Whether you believe in the supernatural or not, there’s no denying that if you found something creepy in your home, it would send shivers down your spine.
So when one woman shared a concerning four-word message that had been left on the wall of the home she’d just bought, she wondered whether to take it seriously.
She explained that she hoped it was “just a joke,” but she admitted that her husband was “freaking out” over the message, and some strange coincidences had started to occur once they’d seen the simple scribble.
She shared on Mumsnet that they’d “just moved to a new house,” noting that it wasn’t “super old” but was built “around the 1930s”.
“I found this message behind the post box on the front door,” she admitted, sharing the scrawling that had her husband in a tizz.
It read: “Bewhere [sic] of the ghost!” and her husband had got into his head about the creepy message that had been scrawled there at some point.
“I think its a joke, but my husband is freaking out. The boiler also broke, so I don’t know if that’s the ghost’s fault,” she joked, clearly finding it amusing – but her hubby definitely didn’t.
She also shared that the “previous owner and their family lived here since the 1990s,” so it was probably them who had penned the message.
But people were quick to say that the original poster’s husband shouldn’t freak out, because the handwriting and spelling looked as though it was just kids playing a prank.
“Definitely a child playing a prank. Both the spelling mistake and the style of handwriting (especially the way the letters are joined) point to this being a primary school child,” someone pointed out.
Another wrote: “Blimey, your husband must be a wimp if he is freaking out over a silly bit of graffiti”.
Somebody joked: “I don’t think you need to be imagining yourself on the Uncanny podcast with Danny Robbins saying ‘One of our most chilling investigations ever — ‘The PostBox Ghost…’.”
A Mumsnet user asked: “Your husband is freaking out?” followed by an eye-rolling emoji.
A believer in the paranormal wrote: “If a ghost was up to no good why would he or she need to warn you? They could be having a merry old time moving stuff around so that you and your husband accuse each other and start quarrelling whilst the ghost sits back and watches with their ghost popcorn!”
Another hilariously penned: “It’s probably a ghost. It’s really hard to write as a ghost, so that explains the poor spelling and handwriting.”
