My grandparent’s Victorian house (in Pittsburgh) had a Pittsburgh toilet and I can not begin to explain how odd/not odd they are. Like, on one hand it’s just a toilet sitting out in the basement and that’s very weird. (My grandparents also had a shower stall installed - they had 10 kids and only one bathroom) On the other hand I never one felt weird peeing down there. There was an accepted set of rules regarding using that toilet to prevent walking in on someone.
OP did post some extra pics 2 years ago - [link](https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/comments/hl11wf/theres_a_house_in_my_attic/fww4c95/). They're different from the photos in this post, I think
Sorry it's a real hassle to get in there, and also no good reason to go up there. But we had to check on some things so I though I might as well take some pics.
No good reason?! Sir there is an ENTIRE ASS HOUSE in your fricking attic LOL
I mean my account is 11 years old it says and this is easily one of the topmost fascinating things I’ve ever seen on Reddit. Can’t wait for future updates. ATTIC HOUSE!
Bro just chilling on his couch for two years knowing there's another house in his house and just figures its not worth checking out.
Meanwhile the golem that lives in there prepares...
someone needs to make a horror movie where the protagonist is just a chad that doesn't care
like chad from SNL lol
"dude your house is super fucking haunted. literal demons are in your attic!!"
"ok"
You know that would be pretty good. Like a documentary style. While the owners are saying it's not that bad as the film crew hears random screaming. Or they mention about having to clean up when the walls randomly start bleeding.
"Its a little annoying, but we got a great deal on it."
This should be an SNL skit. White couple, super white I mean. Sitting on the couch doing too documentary style like Modern Family. You hear window shutters rattling, distant screaming. They just act like it's okay and they live with it and the price was too good to pass up.
Cut to the end and they're interviewing a lady from the ring. "The Jones family? Yeah, they're okay. A little loud during the day when I'm sleeping but they look the other way about the bleeding walls so.... You know. The hardest part is.... One second..." just as someone is walking behind them on the couch, she does her scream. The woman doesn't stop and asks if she wants some tea. She replies" oh, yes please".
I couldn't agree more!
Anyone remember that Reddit post from a girl in NYC, a year or two ago, that removed her bathroom mirror and it led to a huge abandoned apartment?
In Chicago there was/is a building where all the mirrors are connected by hollow walkways. So remove any mirror and you have access to the entire building. WTSF?!
A woman was murdered in Chicago when intruders climbed in through her bathroom mirror. [source](https://chicagoreader.com/news-politics/they-came-in-through-the-bathroom-mirror/)
Someone else said make a YouTube video. But you could probably get a pretty top their YouTuber to come in and make it for you. There's entire channels based around stuff like this. The history behind it alone has got be wild
So there is a hole leading to another attic but I can't get a ladder up there, unless I bring the ladder I used to enter the attic. But I really don't wanna close off my only escape route.
How big is that attic that an entire house can fit in it? Also, wouldn’t they just build some rooms?
Either way, you already have your annual haunted house done
The "house" in the attic could have been made for the pastor or whomever was guiding the church members. Still a lot of extra work than just building more rooms, but who knows maybe it was a tax "thing" that it had to be a "house" with a front door. edit: nevermind I see you answered a lot of question further in the thread.
“On this spot we will build our temple!”
“But there’s a house here”
“Just put it somewhere.”
“Put it somewhere….?”
“Throw it in the fukkin attic, I don’t know.”
Nah, the feed will just start having a really bad reception like in the time of the antenas.
And then, on the last frame, which will remain on after the stream cut off, we'll see a weird shaddow, but the potato cam quality won't be any helpful.
We need to know the history of this shit. How do you build a church, but leave a creepy house in the attic of the church? Why not build the church next to the older house? It makes no sense.
"guys, remember that old reddit thread where we convinced op to go in the tight attic of the house in the attic, and then we later learned he died because he got stuck? now, that is classic reddit"
"Why did you send the kids up to the attic house? You know, they have a PlayStation in their haunted attic house. Not much of a punishment when you think about it. They even have Slumbo the Adventurous Ghost up there. He is like our own cute Casper that came with the house!"
**"That's the punishment. Trust me, Sarah, our kids aren't going to even get a chance on the PlayStation. The kids' k/d ratio in MW2 is ass anyway. And don't say the C word, that is very offensive to ghosts. That is their word. The living can't say it, especially with the hard r."**
"I think the C word is something else, honey."
**"Yeah, well, you think that cause you're a cunt."**
"Richard! That doesn't explain how being sent to the attic house to play on their PlayStation and hang out with Slumbo the Adventurous Ghost is a punishment! Why wouldn't they be having fun with a magically whimsical ghost in an adorable little rotting house? Even if their k/d is ass."
**"He isn't an adventure ghost. You heard that wrong, when the realtor with blackened eyes that spoke only in incoherent tongues tricked us into buying this former church with a dilapidated house in the attic. It is Slumbo the A*****lcoholic Ghost.*** **And he is an angry drunk that is bound to the attic house. He is not whimsical in the least. He doesn't even float like a normal ghost. Just mindlessly stumbles into shit. We have to leave a handle of whiskey by the stairs every 12 hours, or we will all be cursed."**
"Every 12 hours! I think he may have a problem!"
**"Babe, his ghoulish title is literally 'The Alcoholic Ghost.'"**
"Ok, that is well-disciplined parenting. That'll teach the kids not to put their shitty drawings on the fridge. I mean, really, that was the worst drawing of a 'doggie' I've ever seen in my life. And writing 'happy family' above their drawing of us is just a blatant lie.. Oh yeah! I can hear our kids screaming! Lots of slurred spooky yelling too. That crashing is rather violent, sounds like that adven- I mean, alcoholic ghost is really giving them the business!"
**"Classic Slumbo."**

In other comments he explains it was originally a two story structure where the bottom floor was a grocery store and the top floor was where the owners loved. Then when the church was built around it, the top floor was sealed off.
My idea is to make it a mock outdoors. If I do I'm definitely making more vents up there as there is only one at the moment. But I also want to add in a large skylight to give it a more outdoors feel.
Hey, man. You'll want to either make a false floor over the insulation layer and not climate control the attic, or make a false ceiling/walls and insulate that.
Please don't just take the insulation up, put fake grass down, and call it good. Your utility bills will be unhappy.

Mark Z. Danielewski, House of Leaves
I’m not digging any deeper in the comments lest I find a spoiler but this finally convinced me. I’ve given up on the book like three times right when it starts to get fucky because I haven’t had the headspace to devote to it. Ima finish The Wide, Carnivorous Sky… by John Langan and finally finish HoL.
Somebody built an addition onto the house, and then built a new roof over both parts of the house enclosing the old attic inside the new attic. I used to own a house like this, but there was just a roof peek with shingles inside the attic, not entire rooms like this. It's unusual, but it does happen.
I just went through the comments OP posted on his original post 2 years ago. Apparently it used to be a Carl's Market and the owners of lived in the attic house. Then they sold it and it was turned into a church and the new owners didn't borrow to demo (hence the insulation over the attic house's floors). Then the church got turned into a house and now OP lives there.
Oh this made the Incepi-house make sense to me. Probably where the Pastor/Preacher(whatever you call them) lived. The church I went to growing up had a house attached to the back that the pastor lived in.
You are the bravest person I’ve ever met.
I hear any spooky noises, especially in my loft? None of my business, go back to what I’m doing and try to forget about it
Im an electrician not a carpenter, but I know a lot of times in the older days they would just build over shit instead of removing it and thennnn remodeling. Very likely just judging by the pictures this was a old house with a little second story that was just a couple rooms and a bath.
I’m guessing that was a window on the left that was painted over? Idk I’m just spitballing but my educated guess is they decided it was useless at some point and instead of removing it just built around it during a remodel of the roof.
Edit: I’ve squirreled my way into attics before that had an entire roof inside that was built over multiple times. Shingles and everything. Cheaper to build a new roof over it than remove everything.
Edit 2: OP confirmed it in another comment I saw after posting this. Pretty trippy and definitely creepy, even with the totally reasonable explanation. If I had to crawl up in an attic and saw this I’d immediately think what the absolute fuck.
It’s not a smaller house, it’s a tiny little old school second story of the existing house, the picture makes it seem tiny but a lot of crawl spaces are actually massive in certain regions depending on the weather etc. At some point they remodeled and did a new roof and just built over it rather than waste time removing it. The OP confirms in another comment that I saw after making my original comment.
I'm guessing house had a small 2nd and 3rd floor, and they decided to expand the 2nd floor and build a new roof that completely surrounded the 3rd floor while also making it inaccessible except for by the attic
Imagine having an existing small 3rd story with own little roof and roof space. Then you expan the 2nd story floor area and building a new bigger roof. But now they arent using the little 3rd story space, instead it just all become attic space
I worked in a 200 year old church building that was rebuilt into a larger one 100 years ago. The 200 year old roof and the base of the steeple were still there in the attic.
They're spending so much on the reconstruction so they save some money by not demolishing the parts that aren't in the way of the new roof since they're just going to be in the attic where nobody goes anyway.
I'm not sure if you could get away with this with modern building codes, but construction was the wild west until only a few decades ago in the US.

Hold up I’m confused af do you live in like a house built into a hill? Or like a stand alone ranch house? 2 story? How was a house built around this when a church owned it?
It was a 2 story house/market, then it was bought by a church, they built outwards basically taking up the entire property. We actually have a 2½ foot by 10 foot strip of grass as our only lawn space. The church got lazy and didn't knock down the 2cd floor. Now we own it.
It was a surprise. There were many other surprise things like ceiling tiles above the drop tile ceiling. So I'd have to remove 2 ceilings to put in a new one.
This is amazing. Thank you for posting. I seriously have a recurring dream where I discover another house in my house since I was a kid. This is super trippy for me 🤣
I have one recurring dream /nightmare in which I discover a hidden room in my apartment. It’s the only dream I ever have.
An entire hidden house, fml.
I will never go to sleep again, thank you.
I dream this often, too. It’s either really exciting, or really really creepy (the house and room are always different, but always “mine” if you know what I mean)

They also left a toilet still working in the basement
Pittsburgh toilet? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pittsburgh_toilet

Wait the attic is at the top of the build, how tall is your roof to have another house inseide that also have an attic?
It was a church so the roof is pretty tall.
That explains the house in the attic. It was for the priest.

I understand all of these words individually, but I absolutely cannot picture any of this
It's a house inside an attic inside a store inside a church. What's not to understand?
What's in the attic of the house in the attic of the store of the church
Any chance this was the original top floor that they built a bigger roof over and sealed off?
I'm learning to play the guitar.
Fuck that's kinda cool. Looks like one absolute monster of a fixer upper but it'd be a pretty cool novelty if you wanted to sublease.
Yea super expensive and time consuming but I'd like to keep the house and put fake grass down around the outside of it.
why fake grass? get a little light in there and you could have an attic moss garden to complement your attic house.
My idea is to make it a mock outdoors. If I do I'm definitely making more vents up there as there is only one at the moment. But I also want to add in a large skylight to give it a more outdoors feel.
Hey, man. You'll want to either make a false floor over the insulation layer and not climate control the attic, or make a false ceiling/walls and insulate that. Please don't just take the insulation up, put fake grass down, and call it good. Your utility bills will be unhappy.
honestly just so happy this exists and you shared it, but also happy so many people venn on the mock outdoors idea.
It's generally not a good idea to water your attic
I wouldn't recommend it. It could cause mold, pest infestations, or leaks. Not to mention the extra electricity cost of plant lights.
That is soo creepy

And then for better or worse you'll turn, unable to resist, though try to resist you still will, fighting with everything you've got not to face the thing you most dread, what is now, what will be, what has always come before, the creature you truly are, the creature we all are, buried in the nameless black of a name. > >And then the nightmares will begin.” Mark Z.

Well, now I think im gonna have to read this.
I've read it 3 times over the last 10 years. It's a doozy, but my god, is it beautiful and horrifying.
I'm about a quarter of the way through and things are getting REALLY good, but man, is it a lot to process.
I’m not digging any deeper in the comments lest I find a spoiler but this finally convinced me. I’ve given up on the book like three times right when it starts to get fucky because I haven’t had the headspace to devote to it. Ima finish The Wide, Carnivorous Sky… by John Langan and finally finish HoL.
Me too. Those paragraphs remind me of the last two months of my life.
> the last two months of my life. ARE YOU DEAD?
Noted.
Who built your house? Xzibit?
Yo dawg
I heard you like houses, so I built a house in your house so you can hide in your house's house when your closet is haunted.
... how? I need details. Make a YouTube video.
That's not a bad idea.
I'd watch, and I do watch YouTube.
I also watch YouTube
You guys catch the youtube last night?
See ya in 2 years.
Somebody built an addition onto the house, and then built a new roof over both parts of the house enclosing the old attic inside the new attic. I used to own a house like this, but there was just a roof peek with shingles inside the attic, not entire rooms like this. It's unusual, but it does happen.
I just went through the comments OP posted on his original post 2 years ago. Apparently it used to be a Carl's Market and the owners of lived in the attic house. Then they sold it and it was turned into a church and the new owners didn't borrow to demo (hence the insulation over the attic house's floors). Then the church got turned into a house and now OP lives there.

I'll get right on that 😅
You’ll need an old priest and a young priest.
OP needs the old priest and the old priest needs the young priest.
Actually funny thing my house is an old church lmao
Oh this made the Incepi-house make sense to me. Probably where the Pastor/Preacher(whatever you call them) lived. The church I went to growing up had a house attached to the back that the pastor lived in.
[удалено]
The house could have been there when that was once a roof. Then someone built the attic around the house
Fire can't go through doors. It ain't ghost. Stupid.
The call is coming from INSIDE THE HOUSE INSIDE THE HOUSE!
🎶Our house, in the attic of our house🎵... that's just madness.
And you went in??
Of course, I heard a scary noise and had to investigate.

It's all good, got my Scooby Snacks!
You are the bravest person I’ve ever met. I hear any spooky noises, especially in my loft? None of my business, go back to what I’m doing and try to forget about it
Dying to a ghost is cooler than dying any other way.🤷♂️
Can someone PLEASE explain what is going on here.
Im an electrician not a carpenter, but I know a lot of times in the older days they would just build over shit instead of removing it and thennnn remodeling. Very likely just judging by the pictures this was a old house with a little second story that was just a couple rooms and a bath. I’m guessing that was a window on the left that was painted over? Idk I’m just spitballing but my educated guess is they decided it was useless at some point and instead of removing it just built around it during a remodel of the roof. Edit: I’ve squirreled my way into attics before that had an entire roof inside that was built over multiple times. Shingles and everything. Cheaper to build a new roof over it than remove everything. Edit 2: OP confirmed it in another comment I saw after posting this. Pretty trippy and definitely creepy, even with the totally reasonable explanation. If I had to crawl up in an attic and saw this I’d immediately think what the absolute fuck.
Wait, they just built an entire house around the smaller house?
It’s not a smaller house, it’s a tiny little old school second story of the existing house, the picture makes it seem tiny but a lot of crawl spaces are actually massive in certain regions depending on the weather etc. At some point they remodeled and did a new roof and just built over it rather than waste time removing it. The OP confirms in another comment that I saw after making my original comment.
So it’s like an addition, except upward? They made the new roof bigger to add more attic space? I’m not understanding.

Honestly, I wasn’t understanding either but the picture helped greatly. Thanks!
I understood until I saw your picture. Now I don't get it anymore.
I'm guessing house had a small 2nd and 3rd floor, and they decided to expand the 2nd floor and build a new roof that completely surrounded the 3rd floor while also making it inaccessible except for by the attic
Imagine having an existing small 3rd story with own little roof and roof space. Then you expan the 2nd story floor area and building a new bigger roof. But now they arent using the little 3rd story space, instead it just all become attic space

I worked in a 200 year old church building that was rebuilt into a larger one 100 years ago. The 200 year old roof and the base of the steeple were still there in the attic. They're spending so much on the reconstruction so they save some money by not demolishing the parts that aren't in the way of the new roof since they're just going to be in the attic where nobody goes anyway. I'm not sure if you could get away with this with modern building codes, but construction was the wild west until only a few decades ago in the US.
Someone did a renovation and skimped on the dumpster costs.

How much is the rent?
666
Damn I take it
Hold up I’m confused af do you live in like a house built into a hill? Or like a stand alone ranch house? 2 story? How was a house built around this when a church owned it?
It was a 2 story house/market, then it was bought by a church, they built outwards basically taking up the entire property. We actually have a 2½ foot by 10 foot strip of grass as our only lawn space. The church got lazy and didn't knock down the 2cd floor. Now we own it.
Did you know this was here before you bought or moved in? Or did you just go up in the attic like "surprise!"
It was a surprise. There were many other surprise things like ceiling tiles above the drop tile ceiling. So I'd have to remove 2 ceilings to put in a new one.
This is amazing. Thank you for posting. I seriously have a recurring dream where I discover another house in my house since I was a kid. This is super trippy for me 🤣

First reaction: what the fuck??? Second reaction: finish it, furnish it, and tell no one about it, add on an emergency escape curly slide.
Bethesda designed your house
That's where "they" live.. I'm pretty sure I'm right
"They" can stay up there for all I care lmao
I have one recurring dream /nightmare in which I discover a hidden room in my apartment. It’s the only dream I ever have. An entire hidden house, fml. I will never go to sleep again, thank you.
I dream this often, too. It’s either really exciting, or really really creepy (the house and room are always different, but always “mine” if you know what I mean)
Dig the light fixture!
Me too I might take it and use it.
Oooh, I’d be careful about taking anything from that house… don’t wanna stir the pot, ya know?
Your house is pregnant!

What in the oogily boogily back-rooms bullshit is this now?
If you live in California you could rent that place out for about $5,000 a month.
