A bemused homeowner has been left stumped after venturing into his attic for the first time.
The man took to the Weird subreddit on Reddit, sharing bewildering pictures of the peculiar items he uncovered. He said: "Went into my attic for the first time, wasn't expecting to find this."
In the images, it showcased an odd array of curtains hung from bars affixed to loft joists – with prominent floral prints draped in front of pastel-pink ones.

This curious discovery led fellow Reddit users to hypothesise about the reasons behind such an odd curtain placement.
One woman explained: "My mum 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 b*tch to iron, this was a good solution."
She later continued: "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 the original poster had doubts over this theory, retorting: 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."
Another individual chipped in: "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 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."
A third chimed in, agreeing with the playhouse idea: "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."
While a fourth person likened the eerie scene to the "ritual room" from 2018 horror flick, Hereditary. Echoing the creepy vibes, another Reddit user speculated: "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 seeing. "Yeah, you know I had a guy who had one in his treehouse. 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?"
And baffled, a fifth person asked: "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?"
