You think you\u2019ve found weird stuff cleaning out your house? Try competing with the folks around Lubbock. We asked listeners to tell us the strangest thing they\u2019ve ever discovered in their home or apartment. The answers ranged from hilarious to downright horrifying. From mystery bottles and mummified cats to forgotten guitars and ghostly liquor deliveries, these finds prove one thing: you never really know what\u2019s hiding in the walls, vents, or couch cushions of a West Texas home.<\/p>\n

Whether it\u2019s something left behind by a previous tenant, a sign of mischief, or just one of life\u2019s mysteries, these discoveries remind us that West Texas homes have character \u2014 sometimes too much of it.<\/p>\n A Little Something From Me<\/p>\n
Richard Simmons Sweatin\u2019 to the Oldies. Classic find.<\/p>\n
The day after I brought Muriel home, she found a bag of weed under the couch that a house-sitter had left. I keep hoping she\u2019ll find more, but that\u2019s been my only score. She\u2019s officially a marijuana retriever.<\/p>\n
A TV tray from the show ALF that said something about eating someone else\u2019s lunch.<\/p>\n
Possum. Just\u2026 possum.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve been a landlord for 30 years. Bodies, dildos, a goat\u2014you name it.<\/p>\n
A shotgun blast in the wall next to the door. Probably a drive-by aimed at the last tenant. (Ave T near LHS, for the record.)<\/p>\n
Four shedding dogs and no visitors means the weirdest thing is WHERE the dog hair gets. There\u2019s hair in unopened Doritos bags. HOW?!<\/p>\n
Huge rubber \ud83c\udf46 in the A\/C vent.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a toss-up between me and my dog\u2026 definitely one of us.<\/p>\n
Found a kid\u2019s Spider-Man backpack in a hoarder\u2019s house. Inside? A massive meth crystal (thought it was quartz) and about a dozen multicolored dildos.<\/p>\n
Something kept sneaking in at night, eating only flowers and Chick-fil-A sauce packets\u2014never touched cookies or veggies. We called it The Creature.<\/p>\n
Dad left home, came back to find a freshly opened bottle of Tito\u2019s vodka sitting on the counter. He only drinks whiskey. All doors were locked. No signs of entry. We poured it out and changed the locks.<\/p>\n
Woke up to a random guy passed out on our couch. Neither roommate knew him. Later, I found a note saying,\u00a0\u201cIf you let people stay, kick \u2019em out.\u201d<\/p>\n
A single slice of American cheese stuck perfectly to the ceiling fan. Nobody in the house has any memory of how it got there.<\/p>\n
Found a \u201cdilly do\u201d on the catwalk at work during night shift.<\/p>\n
My ex-wife.<\/p>\n
Got out of jail, came home to a broken window and a mummified cat carcass.<\/p>\n
An entire Barbie leg in the freezer. Just the leg. Wrapped like it was waiting for a ransom exchange.<\/p>\n
A red 1962 Airline guitar just chilling in the attic. Called the last owner\u2014she said, \u201cKeep it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Previous owner\u2019s grandma. In a box. In ash form. Lost her five years later\u2014she owes me rent.<\/p>\n
My son set a plastic cup on fire on a \u201csafe\u201d ceramic plate\u2026 on the carpet. Now we have a permanent reminder of his experiment.<\/p>\n
Wished for $20, did laundry, and found $20 in a hoodie under the bed. Manifestation works, y\u2019all.<\/p>\n
While renovating an old mobile home, a knife hidden above a cabinet, a syringe, and a 1974 Coke can fell from the ceiling. Time capsule from chaos.<\/p>\n
A note under the floorboard that said, \u201cNice try. We moved the gold.\u201d I don\u2019t know if I\u2019m more confused or offended.<\/p>\n
