“This was back in the late ’90s. My then-husband and I lived in a one-story house that had been built in 1923. It was pretty cold and drafty in the winter, so we decided to get some additional insulation in the attic. I call it an attic, but it was more like a crawl space accessed by one of those pull-down stairs apparatuses. It had a very low ceiling so you couldn’t really stand up all the way and there was no real floor, just the ceiling joists with drywall underneath.”
“Husband went up there before the insulation install to make sure there weren’t any items left by the previous owners. There was a tiny window at the front of the attic letting in a little bit of light and he could see the silhouette of something small right up by the window. It was the only thing up there.
He picked his way over there very carefully, making sure to step on the cross beams of the joists and hunch over because of the low ceiling and found an old coffee can with pieces of an old porcelain doll in it — a head, an arm, etc.
He said felt so creeped out and disturbed. Someone had to really work to put it up there, it wasn’t just some weird item you might find discarded in the yard or forgotten in a garage. He left it there and we never went back up in the attic again.“
