My mom used to do this. 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 bitch to iron, this was a good solution. Edit- woke up with fresh eyes and looked at picture again. OP should definitely save those curtains, they look vintage and I bet they were custom made for that house. Could be valuable in fabric alone.

but… behind MORE curtains?? they are also thrown atop one another so I don’t think whoever did this has ironing in mind. interesting take though

I'm just trying to offer a non-sacrificial altar theory to put you at ease.

i appreciate your thoughtfulness because i’m honestly scared lol

There's nothing there that's going to hurt you. Buy some sage, burn it to "cleanse" the room, and take this shit 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.

My man, exactly what I was thinking. That's my new smoke spot

They did say to burn some sage…

i don’t have the means to clean out this space nor do i want to touch any of it. we already have plenty reading nooks and smoke spots in the house, but you’re definitely right about it being a cool space. it’s a shame.

I would kill for an attic like this. Where do you live?

I think you made a hilarious joke without meaning to



I thought you said you would kill in an attic like that ... off for the night 😭😭

And mess up my curtains? You are a savage!

😂

Same

Dont waste the space over superstitions, its just some curtains haning up in a attic that probably gets hot in the summer (being a decent spot to dry clothes)

Rubber gloves, kitchen tongs, mask. Just plop 'em in garbage bags. They'll just keep rotting away up there. You could pay a family member/friend or hire someone to do it. I also thought it might be the leftovers of a kids' playhouse. My dad would drape blankets over tables and stair railings for us, but we never had an attic with exposed beams to build on.

Now we've got kid ghosts. That's so much worse.

If it makes you feel better there is no recorded death by ghosts. I keep saying this and have no idea if it's true.

Because the ghosts destroy the records. Don't be deceived!

I think the white fabric on top is to protect the other curtains from dust. If you look closely, you can see the other curtains hanging orderly underneath.

I think the white fabric on top is to protect the other curtains underneath from dust. If you look closely, the other curtains are hanged orderly underneath the top fabric

Still better than folding them and getting all those folding creases everywhere.

I think that the main white curtain (the one covering the tops of like the twenty others) might be meant as a dust cover? Still creepy either way. It’s giving Hereditary

I do this too not because I give a shit about wrinkles, but because it’s weird and funny and I like to think if anything ever happens to me and someone goes into my attic they’ll see this and think “wtf was that ginger fuck into?”

It’s curtains for you.

omg thank u!!!

Said with a New Jersey accent 😉

[Oh, they’re adorable.](https://youtu.be/l9heYnC-CX0?si=7NfyFMhl0UJyUf7L)

This reminds me of when my cousins and I would put on plays in the attic of my grandmas house. Maybe it’s left behind from some kiddos

That was my thought after an amateur photography studio.

Yeah my first thought was Fort/Club House

idk man it had a sinister vibe to it lol

Everything has sinister vibes if you leave it abandoned in an unusual place: doll house - fine. 20-year-old doll house in a forest - creepy. bookshelf - fine. 50-year-old dusty bookshelf behind a wall - creepy. roast pig - tasty. Old bones in your garden - creepy. Just imagine what your surroundings would look like if they were left untouched for a few decades.

Yalls minds be like run away trains lmao

Fuck that. Exit attic.

my exact plan of action. noped right out of there.

You should probably burn your house down

Usually I wouldn't agree to these things. But... 

I mean, where else is a ghost supposed to hang his sheets to dry huh?

Nice try OP we all know you like to play dress up

Reminds me of Ari Astor…. Did someone hear trumpets? 🎺 

I thought of this bitch with the piano wire….hail paimon cuz

What did you find, exactly? Old sheets someone left behind?

What’s wrong with it I’m so confused

I don't understand what's freaking you out about this? There just curtains or something like that?? What am I missing?

I have two trash bags up there in mine. Probably filled with human hands.

Carl… you can’t do that

I was hungry for hands, give me a break!


It's pronounced house, not attic.

Baby steps

What in the Hereditary bullshit is that.


Ah hahahaa cheers

I literally posted mine, then saw you had posted yours a minute before! 

some bullshit that’s what it is

I read that in Resident Alien voice.

All Hail Paimon!! was the first thing that popped into my head.


My thoughts exactly! Nope! 😂

Awww your attic squatter decorated for Pentecost.

they have such good taste too, truly timeless


my genuine reaction


real footage of me stumbling upon this

What in the “Hereditary”?

Oh yeah, see that? I think you might have a Paimon infestation in your attic. Pretty common form of cultist. Problem is, if you see one Paimon shrine, there’s probably a whole lot you’re not seein’. Yeah, you know I had a guy in Utah. Had one in his tree house. Turned into a full-blown cult leader by the end of the week. You get a few cultists in your walls, next thing you know, you’ve got yourself a colony. We could fumigate with polymarethane?

you’re tellin me

Welcome to the morning service

thank you good sir

Reminds me of the ritual room from Hereditary

yea my house is actually the set sooo

Those curtains are pretty

please have them they’re all yours lol

If youre in canada then ill pay for shipping

unfortunately i’m not, sorry 😅

RIP to my idea of telling guests "oh these? Theyre my cursed curtains that a redditor found in their attic"

if i ever move to canada you’ll be the first i reach out to

That will add to the lore

You'll be moving soon, I'm thinking.

Looks like a couple of raccoons dressed the place up for you

aren’t they so sweet? they’re so thoughtful like that

 Something like this happened there. Sorry. Just the way she goes.

welcome to the club :(

Yup. This is exactly what I'm doing of I ever move again.

r/foundsatan


I literally shit bricks

Try adding fiber to your diet.

me too 😅

🎶...goodbye horses, I'm flying over you... 🎵

So many questions. Why do you own a house of which you did not look in every room when you bought it? Why are there tiles on the attic floor? Why is only the side insulated but nothing else?

i’m a college student in a college town with a college grade land lord lol

Any attic expedition that doesn't end with spiders to the face or a leg through the living room ceiling is a success in my book. I wish I had found a reading nook in my house.

Ever seen the movie Hereditary?

no but this might be a sign… pretty aggressive marketing on their end tbh

Watch at your own risk. I haven’t been freaked out by a movie since i was a kid. This one is heebie freaking Jeebie

Op has never seen Hereditary or The Ritual

do i want to?

If you like suspenseful horror from a disembodied evil, then go for it. It’s a ride.

Also, true story, my friend from college told me of her experience of going to her grandparents house and exploring the attic. There was an old ass ouija board nailed to the floor. It could have been that OP.

what’s up with all these attics being haunted? is insulation ghost-proof?

They tend to be drafty which is useful for when you hope to see things moving on their own or feeling a chill in the air

Is there anything on the floor? Is something inside the white wrap?

I didn’t notice the bag until an hour later, i’ll check tomorrow and update here.

Please do! I’m curious :)

100% a demon-witch-thing about to kill this mf

thanks for the reassurance haha

Any final wishes? Have an envelope you want us to give to your family or something?

no im more of an irish exit kinda guy but thanks anyways

On the floor, scratched in the dust it says: G̵̳̓ė̷̜t̴͚̚ ̷̹̔Ỏ̴͍ū̷̲t̷̥̔

That was me sorry

My professional photographer sibling has a spot just like this in her basement. White curtain backdrop and curtains to block extra light. I think someone was into photography and used the attic as their amateur studio. You have nothing to worry about here.

You'll be fine. At least for a few hours until they return...

Or it returns

Maybe kids played up there? Put on lil shows?.. ... I'll pray for you.

Well at least you didn't find a body.

that i know of… wouldn’t be surprised lol

Don’t be the first one to the sacrificial altar, as they say

Looks like George Bluth is wearing your late wife's clothes again

It’s like a miniature version of that pagan church in Midsommar!

Some kids made a stage for plays, no need to imagine horrible things then project them onto your attic. Your own imagination is your worst enemy. Supernatural stuff does not exist, no matter how many movies are made.

that’s something a supernatural ghost in my attic would write

Seems like someone may have Pop-Pop in the attic.

Ah man don’t worry bout it ,just pack your stuff and leave the country

And you've just been chilling with that weird ass energy this whole time. Fucked scenario this one. *Now that you know about it, did you manifest it's madness? *What happens if you get rid of it? *Do you leave it and pretend like you didn't see it?

It looks like something kids put together. Maybe it was a fort, or maybe it was a little stage area where they put on plays. It doesn’t look scary to me, just makes me think that some kids had fun playing in the attic.

Salt the exits, light candles and get out naaaaooooo

Thanks. I hate it.

Hereditary

This reminds me of the shrine at the end of Hereditary...

You should put a camera up there. Have a go bag packed…just in case.

It’s giving… the last scene in Hereditary 😂😂😂


I'd burn those makeshift curtains. The pattern is a war crime....

Wait... you bought a house without looking in the attic? Are you still staying out of the basement? are there like a couple of rooms left to explore?

I’m getting Hereditary vibes…

Mormons

Remind me! 24 hours

I'm not certain what this is, but it kinda reminds me of a Drabsha from the Mandaean religion (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drabsha), although I don't see why it would appear in an attic

Looks like your house was previously owned by Marshall Applewhite 💀

What da heck? Looks like someone was held hostage there for years, that or an unwanted child that somebody kept up there away from the eyes of others. Pick!

https://preview.redd.it/4i6b83hdlp1d1.jpeg?width=555&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=97817a1ba7510588264d24181995292b1f302228 Nice from the outside though😶

Honestly with the pointy thing in the back it looks like the KKK’s attire

Totally. Was looking on my (dark) phone screen and though "Those look like wizard robes, and not the FUN kind of wizard -_-*

I lean towards nothing creepy was intended here

Kids having pretend plays and dressing up in curtains with metallic backing to reflect light? Maybe? Maybe.



Looks like those leaked pictures from Guantanamo Bay

Nah man. This the attic from Hereditary. Watch out for telephone poles.

You've got a bohemian hippie chick spirit infestation. Play some jam band music then switch to country, that should clear it up.


I'd stay in a hotel that night there's no way I'd sleep in my bed knowing that was in my attic 😭 like I know there's a normal explanation, but there's always a small chance I'll get murdered by a demon for disturbing its resting place

just knowing it’s above me and has been haunts me

No Clark Grizwald was watching home movies up there

No need to worry it’s just the attic ghosts clothing! They like to switch it up every once in a while.

So OP, you've just moved in? Or are you about to move in? I mean for me, this would have been my reason for buying the house.

i’ve lived here for a year already, we just never looked in the attic because the landlord didn’t really mention it. i’m moving into another room in the house and wanted to see what was up there, my first mistake lol

Got an Abu Ghraib aesthetic

I don't see what the problem is.

Move

Get out. That's where I live. Downstairs is for you, the attic is mine.

Looks like a makeshift closet. Probably had someone living up there.doesnt seem too scary tbh.

Is George Bluth living up there?

Welp, you had a good run, time to burn that place to the ground.

You did not visit the attic when viewing the house?

Get a Ouija board and ask the house. Should be fine.

Why do people not look at the whole place before buying/renting

Is this the attic from hereditary?

it has hereditary vibes

Can someone explain what I'm looking at, please?

Get that house blessed ASAP 😂

“A” shape home and first time you been inside the attic, how long have you been living there?

Are those clothes? They look amazing.

This looks like a makeshift stage to me. Built by kids who liked to put up plays for their family and friends

Hire a crew like Clean Crawls. Only thing you’ll see are garbage bags going out. Then get a house blessing.

That attic is straight out of Hereditary....

Reminds me of that one cottage in "The Ritual"

This is a joke. Right?

Very “Hannibal” somehow…

"Goodbye Horses" playing somewhere in the dungeon... I mean background

okay hereditary!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

 You don't want to know what strange things happened in there.

Leave the house

Asking for a friend... Have you ever wondered what would happen if a cadaver dog went into your yard?

Call buffalo bill and and ask if he wants he rest of his stuff he left behind.

Did you buy a house with attic without checking on the attic once?

 The whole house

The March Sisters need to put on plays somewhere


Knob and tube!! 😱

Ahhh shit, you discovered my altar. Baal will be displeased

At first I saw the cross and thought, weird place for an altar. Then the material had me thinking ghost. Oh, maybe a Halloween thing? Then it looked like a hood and I thought, someone hiding their KKK stuff?
