50 Spooky Things People Discovered In Their New Homes After Moving In And It's Giving Us Horror Movie Chills

Most of our favorite horror movies usually begin with a new family moving into an old house that they bought—because, for some reason, these people seem to be fond of ancient-looking houses that just scream murder and ghosts. These stories are typically set into motion when one of the family members discovers something odd, wreaking havoc in their lives.

But what if, in real life, you actually find something strange in a new house you just moved into? People in movies often find secret rooms and passages or even real bodies—and yes, some of these occurrences do happen in real life as well, as shown in the collection of photos below.

Let's face it: realtors are not the most reliable and honest people out there, and they often withhold information about the property they are selling just to get it off the market. This may explain why these houses appeal so much to some families.

There are many inspections to conduct when moving into a new house, and most homeowners make it their business to check every corner of the house—and by every corner, I mean literally every corner. This is when they stumble upon the weirdest things, which can sometimes be considered creepy as hell.

Most of the time, these discoveries are sought out of sheer curiosity, and sometimes, they uncover clues that lead them to find these things. Take a look at some real-life examples of this!

1. A secret door in a room

3. A surprise

“Just moved into my first house about two weeks ago. I'm just starting to get settled in. I bought the house for a very cheap price. The previous owner was very old and passed away. The house is quite old, but for the price, it was perfect for a first home.
When I first toured the house, the basement was much worse than it is now. The previous owner hadn’t moved anything out yet. The basement was pretty full of junk. They cleaned most of the stuff out, so I had to clear some things out myself. But here it is now, with some items that I don’t really need and will probably get rid of soon.

While sorting things out in the basement, I noticed this sheet of plywood that oddly fit in. I have had the house for two weeks and never noticed it. I decided that I didn’t want to keep it down there, so I tried to move it. It was pinched pretty hard against the stairs, making it difficult to get out.

When I finally got it to move, I noticed there was something behind it. At this point, I grabbed my phone and started taking pictures.”

16. Another discovered dungeon

“I rented this cool house in the hills of a Los Angeles suburb, and there is a lot of DIY stonework on the property—little walls, an archway, steps, and this dungeon built into the hill right behind the house. The history I’ve gathered is that a stonemason lived here for decades until he passed away from old age in the 90s, when the current owner purchased the property and began renting it. No one I’ve talked to knows what the dungeon was used for.”
