of the sort 👏wow you’ve got yourself into a real catch 22 there’s no way for you to win no matter what you do here🤷♂️
Chris Kratzke an unmarked grave doesn’t automatically mean murder victim, and the police aren’t gonna charge him for murder or tampering evidence. They know the difference between that and accidentally finding a dead body.
Less disturbing, more weird. We bought a house a year ago. The 2nd owner of the house had moved across the street, and told us about what she'd had done to the house. Her brother had done the electric, and installed the interior doors. There had been 2 owners between her and us. All of the light switches are backwards (the outer switch turns on the inner light, and vice versa), the outlets are all upside down, and the doorknobs were all backwards (We fixed them. But that part that latches, and has one flat and one rounded side, so you can push the door shut. The flat side faced the door frame so you'd have to turn the knob every time.) and the doors are all awkwardly high off the floor. (We have a tiny dog, and it can fit its snout under the door enough to see his eyes.) These crazy things lasted for 15 years without being corrected. 🤔
Bridget the Midget was a comedy song preformed by Ray Stevens in the 70s. Didn't realize it was an actual unrelated person with that name. Also homegirl stabbed her boyfriend around the time this video was posted.
There should be a law that requires a seller informs you of all the mishaps that happened in the house. If they fail to disclose anything then they can be sued and have their licenses taken away
I joked when I heard about a triple homicide in a nice rental townhouse, " Well, I bet you can get a great deal on that unit!"
Obligatory not a realtor.
I moved to the house I live in now 4 years ago, but I moved to this town 5 years ago. We had a year lease on a house we were renting and my parents were quickly trying to find a house within their budget to buy before our lease was up. They found a house in a heavily wooded neighborhood and bought it. About a year later my mother was talking to one of the neighbors who told us the former owners husband died in the master bedroom and that’s why they sold the house.
My bedroom is the master bedroom.. I shrugged it off after finding out cause I’ve been in houses where relatives have died plenty times before. But starting this summer (Bare in mind it’s been 3 years since we found that out) some very odd things have been going on. On the Fourth of July I left the front door open cause I was taking out the trash and recycling in the entire house. I was at the top of the stairs when the front door threw itself shut. We’ve had fresh fruit rot the day after buying it. My dog always barks at nothing. Foot steps being heard from the kitchen when nobody else is home. And one night I had a bad nightmare and had to force myself awake to where I swear I saw someone standing at the foot of my bed. I’m not afraid to admit I’m in my early 20s and sleep with a night light now.
You're just imagining stuff. The door shut - it could've been a draft. Dogs are dogs. Fruit rots fast sometimes. Nightmares can happen.
My grandparents found a priest box with a 300 yr old skelton in it
My parents bought a house in a small the town that had been empty for 3 years, we moved in and we didn't know anyone so we didn't go and socialize for the neighbours or anything, fast forward a few months and I'm working with some local kids and topic gets to ghosts..
kid: "one of the houses on my street is haunted"
Me: "cool what street?"
Kid: "I live on (My street name) street number 2 is the haunted one"
Me: "that's.. My house"
Turns out some of my neighbours kids thought the house was haunted because they didn't know we'd moved in and suddenly saw lights on and figures in the windows.
My sister found a child's dress buried in the garden so she's still convinced the house is haunted.
Damn, I'm glad I never have to worry about haunted places or anything like that. I can go to the most haunted places known and there will be zero activity while I'm there.
Yet. :)
@@inukithesavage828 No. I mean I've literally walked into places that had weird stuff happening at the time, and had it just completely stop. Nothing like seeing all the stuff that had been floating in mid-air suddenly drop to the floor.
That last story makes me creeped out
This makes me scared to be alone in a house
Ghosts aren't real so.....
That baby skeleton. 😰
Another reason for reversed locks is for taking care of elderly parents with dementia and altzheimers. We took care of my grandma with dementia and had to reverse the locks because she would walk out of her room naked and walk down the street and sit in the neighbors back yards and say things like “she doesn’t have to wear pants she’s 2 years old.” And old people need diapers too so when she would take it off and have an accident it was pretty gross for everyone involved. When it develops into altzheimers they get violent. So backwards locks can actually be a sign of care in many cases
Not disturbing, but the cable guy was at a place I used to live in installing cable. As he’s doing his thing, he goes “I know this place! I used to party here!” Apparently it was a big party house back in the day.
your houses foundations is on an ancient indian burial ground
What (when in Australia) is a caravan? A mobile home/ trailer perhaps?
RV
@@naelyneurkopfen9741 -Thank you

"This is a transaction let me go first"
Not a ghost story, but when we bought our house in Tucson we had a bizarre few coincidences. 6 months after September 11, we closed and as we're on moving in day, two FBI agents showed up, ordered us to stop because they were "looking for anything the previous owners might have left" then while ones in the shed and the others in the attic, two people from the CIA show up.
One of the FBI agents knew the lady from the CIA. My husband and my small children are wondering what in God's name we've gotten ourselves into, and then the freaking doorbell rings again, it's a dude with a wrecker coming to reposess that last owner's cars. I can't remember if it was the FBI or the CIA agents but one of them told him the cars had been found abandoned at the airport and told him where he could claim them after they'd been searched "in a week or so" then as THAT'S happening a truck from a furniture rental place arrives. I'm *this* close to losing my shit at this point, but the only thing leftover was a broken lawnmower, which he took. (I was terrified they'd take the appliances.)
The agents finished up looking through EVERYTHING around like 6pm, and apologetically tell us how to submit a voucher to pay for a moving crew and another month of storage payments as it would be a bit until my husband could get time off and we had to send the kids who were helping us move home, which was nice. And they asked us to please save any mail that came for the old owners and they'd come collect it from us, and said if we found anything unusual to please let them know. (we told them what parts of the house we were planning on remodeling.)
We got a ton of financial notices for the prior owners, most troubling were requests for payment from a prestigious flight school the man was going to and dropped out of suddenly.
The icing on the paranioa cake occurred the next monsoon season, when every time it rained the phones died, and the AT&T guy found some sort of "bug" (listening device) on the line outside. Now, I have worked for a P.I. and private security company for well over 25 years now. I haven't see anything like it before or since.)
The FBI agent would come out once a month or so to get their mail, though eventually it dwindled to once every 3 to 6 months, but when I called about the thing one the phone line, he was there while my hair was still wet from the shower I was taking while the phone guy was there. He was very adamant about knowing who touched it, and left looking to track down the ATT guy.
The neighbors said they didn't have much contact with the previous owners. They were described to me as a quiet professional childless couple from Saudi Arabia, which struck me as weird as it was a BIG house. Too big for a couple, in a highly desirable school district, nobody else on the block was childless. I'm nosy by nature and to this day want to know wtaf went on in my house, but I've resigned myself to never really knowing. ☹️
La Doña Mariposa Vigilis damn that’s so weird I wonder if they were a part of isis or something like that. Maybe illegal immigrants but I don’t think they would go that far after they moved
@@simp1594 well, we made an offer on the house first day it came on the market. We really weren't thinking we'd get it as it I mentioned it was in a very desirable school district and there had been bidding wars in the subdivision, so we were pleasantly surprised they took the first offer. 🤷
Al Quaida, not Isis. Pay attention to the news, history.
@@thereisnosanctuary6184 I didn't specify any one terrorist organization in my post.
I was not ready for this nightmare fuel
Yep, the last one spooked me.
Aren’t realtors legally required to say if a crime happened there?
14:46 the baby skeleton was so they were curse that they would lose every child the woman had conceived
People actually do curses like that. Children are innocent and can be a threat to evil, so preventing them from being there allowed evil to thrive.
My uncles friend had to sell the amitiville house
Interesting, I love people who live in horror houses just to fuck with people on Halloween.
@@khloeschwerdtfeger5841 The Amityville House officially sold on February 2017 to an undisclosed owner for $605,000, which was $200,000 less than the original asking price. It had been previously owned by four other families since the murders, one of which had the address changed to 108 Ocean Ave. (The house originally stood at 112 Ocean Ave.)
So, yeah...
@@naelyneurkopfen9741 Yeah. My horror friend does tours for it so if they are willing to let people walk in their house then ghats weird
OMG, the baby skeletons in the wall. :(
All the dead babies are depressing. The soldier one was bad too, guy was just so broken that he murdered his own children and then killed himself. Mental health is a problem, people. Guy wouldn't have killed his kids if he weren't mentally unstable, his wife cheating on him being the last straw.
Also, the nun babies are why I don't like religion. The baby skeleton with the teddy bear was sad because a baby was dead, but oddly cute because whoever buried it in the wall put a teddy bear in the dead space with it.
:o im early yay
have a good day whoever is reading this!
7:42 not a loner, the proper term would be terrorist, psychopath
Real estate is more corrupt than mexican politics.
That's why it if you have money you could easily become a millionaire.
"Holy doggo"
Do you baby dumping as seen in many convents is actually a relic of Roman culture as women who do not want their babies could discard them and after birth with no repercussions.
Can’t beat a good deal😂
Who here looked up "Bridget the Midget in a hottub"?
Well your comment made me and... i also learned that she was recently arrested for stabbing her boyfriend in the leg with a butterknife. So thanks for that.
@@Screaminglemon631 what can I say exept, you're welcome, for the shit you saw online :p
I love your videos, you magnificent robot. Yay
Okay. Tried to listened. Just revolting
