The internet is full of creepy and crazy true stories, and this one has to be one of the freakiest things I’ve ever come across.
If you don’t lock your doors, now is the time to start. This young woman never used to lock hers…until she found a stranger’s tooth in her bedroom.
“I live alone in a fairly large house. In my bedroom I have a door that leads outside to a small porch,” she started out by saying.
“I was just sweeping the ebony-stained wood floors, which I frequently do because they show every speck of dirt. I just found this TOOTH right in front of the door, on my bedroom floor.”
“This has not been there. I was so shocked to find it I actually stood there and ran my tongue over my teeth to see if it might be my own.”
Here’s who that tooth ended up belonging to…
Internet users were quick to insist that she had to check her house and see if there were other signs of someone having been inside.
After sitting in silence trying to pick up any sounds that someone in her house would be making, she bravely started to investigate.
Honestly, I would have just called the police and left at this point, but she said she lives in a place where it takes the police a while to get there. She decided to take matters into her own hands and start investigating all on her own.
She ended up checking her attic to see if perhaps a person was hiding up there. The first thing she noticed was a smudged handprint on the door leading up there that wasn’t hers.
At first, she didn’t see much up there in the attic, but after she found a taller ladder, she was shocked at what she found. Someone had absolutely been in her attic. She found tissues, little toys, and clothing of hers that had been missing for more than a whole year.
The police arrived, dusted her attic for fingerprints, and took away the things she found up there for evidence. She never thought to lock her doors in her house because only around 400 people live in her town, and it’s not exactly the kind of place you need to do something like that.
And then, it came to light who that person in her attic was.
“It’s my 70-something year old, married forever to the same woman, church deacon, father of 4, grandfather to 6, pillar of the community, neighbor,” she revealed in an update on the situation.
Insane, right? Please lock your doors if you don’t already!
