Homeowners Are Sharing The Wildest Things They’ve Found Left Behind By Previous Owners

A husky puppy was left in the basement. A woman helped her dad bury a body in the backyard. "Our house has original 1949 wood windows, double hung. We like them and didn't want the new ones...so we just called up Habitat for Humanity and told them that if they picked them up, they're free. They had four teenage boys over to our house in under two hours to collect them." "The dad was a local politician who supposedly died in a plane crash in Alaska years ago, but they never found his body. I think they tied him to corruption, and he disappeared. So the whole thing looks like his crash might have been staged, and he’s probably out there on the lam somewhere. "Her father was so interesting. He had racehorses, a sailboat, and built his own mountain cabin...I had the blueprints and photos. There were old photos of my house. He made jewelry and leatherwork. I had silk screening equipment, I found a full set of real silver flatware, and then a bunch of odd pieces of silver flatware in the shed. The original 1952 phone book from the first owner is still on the shelf in my bedroom. I took photos of what I mailed to her before I sent it...I kept the silver and gave the silk screening equipment and jewelry leather supplies away."
